Expanding waistline and degenerative diseases

An expanding waistline translates to an increased risk of degenerative lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

IN my younger days, jeans were meant to look rugged, and fitted snugly. In the past decade, the fashion vogue was the hipster, with the waistline very much below the waist. That was the voice of the Y generation, boldly depicting the “y” cleft at the posterior. Some of us young-at-heart baby boomers wore these droopy pants with unflattering results. These pants created the “muffin top” as flabby tummies overflowed its edges.
