Belly Fat poses REAL Problems

Belly Fat -- Studies show that adults who carry a lot of weight around their midsection during middle age face an increase risk of developing dementia later in life. Abdominal fat is more dangerous than excess fat around your hips and thighs because it specifically triggers a chain of harmful metabolic reactions that increase inflammation, raise insulin and blood sugar levels, promote plaque formation in the arteries, and increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. A waist circumference for men 40 inches or greater is considered high risk and for women 35 inches or greater is considered high risk. To take your measurement, place just above the hip bone, relax, exhale and pull the tape measure so it is snug but not squeezing in to the skin. (NO sucking it in or holding your breath allowed!) https://www.holistichealthhouston.com/shop-by-health-concern/weight-loss.html
