Dispropotionate Hip And Waist Ratio Can Be An Indicator To Heart Disease

[Linda]

If a female has a better waist and hip ration and if, there is a proportionate difference in between, she is always appreciated in the eyes of the beholders. It incites a sense of aesthetic beauty. Additionally, it denotes a healthy body of woman. The health conscious person always pays a heed in maintaining this ratio in an acceptable measurement.

If, the female is afflicted by obesity, the ratio tends to show a diminishing curve. It portends a negative marking in terms of heart disease, hypertension and other associated bodily disorders. In the reproductive age, the measurement of circumference should not go beyond 35 inches. In this case, it is seen that the bad cholesterols are replacing friendly or good cholesterol of the body. Cholesterols, collectively, are serving many important functions in the body. Problem starts when they cross their normal limits.

The origin of all cholesterols is a special type of fat or lipid. In the process of fat metabolism these cholesterols are formed and transported via blood to the different organs. They form many hormones and help building up many cells and strengthen immune system. If, fat intake is more in food, body can not utilize them in total quantity. As a result, they get deposited in different parts of the body. Some times, there is a deficiency in the body system, in terms of proper cholesterol metabolism. The later may further aggravate the scenario.

High density lipoprotein (HDL) is friendly cholesterol in the body. It serves its function by cleansing impurities of different organs. It is like a scavenger, which does not allow dust to get deposited. The ratio of HDL gets disturbed with the abnormal rise of the bad cholesterol. Excess deposit of triglyceride and low density lipoprotein disturbs the level of HDL. It is seen that in such case, the chances of hypertension and heart disorders are more prominent.

The probability of diabetes is another problem. Excess fat always acts as antagonist to insulin's activity. Since insulin is directly involved in proper metabolism of carbohydrates, any disturbance here increases the possibility of diabetes. The process in most of the cases is silent and by routine pathological examination mainly, the case is detected. It acts as poison in the blood. Initially, it may not cause any perceptible problem but within 10 -15 years, it starts destroying the different vital organs of the body.

In addition to that, heavy weight gives extra pressure to the bone and joint system. It is likely that, obese persons will have more problems related to joint pain and mobility. A healthy body attracts more oxygen intake. Oxygen vitalizes the total body systems. When lungs get pressed due to excess fat, free inflow of air becomes obstructed. This gives rise to snoring problem and night time sleep becomes inadequate. As a result, most persons feel drowsiness in their day time activity. Lastly, the range of normal life expectancy is getting reduced and the obese persons land up with a bunch of problems in their latter life.

Good hip and waist ratio indicates a healthy life and disproportionate ratio foretells the opposite tale.
