Belly Fat Will Kill You!
It's not just about looking good, it's feeling great and living longer

Once You Have Fat, You Can Never Go Back

In gyms, playing fields, beaches, and bedrooms across the country, our bodies are constantly being measured. And in dressing room mirrors and on bathroom scales, we're constantly measuring ourselves. But let's set aside those vanity measurements and concentrate on measuring ourselves by a different set of criteria--the number of fat cells we're carrying.

The average American has about 30 billion fat cells; each of them is filled with greasy substances called lipids. When you pump doughnuts, corn chips, and fried Snickers bars into your system, those fat cells can expand--up to 1,000 times their original size. But a fat cell can get only so big; once it reaches its physical limit, it starts to behave like a long-running sitcom. It creates spin-offs, leaving you with two or more fat cells for the price of one. Only problem: Fat cells have a no-return policy. Once you have a fat cell, you're stuck with it. So as you grow fatter and double the number of fat cells in your body, you also double the difficulty you'll have losing the lipids inside them. Read More

Obesity
Being overweight and obese are underlying risk factors for the top causes of death, including hypertension, adult-onset diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Obesity is a major cause of the overall loss of energy experienced by so many people.

According to the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Surgeon General, most of "the top ten causes of death due to disease are attributable to health risks associated with excess body fat." The National Institutes of Health states it flatly: "Obesity is a leading cause of heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and even cancer." (More Information)

PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT

The benign enlargement of the prostate gland affects most men over the age of 60. The enlarged prostate interferes with the flow of urine from the bladder, which can produce mild to severe urinary obstruction.

After age 60, the number of men who suffer urinary difficulties caused by prostate enlargement may exceed 70%. Autopsy studies show that 40% of men in their 50s are afflicted with benign prostate enlargement.Read on how to prevent and treat this condition (More Information)
