如果女人腰围超过34英寸(88厘米),男人超过40英寸(102厘米),患病风险会大幅提升。

重度肥胖和相应的腰围常导致糖尿病,会使我们产生疲劳、多尿和多饮等问题,长期患病就会影响视力、血液循环和寿命。
Regular exercise and a good diet can keep this in check but talk to your doctor about a test for Type-2 diabetes.
定期锻炼和好的饮食习惯能控制糖尿病,但要咨询一下你的医生是否需要做2型糖尿病检查。
2. Yellow spots around your eyes and or your elbows
眼睛或肘部周围有黄斑
这被称为黄斑瘤,源于皮下脂肪沉淀,这是胆固醇水平上升的症状。
通常在空腹时验血能知道是否有此类问题。饮食干预和锻炼有助于缓解病症。
We get concerned about cholesterol because it can be a risk factor for developing problems with the heart or brain such as a heart attack or a stroke respectively.

眼睛周围有黑眼圈
Though not getting enough sleep can contribute to this, dark circles could also be due to allergies and frequently itching the eyes or rubbing the nose.
