''Belly fat boosts risk of dying of heart disease'' They couldn't have said it any better




Even if you’re not overweight, having a large belly raises your risk of dying of heart disease, a new study suggests.

They found that normal-weight people with a “spare tire” (known as central or abdominal obesity) had a higher risk of dying of heart disease or any other cause compared with people without central obesity, regardless of whether they were normal weight, overweight, or obese. The results, published in the Dec. 15, 2015, Annals of Internal Medicine, suggest that people with central obesity—even if they’re not overweight—may benefit from lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease, such as exercise and eating a healthy, plant-based diet.

Wow! This information is really important obesity is not the only danger zone, we all have to watch it.
