WAIST SIZE IS IMPORTANT!

Know your weight loss facts--not all fat is created equal!

Recent reports indicate that fat accumulated around the waist and chest is more dangerous to your health than fat accumulated in other areas of the body!

The National Institute of Health reports that a waist size larger than 40 inches (males) and 35 inches (females) increases the chances of developing heart disease and cancer.

Research is now telling us that people who accumulate fat around their mid-sections are more likely to develop age-related dementia than those who accumulate fat in other parts of the body. This report comes with a bit of hope attached to it. Doctors say it is never too late to lose weight and get fit!
