If you're a man carrying a spare tire... Listen up. There are some impressive health benefits to be gained for holding mens waist measurements under control.

In fact, this estimate may be a far good barometer of your comprehensive health than the estimate you see on the scale.
To measure your waistline the right way, wrap a flexible tape measure over your bare skin and let it sit at your natural waistline, just above your belly button. holding the tape measure firmly, without manufacture it too tight (or too loose) look at the estimate where the starting of the tape meets the end. No holding your breath until the measuring is finished. Now you've got a solid estimate on which to base your estimation of your comprehensive health.
For most men, a measure of 40 inches and over puts him at risk of some rather serious, life altering diseases. Even if he's not overweight agreeing to the scale, the waist measurement indicates that body fat is centered in the worst possible location.
We've talked before about how extra abdominal fat (compared to fat in other places of the body) is so troublesome. This visceral fat raises a man's risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and even some forms of cancer, not to mention addition the odds he'll die earlier than he should.
What can a man with a larger waistline do? Plenty...
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet, including lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains
- Cut your stress levels and actively carry on the stress you do have
- Limit your intake of alcohol, beer and hard liquor, though wine may be all right in moderation
- Be active normally - at a minimum 150 minutes of gently intense practice per week
- Get 7 to 9 hours of good potential sleep each night
Though we might wish for a magic bullet, special food, targeted practice or incommunicable method to get rid of that fat in your abdomen - there just isn't one, despite the ads and promises marketers would have you believe. Losing that beer belly or spare tire is simpler and less glamorous than that... Calling for patience and consistent effort to be successful.
You need to take in fewer fat than you burn on a quarterly basis. Once you start to lose weight, the good news is that mens' waist measurements normally start to decrease, as weight generally drops off the belly area first, and you'll end up losing more weight from your belly area if you stick to your weight loss plan. It seems that that visceral fat, being more metabolically active, is also easier to drop than the kind of fat found just under the skin, more so if you have more than your fair share.
