“This is called the wrong way to go about things.”

Washington – If you thought good health and falling within normal weight range would be the major combat against cardiovascular disease, think again. A new study shows that even a few inches on the waste increases the plaque build up causing a higher shot of getting some good ol’ heart problems. James A. De Lemos, M.D., F.A.C.C., a professor of medicine and director of the Coronary Care Unit at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre had this to say:

In our thirties and forties, we often gain three to four inches in the midsection. It’s a day-to-day, meal-to-meal battle, but it’s worth fighting. Even a small pot belly puts us at higher risk when compared to a flat tummy.

And here I thought I was in good shape by enjoying a healthy diet of making fun of fat people with my little gut. All it takes for the heart to give up is just a little fat and the only way to prevent that means having a six-pack around at all times and taking care of yourself all the time. Well, pass the bottle opener, because I’m going to welcome this bitch with a cold one.

i’m: screwed!
