Belly Fat = kills men, not women
Posted by: Derek in Be 1 of The 3 Wise Men, Heart Health, Be The Vibrant WomanMore stomach fat news that seems amazing.
New research indicates that the body frame of a woman is designed with a distinct disc at the base of the pelvis that is missing in men. This has allowed a woman, about half way through her pregnancy, to adjust her spine to allow the woman to walk quite naturally, with her frame tilted back to hold her center of gravity in place for her natural daily movements and activities. And so, a pregnant woman is able to carry on without her back muscles having to tense up, as in the case for men, which causes spinal, heart and other health problems for any man carrying excess stomach fat.
So the message is clear, gents. The fat on the belly throws your spine out, affecting your health in many ways. One more reason women live longer. The writer once weighed 235 pounds on a 6 foot frame. Now, this morning, as I weighed myself I found my weight was 179.5. And you fellows, looking 12 months pregnant, almost needing a cane to walk, you know who you are. “No” thyself at the dinner table.
You don’t realize you are full until 20 minutes you have already eaten too much. Enough is enough. Love yourself enough to deny thy sugars and salts and animal fats, get out and walk. Fat bellys look beautiful on a pregnant woman, repugnant on a man, indicative of over indulgence, which for us guys, really leads to eventual self loathing.
My changing moment came 10 years ago, after back from a wonderful 6 week holidays around Europe with my youngest daughter. We had a marvelous time; restaurant meals, bus tours, eurotunnel to Paris. But when we got home I weighed 235 and looked like I was expecting twins. And you may be doing yourself in, also in some of these loving, enjoy the moment ways.
It leads us men early to grave. Time to shape up, gents. The ladies only stay fat for months, then get on with raising a wonderful new creation. Your fat belly is killing you; you may deny but your loved ones know. Take care, love yourself enough that when you get from your version of 235 down to your version of 179.5 you surely find yourself looking into the mirror in awe and joy. Fat shrinks you all over, your face will look more like Clint Eastwood than Fatty Arbuckle and you will again feel good, walk so much lighter, and those smiles from the ladies change from pity to admiration. Is that really me, all this time hiding under all that fat?
Do it for you. Even your large tummied pregnant friends will be impressed, even if they likely lose their big bellies before you. Get started. Enjoy the journey and keep the goal in mind. No fat people live to 100, too much strain on the system, heart or cancer kicks in. For long lives, you must eat right, get your exercise, keep your mind and body nimble, avoid stairs. But for now, lighten up.
