"If you are overweight, you are more likely to have heart disease. Extra weight can raise blood pressure and blood cholesterol and lead to diabetes. It matters where your body stores its excess fat. People who carry most of their fat around their stomachs have a higher risk of having heart disease and diabetes than those who carry it around their hips"-- p. [2].
