Abdominal Obesity is Harmful
By Laura Ng
Do not take lightly that extra fat around your waist. It affects your health in more ways than just being an ugly sight.
Poor lung function
A research published in the medical journal, Chest stated there’s a relationship between lung function and overall obesity and abdominal adiposity (collection of fats) in 2,153 adults in New York.
In fact, abdominal adiposity was a better predictor of lung function than weight or body mass index (BMI). The research further showed that increasing obesity, in particular abdominal obesity, is inversely related with lung function.
