Weight loss and Medicines
To determine quickly if you are overweight the following is a surefire way of pinpointing your health risks.
Waist to Hip Ratio determines distribution of body fat. More body fat in the upper body (chest and waist) suggests increased health risk for elevated triglycerides, high blood pressure, strokes, longer time to conceive, heart disease or diabetes. More fat in the lower body (hips and thighs) suggests fat loss is difficult.
- Using a tape measure, measure the
hips in inches (or centimeters) at the top of the hip bone on the right
front of the body. This spot will be slightly lower than your belly
button.
- Next, measure the waist 1" (2.5 cm) above your belly button in inches (or centimeters).
- Using
these two measurement values, divide the waist reading (2) by the hip
reading (1). This tells you where most of your body fat is located.
Apple shape (a ratio of .95 or greater) means your body fat is located above your waist which indicates a higher health risk for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and some cancers. Pear shape (a ratio of less than .95) means your body fat is located below your waist which indicates a lower health risk, but fat located in the lower half of the body may be harder to lose during weight loss.
