What can you do about a Thickening Waistline?
First establish your waist to hip measurement – to do this take your waist at the narrowest point in cms divide by your hips at the widest point in cms.
If this is over 0.8 then you are considered apple shape and as such have potential health problems and should consider both your diet see our Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid for optimum diet and daily amounts.
You should try a grazing diet which will ensure that your blood sugar levels remain constant. This doesn’t mean eating all day but not leaving too long between meals where your blood sugar level goes right down and you find yourself reaching for a quick fix (usually high in sugar).
You should also look to increase your exercise activity.
If you are under constant stress then you should reconsider your lifestyle. You may wish to read up on the subject further and a good place to start is Marilyn Glenville’s book ‘Fat Around the Middle’
