Will Belly Fat Kill you?

Have you heard of the dangers of abdominal obesity (also known as belly fat)?  This increases risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.  BUT did you know that it could literally kill a person?

Scientists at the National Institute of health recently analyzed data collected from 44,000 women in the Nurses' Health Study over a 16 year period and asked if abdominal obesity affected their death rates from heart disease and cancer (Zhang et al, Circulation, 117: 1658-1667, 2008).  The answer was YES!

The study showed that women with a waist measurement of 35 inches were twice as likely to die from heart disease and cancer then women with a waist measurement of 28 inches - even if they were at an ideal body weight.

How could someone be at an ideal weight and still have abdominal obesity?

There is a natural tendency to loose muscle mass as we age.  When we add in the inactivity associated with the American lifestyle that loss of muscle mass is accelerated and the muscle is replaced with fat.

Of course the women who were both overweight and had abdominal obesity were even more likely to die from heart disease or cancer.

So it isn't just about not looking good in your bathing suit, abdominal obesity is a KILLER!

The GOOD new is you can do something about abdominal obesity.  A combination of exercise, a healthy diet and the "Cinch Inch Loss Plan" is a proven way of getting rid of that unsightly belly fat forever!
