Your Waist is Bigger Than Your Hips
Overweight people tend to fit into two categories: pear-shaped and apple-shaped. While being overweight on its own may be an indicator of poor health, if you are part of the latter group it might come as a surprise to you that you are at a higher risk of heart disease than your pear-shaped friends.
Being apple-shaped can also put you at a higher risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, as abdominal fat causes naturally produced insulin to work less efficiently.
