How do you measure up?

Have you ever taken the time to find out your waist measurement? People often don’t realise the impact that excess weight around the waist can have on their overall health and wellbeing . Taking your waist measurement is the simplest method and a good indicator of unhealthy fat you may be storing around your stomach.

A high waist measurement has been associated with an increased risk of lifestyle related chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes and more!

Increased risk:

Men: more than 94 centimetres
Women: more than 80 centimetres

Greatly increased Risk:

Men: more than 102 centimetres
Women: more than 88 centimetres
