Organic food, exercise, diet and BMI are just some words that you hear every day, practically everywhere you go. From the moment you step out of your house to the time you finally pull the shades down at night, the buzz is all about taking care of yourselves.
Today's generation is health conscious and it's impossible not to cross paths with a jogger, no matter the time of the day. Of course, these same people would be very busy monitoring their BMI or Body Mass Index, criteria used by people to measure body fat. According to NY City Today, there are a handful of people who have normal Body Mass Index but still sporting huge bellies.
A research that was conducted for more than 14 years discovered that fat belly poses higher risk than obesity. 15,000 people participated in the study and their health records were collected by medical experts to be examined for a period of at least 14 years.
Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, a cardiologist from the Mayo clinic led the study.
