1. Thin legs.
Some people have slender limbs or are prone to soreness after exercise, which may mean less muscles and weak strength. Many studies show that muscle is directly related to health and longevity. With the aging of human body, muscle will decrease at the rate of 1% every year, and by the age of 40, the average rate of muscle group decrease will reach 8% or even higher. Experts say that the weakening of muscle strength can be avoided. Even the elderly in their seventies and eighties can recover their muscle strength to the level of 40 years old through proper exercise. Therefore, it is suggested that people should appropriately increase strength training such as lifting dumbbells and barbells while doing aerobic exercise such as running.
2. Thick ankles or fat feet.
If your ankle or foot becomes thick and swollen, it may be because you have eaten too much salt, traveled long distances or menstruated. This chronic edema may be an alarm from the heart or kidney, indicating that these organs are not functioning normally, resulting in abnormal blood and body fluid circulation and detoxification. Experts suggest that if the ankle or foot is often swollen, it will disappear in a few days, and you should go to the hospital to check your kidney function in time. You should pay attention to salt intake and do more exercise, especially in the lower body, to ensure smooth blood flow.
3. The neck is thick.
Some recent studies have found that neck circumference can reflect health problems and body mass index (BMI). A study by Boston University shows that neck circumference is a major indicator to measure cardiovascular risk. Neck circumference is also directly related to sleep apnea. Experts say that even if your weight is normal, you should always pay attention to your neck circumference. If you feel that the necklace is getting shorter or the shirt collar is getting tighter, you should pay attention. In addition to ensuring a healthy diet, you should also exercise moderately to reduce body fat, especially upper body fat. Usually you can twist your waist, nod your head back and forth, and move your neck.
4. Waist circumference is greater than or equal to hip circumference.
Studies have found that some people don't look fat, or they are not "overweight", but they have beer bellies, and even their waistlines are thicker than their hips. Then, they are at greater risk of dying of heart disease than obese patients. This is because abdominal fat is close to internal organs, which is easy to transfer to the liver, or accumulate on the inner wall of blood vessels with blood flow, leading to vascular diseases and diabetes. Generally speaking, the waist circumference of men and women should not exceed 40 inches or 35 inches (about 100 cm or 89 cm) respectively. People with too thick waistlines should improve their lifestyle, exercise 1 hour every day, and do moderate-intensity cardiopulmonary activities such as brisk walking and jogging at least five days a week.
5. Big ass.
People with big hips are more likely to gain weight, and even if they lose weight, they will easily rebound. The incidence of osteoporosis is higher in women with big hips. A study at the University of California, Davis found that hip fat increases the risk of hypertension, heart disease and diabetes. Experts suggest that people with big hips should always pay attention to fat intake, strictly control their weight, sit less, and stand up and exercise more when they have time.
