Fat apples, fat pears

All fat is not created equal.


Some of us are shaped like apples: big around the middle.

Others of us are more like pears: big in the butt.

Pear people live longer than apple people. Some scientists think it’s because fat throws off toxins, and belly fat resides closer to the liver and heart.

Whatever is going on, the larger the waistline, the higher the odds you’ll die after a heart attack. Guys with a 40″ waist and gals with a waist of 35″ and up are at risk.
