Health: Of Apple and Pear

I am 32 going on 33...

No, I'm not growing vertically in age but horizontally in waist!

So, I have to do away with most, if not all, my size 32 pants.

Ah well, I hope to shed some kilos off my middle kingdom but just too lazy to do sit-ups.

I do walk 3 minutes to work nonetheless and take the stairs to my sixth-floor office on weekdays.

In The Star Online yesterday, its 'Health' talked about 'Targeting abdominal fat'.

A paragraph read:

It was first suggested in 1947 by the French physician, Jean Vague, that cardiovascular and metabolic risk is more closely related to “android” obesity (abdominal obesity or “apple-shaped”) than to “gynoid” obesity (lower body obesity or “pear-shaped”).

Mine is certainly an apple!
