However, associated with large abdominal area, for women, cancer in women who do not exercise very little exercise. The study defined this little thirty minutes a day. Women who have more than _khasorhen the vicinity of 44 - or 16 scale U.S. - are more likely to haveinfection by 83% for those who enjoy the surroundings are less physically active for more than ninety minutes a day.


She adds that studies Hgz link between obesity in the abdominal area other healthconditions such as diabetes, heart and abdominal fat appears to be closely linked tochronic infections the body low level.
