Our body talks and it
does it through the size of our waist.
How wide is your waist will tell
you easily how much fat is being accumulated at the central level of your body
which is strongly related to serious heart problems such as heart attack and
stroke.
How wide is your
waist?
Take a centimeter and
measure it accurately in line crossing the belly buttom as shown below.
It is better done if you can be
standing up in front of a mirror. Relax and do not press your stomach. Do not
try to gain a few centimeters less. And once you have the data, analyze if you
have risk of cardiovascular disease or not according to these number shown below.
Men's waist should be
40" wide.
It is important to note that if
your waist measures beyond these numbers is urgent to start thinking about what
you can change in your life to reduce the size of your waist. It is not
necessary to be obese to get a wide waist.
Medical science has divided
obesity depending on where it accumulates in our body. It is the androgynous
or central obesity that fat that accumulates in the area over WAIST (mostly
men) and ginecoide obesity is
the fat that accumulates in the area below the waist (mostly women).
The central or
androgynous obesity - apple shape - is related to cardiovascular diseases such
as heart attack, high blood pressure or stroke. This type of obesity fat accumulates around the gut
and mainly affects our vital organs: The liver can be damaged by non-alcoholic
cirrhosis and can eventually lead to liver cancer.
On the other hand, obesity
ginecoide - or
pear-shaped, is that obesity concentrated in the area of thighs,
hips, breasts and legs especially in women, and this one carries less risk than androgen
obesity or apple-shaped.
However, it is also better to control it to avoid circulatory problems such as
varicose veins, fatigue, among others.
Do you want to lose
weight and consequently reduce excess fat in the waist area?
Reduce carbohydrates, eat proper
portions, respect meal times, do not eat refined sugars (pastries) and do
cardiovascular exercise daily as biking, walking and jogging among many outdoor
activities.
Avoid at all costs
sedentary lifestyle!
