fight back the belly bulge

here are some articles about the dangers of extra fat around the belly; http://www.riversideonline.com/health_reference/Womens-Health/WO00128.cfm, http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/brain-and-behavior/articles/2008/03/26/belly-fat-is-linked-to-dementia-risk, http://www.joyfullivingservices.com/handouts/dangersofmidsectionweightgain.pdf.

recent studies have shown that excess belly fat in particular is more dangerous than any other kind of fat because it is visceral fat that lies deep inside the abdomen and more directly affects the internal organs. having excess around the midsection has been linked to an increase in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers and now they are finding that it also greatly increases risks for parkinsons and alzheimer's disease in middle age men and women. but never fear! each of these articles explain just how much is too much and give good advice on how to tone your stomach while at the same time lowering your chances for these diseases, but all of that's at the end. ;)
