Insight into women's health from sexy curves

Some people have thin limbs or easily feel sore after exercise, which may mean that they have less muscle mass and weaker strength. Multiple studies have shown a direct correlation between muscle mass and health and longevity. As the human body ages, muscles decrease at a rate of 1% per year. By the age of 40, the average rate of muscle mass loss reaches 8% or even higher. Experts say this loss of muscle strength is avoidable. Even elderly people in their seventies or eighties can restore their muscle strength to the level of a 40-year-old through proper exercise. Therefore, it is recommended that people add appropriate strength training such as lifting dumbbells and barbells while doing aerobic exercises such as running.

2. Thick ankles or fat feet

If your ankles or feet become thickened and swollen, it may be caused by eating too much salt, long-distance travel or menstruation. This type of chronic edema may be an alarm sent by the heart or kidneys, indicating that these organs are not functioning well, resulting in abnormal blood, body fluid circulation and detoxification. Experts suggest that if your ankles or feet are often swollen and then disappear after a few days, you should go to the hospital to check your kidney function. You should pay attention to your salt intake and exercise more, especially your lower body, to ensure blood flow.

3. Thick neck

Several recent studies have found that neck circumference (neck circumference) can also reflect health problems, just like body mass index (BMI). Research from Boston University in the United States shows that neck circumference is a major indicator for measuring cardiovascular risk. Neck circumference is also directly related to sleep apnea. Experts say that even if you are at a normal weight, you should always pay attention to your neck circumference. If you feel that your necklace has become shorter or your shirt collar has become tighter, you should pay attention. In addition to ensuring a healthy diet, you should also exercise moderately to reduce body fat, especially fat in the upper body. You can usually move your neck by twisting your waist, nodding forward, backward, left and right.

4. Waist circumference is greater than or equal to hip circumference

Studies have found that some people do not look fat or their weight is not "overweight", but they have a beer belly and their waist is even thicker than their hips. Then, their risk of death from heart disease is greater than that of obese patients. This is because abdominal fat is close to internal organs and can easily transfer to the liver or accumulate on the inner walls of blood vessels with blood flow, leading to vascular diseases and diabetes. Generally speaking, the waist circumference of men and women should not exceed 40 inches or 35 inches (about 100 cm or 89 cm) respectively. People with excessive waist circumference should improve their lifestyle, exercise for 1 hour a day, and do moderate-intensity brisk walking, jogging and other cardiopulmonary activities at least 5 days a week.

5. Big butt

People with big hips are more likely to gain weight, and even if they lose weight, they are likely to gain it back. Women with larger hips have a higher incidence of osteoporosis. A study by the University of California, Davis found that fat in the buttocks increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Experts suggest that people with big buttocks should always pay attention to their fat intake, strictly control their weight, sit less, and stand up and move their bodies more often when they have nothing to do.
