This Is How Belly Fat Could Increase Your Cancer Risk

 Belly Fat is a concern many of us have so I wanted to share the article below:

This Is How Belly Fat Could Increase Your Cancer Risk: A new Michigan State University study now offers new details showing that a certain protein released from fat in the body can cause a non-cancerous cell to turn into a cancerous one.

The Dangers of Abdominal Fat

 Interesting article about the dangers of abdominal fat: 


 Although this picture depicts an overweight man, this article applies to dangerous types of fat inside the bodies of both men and women... and this discussion also applies even if you only have a slight amount of excess stomach fat.

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat?  It's true -- as much as 70% of the population in some "westernized" countries such as the US and Australia are now considered either overweight or obese.  The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible and makes them self-conscious about showing off their body.

However, what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat, in particular, is not only ugly but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research has clearly determined that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.
