How Fat is Your Neck?
Recent research has shown that the thickness of ones neck may be a better indication of heart problems and risk that waist circumference. In an American study 3300 men and women, with an average age of 51, where examined by the Framlington Heart Study.
Results showed that even in subjects with a relatively healthy bodyweight, a larger than average neck represented increased risk. Those with more fat deposited around their necks had lower levels of the good cholesterol, HDL, which helps to draw bad cholesterol away from the heart and liver. Fat deposits around the internal organs (known as visceral fat) are the greatest danger to health. Past research has shown that it is not the amount of fat a person carries that increases risk of ill health, but where iti s deposited, and a larger than average neck could be an indication of increased fat deposits in the upper body, around the heart and liver.
So, what action can be taken to reduce this risk? Research has also shown that diet does not shift visceral fat. The only effective solution is to exercise, and the best exercise is in the form of intensive interval training.
