What’s the healthiest WAISTLINE for Men & Women? Visceral fat has been shown to be extremely inflammatory, and has been linked to heart disease, cancer, strokes, diabetes, gout and Alzheimer’s disease. It’ll kill you, slowly but surely. Not all waist size is visceral fat (belly fat) but if you see someone with a belly, it’s probably visceral fat-provided they are not pregnant. In terms of numbers, I’d say that you should shoot for as close to 30 inches as possible. Not everyone can get there due to the structure of their bodies, but if you have a 40 inch waist, that’s not a structure issue. The average male waist circumference in America is 40.2 inches. The average female waist circumference in America is 38.7 inches. That’s a visceral fat issue, and it’s slowly killing the country. #bklynfitness #dontgetmadgetmotivated #bellyfat #health #waistline https://www.instagram.com/p/B4R_OppA99q/?igshid=1gw225hc4cmm
