Men's Health Week 12th-18th June 2017

By
This year Men's Health Week is be focusing on belly fat. Why? Because it's the type of fat that's bad for your health and men are more likely to have it.
It's a problem because belly fat lurks not just beneath the surface but also gets down deep and surrounds your vital organs. Regardless of your overall weight, a large amount of belly fat increases your risk of:
■      Cardiovascular disease
■      Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
■      Colorectal cancer
■      Sleep apnea
■      Premature death from any cause
■      High blood pressure
