Does Your Body Shape Determine Your Heart Risks..?
Dear Reader,
Important news on body shape and heart risk. Apple shapes, so called because
the weight settles in your mid section, is common in stressed men, though women
too are prone to this shape at midlife, after menopause.
The risk of heart attack
from having this body shape isn't tied to increased heart attack risk as previously
thought according to a new study in the Lancet.
This is a direct contradiction to earlier work that found overweight people
with apple shapes had three times the risk of a heart attack than those who
had their fat distributed more evenly about the body.
This latest study included a respectable sample size, 220,000 subjects who
were followed for a period of nearly ten years. Weight, hip, waist, blood
pressure, cholesterol numbers and other key health data were collected for
these subjects, who all had no history of heart disease.
During the study,
14,000 participants had either a heart attack or stroke.
The findings of the nearly 200 scientists who took part in the research were
that all three measures of weight - BMI, waist-to-hip, and waist circumference
- indicated a risk of heart attack or stroke, but that weight measurement
alone isn't able to improve a doctor's prediction of heart trouble when other
warning signs, like increased blood pressure, history of diabetes or higher
than normal cholesterol numbers, can also be used.
In other words, the distribution of the fat on the body doesn't impact heart
attack risk.
The study authors, including Professor John Danesh of Cambridge
University, are convinced the issue is more one of confusion over the best
way to measure weight. He believes that the findings of the work will help
guide health care professionals through the different recommendations for
evaluating weight out there.
There certainly are lots of ways to put a number to the body you see in the
mirror. BMI, the most common measure of weight, is a calculation that involves
both weight and height. The waist-to-hip ratio compares the distance about
the waist and hips to get an accurate picture of central obesity. Others
have suggested we use waist measurement on its own.

Does Your Body Shape Determine Your Heart Risks..? Continued...
Still, no matter how you measure it, carrying too much weight isn't good for
your heart. It can also lead to other illnesses - about three fifths of type
2 diabetes cases and one fifth of heart cases can be tied to too much body fat.
Six cancers are also associated with obesity. And with the ever-increasing numbers
of obese people out there, the consequences of all those pounds are sure to be
felt around the world.
The measurements, whichever one you choose, are a great reality check. Experts
know that people typically underestimate their body shape and size - a quick,
easy measurement is one way to show you, in black and white, just where you stand.
If you're worried about your heart health, ask your doctor for a heart health
assessment that looks at all your cardiovascular risk factors and offers practical
advice on what you can do to lower what risk you have.
The best way to address those extra pounds, no matter where you carry them, is
with a sensible diet and exercise program. Doing all you can to manage your stress
levels is also a surprisingly effective way to help you achieve the goal of a
strong, healthy heart.
To your good health,

P.S: Nike...Ebay...Amazon and Walmart pay for your opinion
Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
People like Michelle McAllister - a 34 year old full-time mother of two. Michelle and many others help "big business" make millions, although they haven't got any marketing or sales experience.
In fact Michelle knows absolutely nothing about business, but she does know what she likes...
And that's exactly the information these companies are after and will pay you for.
