Today, i was read in News BBC about Health and found an interesting with “Fat neck a clue to heart risk” and I agree with that. The Professor Jimmy Bell of the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre said ‘research was starting to uncover ever more evidence that health depended not on how fat a person was, but where their fat was located. Risk was expression between lower levels of "good" cholesterol for instance, or higher levels of blood glucose. The distance around the neck for men was 40.5cm and 34.2cm for women. The higher risk of heart disease is man has lower than 40mg/dl and 50 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter) for women. However, I think that a fat neck maybe not completed way of upper body fat which has been connected with heart risks. What you don't want is fat around your liver or heart, and this can happen even if you look fine on the outside.
I’m happy to see all comment in my summary of News BBC with all of you. Thank you for your attention.

In my opinion, the thickness around neck related with waist. Sometime when I want to buy trousers that some shop can't try I bring that trouser measure around my neck. It can tell me that is just suitable. So,the thickness around neck related with waist. It mean if you have much thickness around your neck, you may have much thickness around your waist. It not good because the thickness around your waist related with risk of heart and blood pressure.
ReplyDeleteI notice from fat person which have the thickness around neck and heart risk.I agree with this research.Fat person have risk of disease than slim person because fat means cholesterol in your body.It makes fatty around liver,heart or blood vessel which cause of disease.Then,the relation of the thickness around neck and heart risk have higher possibility.That's my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThank for good news,Lila
The last line in the report, which Lila quoted, worried me a bit: "and this can happen even if you look fine on the outside". In the article, Professor Bell then says that you have to exercise because dieting to be thin isn't enough.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time I started to work out again, especially now that I'm getting close to average age of Bell's subjects.
I loved May's comment about checking the size of trousers by measuring them around her neck! I've never heard of that. Do other people do that?
And I agree with Ann's thanks for bringing an interesting news report to our attention.
And I have a question: I made a small change to the "New Post" page in Blogger. Now, the "New Post" page opens ready for you add your summary and commments, and also with a References section.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this is a good idea?
Is it useful?
If you don't like it, or want to change it, let me know.
It's an interesting diagonostic criteria. However, I wonder if it could penetrate all over the world like a measureing the waist.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, taking exercise is absolutely necessary to stay healthy. Every time I know the the new reserch findings, I get fed up with them. I hope that everyone could be healthy.
In my opinion, the thinkness of neck is only sign of heart risk but can't identified that you are heart disease. Somebody ,who is thin and low weight, are heart disease because their heart are weak and heperlipid in vessel,but I agree diagonostic with thickness of neck ,but it isn't all sign of disease. You 'd invesigate when you exercise in the garden. Do you hurt on your chest? It's important sign of heart disease.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it is very good for me and everyone because now a day a lot of people to meet a problem with obesity .The cause of an obesity is may be people like fast food, junk food and some people like to eat tidbits between meals. when if we fat that is we have risk to disease. Such as heart disease and blood pressure. And I agree with May’s comment about the thickness around neck related with waist. When I going to buy trousers I can make it by bring measure around neck. It can surprised to tell my size that is suitable.
