Although some doctors still consider a person's body mass index (BMI) to be an accurate measurement for diabetes and heart disease risk, recent research shows you should pay more attention to your waist size.
According to several studies, having a waist circumference larger than 99 centimetres significantly increases a person's risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes and heart failure - especially in people over 70 years old. This also holds true for people at a normal weight but with a bigger waist size - you're more likely to develop obesity-related diseases if you don't try to reduce the size of your midsection.
The most effective method for reducing your waist size is to combine regular exercise with a healthy, balanced diet that contains little or no saturated fats.
