Don't take the tag line too personal. If you're already in good shape, then it most certainly doesn't apply to you. But if you're like me, then your belly doesn't like you and isn't good to you.
What I mean is: belly fat is a killer.
"Belly fat is a killer"
Belly fat, the kind of fat that makes our guts stick out and look un-sexy is classified as visceral fat. It resides behind the abdominal wall, surrounding our organs. Research studies have found it's the single biggest predictor of heart disease. It's also linked to significant increase in the risk of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and diabetes type II.
So, there is more than just deciding that it is time to make the change because I don't like the way my belly looks, and despite being a runner for a while it still quite literally 'hanging around'. The bigger issue at stake, is I want to take care of me to be with my loved ones longer, and do the things I enjoy longer.
My belly may not like me, but I'm going to change that.
Take care of yourself, thanks for reading!
