Apples & Pears

Apples & Pears Are All The Same To Your Heart
It was previously widely believed that those with a pear-shaped figure were less at risk for developing heart disease when compared to those with an apple-shaped figure. However, a new study has found that the shape of one's body does not have any impact on their risk for heart disease. Rather, the risk for heart disease is based on one's BMI (body mass index) and specifically having a body mass index of 30 or more, regardless of one's body shape. BMI is determined by dividing one's weight in kilograms by one's height in meters squared. The 10-year long study was based on 220,000 people and involved almost 200 scientists from 17 different countries.
