Lose the Belly Fat

A new Harvard Medical School study of 50 premenopausal women suggests that excess belly fat can actually RAISE your risk of osteoporosis.  Extra weight was always thought to be a protector of your bones, well not anymore!  Researchers in the study measured both fat deposits (the amount of fat in women’s bones) and bone density.  What were the findings?
Women who carried fat on their hips had normal bone fat and bone density.  The ones with a little extra in the midsection had more bone marrow fat and lower bone density.  This puts those ladies at a higher risk for osteoporosis.  Doctors have known for a long time that extra belly fat can increase your risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.  The same inflammatory effect that can up your risk for those diseases can also be linked to a decrease in bone density.
