“If the size of the waist significantly exceeds normal values, then this may be a sign of the development or presence of abdominal obesity, emerging insulin resistance and, as a result, type 2 diabetes. The risks of coronary heart disease and oncology are also not excluded, ”said nutritionist Margarita Koroleva, who is quoted as saying open.lv.

The expert also added that the more weight a person carries, the more significant the contraction of such a part of the brain as the hippocampus can occur, and as a result, the risk of developing neurodegenerative processes and Alzheimer's disease may increase.

At the end, a nutritionist named the maximum allowable limits for waist size in men and women:

“Waist size exceeding 94 cm in men indicates the onset of abdominal fat formation. Exceeding the figure 102 cm - this is the metabolic syndrome. In turn, women’s waist should be no more than 80 cm, ”the specialist concluded.

We recently wrote about a Russian woman who did not want her son to be shy and lost 50 kg. Once a resident of Chelyabinsk Yulia took her son from kindergarten when she heard that the boy was being teased because of her appearance - the woman weighed more than one hundred kilograms. Excess weight never bothered a young mother, but for the sake of her son not being shy, she decided to lose weight. For a year and a half, she managed to lose 50 kilograms, and now a fitness bikini competition awaits her.
