Scientists have found a link between belly fat, blood pressure and reactions to food

It turns out that people with high blood pressure need more time and effort to clear the blood of fats after meals. They also have higher levels of inflammation after eating.
A new study shows that this link is largely due to visceral fat — the fat that surrounds your organs in your abdomen. This suggests that weight loss may be particularly important for improving the body's response to food in people with high blood pressure.
The study involved 1,000 people. They measured their body's response to food over a two-week period.
