MENâS HEALTH MONTH â Love Your Belly?
âWhen you look down, can you see your toes? Or is your stomach getting in the way? We might love our bellies, but itâs a sad truth that our fat bellies arenât loving us back. Stomach fat is actually really dangerous to our health. It wraps around our internal organs and leeches poison in to our bodies. It also greatly increases our chances of developing heart disease and diabetes. So take a look at your belly this week, and decide if you need to slim down a bit. Wrap a tape measure around the biggest part of your waist, and if itâs more than half your height, it's worth losing a few of those extra centimetres.â
