Find Out Why You Need To Lose Those Love Handles
“Love handles” is a term that describes that area around your waistline that allows for others to grab, as if it was a handle rather than a lump of extra skin and fat.
Researchers have found that excess fat around the middle is a clear indication that an individual has a much higher risk of heart problems in the future. Put bluntly, by having a larger middle area, you increase your chances of developing conditions like hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. Discover more about natural cure for diabetes
There is a genetic factor which determines where fat is stored in your body. For some people, this will be the buttocks or the hips. Even the thighs can be the target area for deposits of fat. Whilst nobody wants to have larger hips or a big backside, the fact is that it is healthier for a person to have fat there then around their middle.
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 for delivery to the cells in the body for use as fuel. If blood sugar increases too much insulin, a hormone is produced to remove the excess and store it as fat.
Insulin resistance results when the body becomes insensitive to insulin. More insulin is required to reduce the blood sugar highs.
Research indicates that approximately 25% Americans has insulin resistance.

If you consume foods that are heavily sugared or too many refined carbohydrates, then you are likely to be one of the many that is insulin resistant or on the brink of becoming so. Foods like cookies, muffins, pizza, chips etc, make the problem many times worse.
And, those that do not get enough exercise 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 likely to suffer from insulin resistance.
Virtually anyone can reverse their situation by working not only on losing their love handles, being more active, and overhauling eating habits and lifestyle.
Don’t delay, take action now.
