No more than this figure: what waist size is considered acceptable in terms of health and beauty

Waist circumference can tell a lot about the state of health – both in women and in men. That is why it is important to make sure that its size does not exceed the permitted limits.

Keeping track of size is important not only for aesthetic reasons. The fact is that visceral fat is deposited in this area – a “deep” type of fat, located next to vital organs: along with the heart, stomach, liver and intestines.

Often, these deposits are the cause of the development of serious diseases – ranging from cardiovascular diseases to diabetes, to oncology.

By the way, it is the control of waist parameters that can help prevent an increase in the volume of visceral fat – and at the same time improve the quality of life. Regular measurements of body volumes will tell you if everything is in order with this indicator.

Remember the values. The normal waist circumference for women is considered no more than 80 cm – and 94 cm for men.

Do you have a waist circumference greater or less than 80 cm?

Less than 80cm

Of course, everything also depends on the physique: after all, someone has a very pronounced waist, while someone has it almost imperceptible.

Experts believe that it is worth raising the alarm if a woman’s height exceeds 88 cm in the waist – and 102 cm in men. In such situations, the presence of visceral obesity is not excluded.

Well, have you ever managed to grab a centimeter tape and take measurements? To ease your worries, let’s end with the good news: visceral fat is the type of fat that is easier to reduce than others. Increase your activity and start eating more healthy foods, and you’ll soon notice that it’s your waistline that’s starting to shrink – and the “lifeline” of fat around it.
