A recent study predicts that a potbelly in middle age will more than triple your risk of senility later. This large study pinpoints a new link between obesity and Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Researchers found that obese people who carried most of their weight in the abdominal area in their 40’s were 3.6 times more likely to develop dementia and even more shocking was that people who are just over weight with large tummies were 2.3 times more likely to be at risk for forms of senility later. With moderate exercise you can reduce belly fat and a healthier lifestyle can reap big benefits later.
