Tummy fat. Some of us have, some do not. Is there something special about a big belly compared to a high background? Well, surprisingly, not all body fat is created equal! According to a study by researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, it appears that measuring your risk of heart attack depends on where your fat is rather than how much fat you have.
These types of results are not unique to MacMasters. Dr. David Heber, Ph.D., UCLA Center for Human Nutrition reports that distribution of body fat is a more important predictor of the risk of heart attack than the traditional measure of body mass index (BMI) , which is a measure based on the ratio between your height and weight.
It seems that a more accurate indicator of body fat affect your health, your overall body shape. You may be more like an apple or a pear, or also shaped top and bottom. You may have big thighs, hips and buttocks fat huge and have a lower risk of heart attack than someone with a big belly and legs.
A more accurate indicator of risk of heart attack, is the WHR-.
What is your waist-hip ratio?
Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. For example, if your hip measurement is 40 inches and your waist is 34 inches from your hip size is 0.85. If you are a man, that's fine, if you're a woman, it's OK (but you're right on the boundary of health).
- Ratio of a man should not be above 0.90
- Ratio of a woman must not be more than 0.85
Do not fight against nature
If you were born of an apple, an apple and you'll stay if you are born of a pear, you will still be displayed. Accept your body's natural form is the first step to losing weight. In a study by Glasgow, Scotland, psychologist Dorothy Heffernan, Ph.D., the researchers concluded that women whose actual body shape differs from the one they want can find it frustrating to lose weight and have more difficult to pursue a program of weight loss in a row.
If this sounds like you, accept your general form as nature intended, but attention to reducing the fat around the waist and stomach areas. Circumference is more important for your health than how you look over your chest and down.
