Doubts emerge over heart risk to 'apple shape


One study says that the people that have an “apple shaped” have more possibilities to suffer heart attacks than the people who have the fat distributed around de body.

One well known measure it’s the body mass index (BMI) which relates weight to height.

There are three types of obesity.

“Waist-to-hip” obesity compares the distance around the hips and waist to measure what is known as central obesity. “Apple shaped” and “Pear shaped”.

“The percentage of UK adults who are obese has increased by 50% in the last decade, and obesity in children continues to grow at an alarming rate."

"Around three-fifths of type 2 diabetes and one-fifth of heart disease cases are attributable to excess body fat. Six cancers are also linked to obesity.”

In my opinion there are many people in the world who don´t look after themselves,because they don´t consider important to lead a healthy life.The easiest way for the majority of people is to buy ready made food which sometimes is very unhealthy.Eating too much food from places like, McDonald´s or Burger King etc. etc.while making life sjmple and easy could have harmful consequences.
