Waistline Measurement
Your Waistline measurement:
More Than Just a Number
Why Do Waistline Measurement Matter
So here I was—5’10” tall, my waistline measuring 44 inches,
my weight hitting 265 pounds, and in bad shape.
Naturally, I went to see my doctor.
To my shock, my sugar and cholesterol were off the charts.
Your waistline isn’t just about looks—it’s a key health indicator. Excess belly fat, especially gray fat (visceral fat), surrounds vital organs like your liver, kidneys, and heart. This hidden fat can lead to serious health risks, including
- Type 2 diabetes – Fat blocks insulin, raising blood sugar levels.
- Heart disease – Increased strain on the heart and arteries.
- Metabolic disorders – Disrupts normal body functions.
Know your numbers
WebMD recommends the following waist line circumference guidelines:
- Men: Keep your waist below 38 inches
- Women: Aim for 35 inches or fewer (1)
- If your waistline measure is above these limits, it’s time to take action!
How to Measure Your Waistline correctly :
- Use a soft measuring tape (like those used in sewing).
- Stand straight and relax your stomach.
- Find the midpoint between your rib cage and hip bone.
- Wrap the tape around your waist, keeping it flat and parallel to the floor.
- Breathe out gently and take the measurement at the end of your exhale.
- Repeat three times for accuracy.
