Discover Why You Need To Lose Those Love Handles
“Love handles” is a phrase used to describe that area around your waist that allows for others to grab on to you, as if it was a handle rather than a roll of extra skin and fat.
Research shows that excess fat around the middle is a good indicator that a person will suffer from heart risks at an accelerated level. In other words, a large middle section increases your chances of going on to develop things like heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Discover more about natural cure for diabetes
There is a genetic factor which determines where fat is stored in your body. For some, this will be the hips or the buttock. Even the thighs can be the target area for fat deposits. While no one wants to have big hips or a big backside, the fact is that it is healthier for a person to carry fat there then around their mid section.
As we mentioned earlier, there are increased risk factors for those that have extra stored fat around their mid section.
* Persons with larger mid sections are prone to heart disease
* Persons with more abdominal fat are more likely to develop diabetes. Discover more about diet for type 2 diabetes
When you consume carbohydrates the body turns them into glucose and it enters the bloodstream to be carried to the body’s cells where it will be used as high octane fuel. If blood sugar goes too high insulin, a hormone is secreted to remove the excess and store it as fat.
Insulin resistance occurs when the body becomes insensitive to insulin. Even more insulin is demanded to lower the blood sugar highs.
Research indicates that approx. 25% Americans has insulin resistance.

If you consume foods that are high in sugar or too many simple carbohydrates, then you are likely to be one of the many that is insulin resistant or on the verge of becoming so. Foods such as muffins, white bread, sugary drinks, french fries etc, make the problem ten times worse.
And, those that are inactive also face insulin resistance. As are those who drink too much, are overly stressed, or have a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure or excess body fat around the midsection are all candidates to suffer from insulin resistance.
Virtually anyone can reverse their situation by working not only on getting rid of love handles, exercising regularly, and overhauling diet and lifestyle.
Take action now, you can’t afford to put it off.
