Apple Pear or Hourglass These are the 3 main body types according to doctors Which one you have can say a lot about your health and could explain why its so hard to lose weight
Apples carry extra weight around the waist
This is where a dangerous type of fat often accumulates Its called visceral fat and it penetrates deep under the skin It builds up around the organs harming them over time
The result is a higher risk of Heart disease High blood pressure Type 2 diabetes Certain cancers like colon and uterine cancer
The upside Visceral fat is the easiest type to get rid of with diet and exercise So apples often lose weight faster than other body shapes
However pears have a harder time losing weight
Thats because pears store most excess fat in their lower half This stubborn fat is commonly called passive fat While its not as dangerous as visceral fat it places extra stress on the legs
This can increase the risk of Varicose veins Degenerative knee and leg joint diseases The upside Pears are at lower risk of the diseases that apples often face
Then there are those shaped like an hourglass for women or rectangle for men These people tend to carry extra weight all over That includes visceral fat around the midsection
So theyre also at risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes Luckily diet and exercise can reduce the health risks
