Being overweight and obese also exposes you to a greater risk of developing blood clots, either in the leg or in the lung. The bigger your waist, the higher your risk.
The men whose waists are larger than 41 inches are more likely to develop blood clots while women with hips that are 43 inches or more have a greater risk of a blood clot. Those who do not exercise and have poor blood circulation are also at risk.
Where you carry your excess weight also matters. People who gain weight mostly on their hips and buttocks are said to have a pear body shape while those who gain weight mostly in their abdomen have an apple body shape.
People who are apple-shaped have a higher risk of health problems associated with obesity.
Thus it is important to lose weight and the fat around the abdomen. Does that mean you should eliminate fat from your diet?
No. There are good fats and bad fats. You should take food that are sources of good fat, such as nuts and fatty fish such as cod, mackerel and sardines. Your body needs fat to regulate body temperature, to cushion and insulate your organs and tissue.
It is not easy to get rid of the excess fat but you can do it with the help of weight loss products.
