According to "Nursing for Women's Health" magazine, women who carry excess fat around their waists, even if they were of normal overall weight, are at a greater risk of dying early from cancer or heart disease. The article goes on to say that women with a waist size of more than or equal to 35 inches were twice as likely to die from heart disease as were women with waist size less than 28 inches. O.K., I am not living in fear, but this certainly does motivate me....yep, that's my waist in the picture and in case you can't read the numbers, I'll enlighten you, it's more than 35 inches....
