How To Use Belly Fat As Warning Sign

By Carolin 

Welcome back!

We know that fat is bad for our health. But where on our bodies the fat is stored makes a great difference.
Many women that gain weight get pear shaped.
But it is really the apple shape that we should worry about.

A lot of belly fat and a big waistline is an important health monitor. Too long waist circumference shows a risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Are you in the risk zone?

The international limit set by WHO is:

- 40 inches or 102 cm for men

- 35 inches or 88 cm for women
