Belly fat plays an active role in body releasing hormones ( chemicals that direct many processes within the body ) and other substances. Belly fat release a hormones which kick the body’s stress response into action, which raises blood pressure, blood sugar and the risk of heart disease. High blood pressure later on causes a stroke.<br /><br />Hormones make it difficult for the body to process insulin, that controls blood sugar. People with lots of belly fat have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Hormones increases the risk of certain cancer like colorectal and breast cancer.<br /><br />Belly fat dumps fat into the bloodstream, where it travels straight to the liver. Liver is in charge of making “good” cholesterol and “ bad” cholesterol. Now when liver is surrounded by extra fat from the abdomen, it makes more kind of bad cholesterol and less good one.<br /><br />Belly fat affects the brain. Some of the chemicals belly fat secretes cause inflammation, which can increase your risk of dementia and depression. Abdominal fat is the main culprit of many health problem. Belly fat has more bearing on the health than the body mass index (BMI), a more traditional measure.<br /><br />BMI tells you whether you are overweight, at a normal weight or underweight for your height, but it does not tell you where the extra pounds – fat –are located on the body. Conclusion is that a larger waistline is a threat to the health – whether or not the scale says you are ok.<br /><br />-Yagnesh Out!Yagneshhttp://i.imgur.com/a9Ay9.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018230518319999846.post-37986412428866284392013-09-11T09:02:32.380-04:002013-09-11T09:02:32.380-04:00I was an early adopter off Kickstarter but ultimat...I was an early adopter off Kickstarter but ultimately had to return my watch.

While it's true that the Mac had slightly better screen resolution, the Pebble is actually a fairly impressive computer.<br /><br />One issue I have is that the Pebble folks seem a little too fixated on watch apps (you get five out of the box and you see them all the time, and they artificially limit each add-on to 25k of space, rather than letting the user choose to install a single much larger app). Add to that an artificially small size limit on individual messages between the smart phone and the Pebble and you have some "first generation" limits that I hope are lifted as the software is upgraded over the coming months.<br /><br />Having said that, the dev community is responding in some clever ways. the Tempus Fugit app has its own process scheduler, which lets you run up to four features at the same time. This means you can have a stopwatch, a countdown timer, a "meeting cost calculator" and an embedded watchface all going at the same time. I suspect we're going to see more of this sort of thing as the programmers start to feel their oats.<br /><br />In other words, this is quite a powerful hardware platform and once folks have had a chance to figure out what to do with it I suspect we're going to see some pretty amazing stuff. It's just going to take a little time for us all to get used to having this much power within plain sight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018230518319999846.post-69135998699257798222013-09-10T17:33:55.293-04:002013-09-10T17:33:55.293-04:00"the device itself doesn’t handle any of the ..."the device itself doesn’t handle any of the calculations. Even the processing for its two-bit e-paper display is handled by the phone, leading to many criticisms of the smartwatch as not being particularly smart." This is just plain wrong. It works perfectly fine as a watch and with any stand-alone apps.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610385791845543073noreply@blogger.com
