The Heritage Gallery was opened in 1961 by Benjamin Horowitz and Charlotte Sherman. It is perhaps the oldest continuously operating gallery in Los Angeles, and has consistently exhibited the finest quality art. The Heritage Gallery has assisted many museums and notable art collectors in building their collections. Charlotte Sherman is a frequent museum curator and has organized important museum exhibitions. She has been a certified appraiser since 1975.
Whether you're an apple shape with excess belly fat, or a pear with wide hips and thighs, when you lose weight you'll most likely lose proportionately more from the abdominal region than elsewhere. The type of fat that is responsible for the â beer bellyâ shape is called visceral fat. Visceral fat (the fat surrounding your vital organs) is more metabolically active than subcutaneous fat (the fat just under your skin) so it tends to burn off quicker.
The reason is that there are two different kinds of fat in your belly and visceral fat is only one of them. In a health setting, the word visceral means in or near your vital organs (your viscera). These are the organs deep in your gut, like your stomach and your intestines. Visceral muscles are found in the walls of your visceral organs. Visceral fat surrounds those organs. Since your vital organs are located in your midsection, visceral fat accumulates in the area around your belly. But not all belly fat is visceral fat. There is another kind of fat called subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is located underneath the skin.
