Pot belly is a sign that you are at the risk of having cancer. Some cancers are not linked to fat and weight, but the researchers found the size of the waist was significantly tied to some cancers.
These are bowel, lower oesophagus, upper stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, womb, ovaries, kidneys and postmenopausal breasts.
The highest risk was found for bowel cancer, for which adding just 8 cm (3.1 inches) to the hips was linked to an increased risk of 15 per cent.
Body fat can change the levels of sex hormones, such as oestrogen and testosterone. It can also cause levels of
insulin to rise, and lead to inflammation that increases cancer.
Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing some cancers,
It’s important to maintain healthy weight to reduce risk of cancer.
