Waistline Predicts Heart Disease Risk

Using the fanciest and most sophisticated high tech cardiovascular imaging equipment researchers at the Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas have just saved the world a bundle of money in cardiovascular diagnostic testing.  As it turns out all you need is a tape measure placed around your waist. 

The general cut off line is 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women.  More than that and a person is likely gaining plaque in their arteries at a rate that promotes heart disease.  A flat stomach is clearly best.  There emerged a clear linear relationship, the larger the stomach the greater the problem.

This information confirms earlier population studies regarding waistline and cardiovascular disease.  A tape measure around the waist will not be heavily promoted by the sickness industry that spends hundreds of millions on imaging technology and must charge excessive money to make a profit as well as pay for the equipment. 

A recent study shows that over the last 25 years women think it is OK to be heavier, not only do they average 6 pounds heavier but they have adjusted their idea of ideal weight to be heavier.  Maybe we should all think again and quit being so accepting of improper body weight.

If we focused on waist measurement as a result of a healthy diet and exercise we could also save 20 billion taxpayer dollars per year on the cholesterol medication scam.
