Ladies, See What Your Body Shape Says About Your Health: Check out what Banana Says
Banana, apple, pear and hourglass are the 4 main body shapes known to most people when describing women’s body shapes.
Well, this is what women’s body shapes look like;
1 Banana
The banana or rectangle body shape means that your shoulders, waist, and hip line around the same size. However, it also means that your body shape looks athletic.
Most of these people are slender and difficult to gain weight. Thin people can increase their health risks by thinking they may never look fat. The truth is that your body fat percentage has increased without you realizing it. This then puts you at risk for diabetes and other similar conditions.
Underweight people in this category are also at risk for certain health conditions such as menstruation, depression, and malnutrition.
2 Apple
With apple or inverted triangle body shapes, it means that their shoulders and hips are about the same size. This means that they have a less defined waistline. However, apple body shapes are also known for their shaped arms and legs and often have a very feminine bust.
Apples carry extra weight around the waist. This is where a dangerous type of fat often accumulates. It is called visceral fat and it penetrates deep under the skin. It builds up around the organs, damaging them over time. The result is a higher risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers like colon and uterine cancer.
On the other hand, visceral fat is the easiest type to get rid of with diet and exercise. Thus, “apples” often lose weight faster than other body shapes.
3 Pear
Having a “pear” or triangular body shape means that the hips are wider than the shoulders and waist. This body shape has narrow shoulders with a smaller bust and a well-defined waist. Usually, their lower body is wider than their upper body. Finally, they are also known for their feminine hips and tiny waist.
However, “pears” have a harder time losing weight. This is because “pears” store the most excess fat in the lower half of their body. This stubborn fat is commonly called “passive fat.” It is not as dangerous as visceral fat, because “passive fat” puts extra stress on the legs. This can increase the risk of varicose veins, degenerative diseases of the knee and leg joints. Pears have a lower risk of the diseases that “apples” often face
4 Hourglass
The hourglass shape means that your shoulders and hips are really the same size. But your waist is smaller. You probably have a well-defined, narrow waist that looks sexy.
These people tend to carry extra weight everywhere. This includes visceral fat around the midsection. Therefore, they are at risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
