Visual Signs of Poor Health That You Probably Ignore But Shouldn’t

Your Waist is Wider Than Your Hips

Overweight individuals are usually one of two shapes: pear or apple. One is less healthy than the other. Although being “overweight” is not always a sign of poor physical health, as some muscular people, like football athletes, are overweight based on BMI, the distribution of body fat provides clues. You see, an apple-shaped body means that you are at a higher risk of heart disease.

Apple-shaped bodies mean that body fat is gathered around the torso, amounting to a high amount of abdominal belly fat. This also elevates your chance of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
