Are you apple or pear body shape?

Did you know that it is not how fat you are but where your fat is located that can make you more at risk of health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer.

If you have a “pear” body shape, which means that you store your fat around your hips and bum than you are not at such a high risk of health problems.

But… if you have an “apple” shape where you store your fat around your waist than unfortunately you are at a higher risk of health problems. Most women tend to have an “apple” shape and the larger the waist the higher the risk. They say that a waist of 35 inches and above is most at risk.

If you are overweight or obese, losing weight will lower the risks, so you need to start exercising and eating healthy food.
