New Guidance Says Your Waist Should Be Less Than Half Your Height to Avoid Health Problems

New guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is recommending that your waist measurement should be less than half your height.

If your waist measurement is more than half your height it increases the risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.

Knowing you need to reduce your waist circumference is a lot easier than actually doing it. For best results, you’ll need to reduce your overall body fat percentage. Here are some ideas.

Track your food intake and avoid snacks.
Drink more water.
Exercise at least 30 minutes, three times a week.
Eat more protein and fibre.
Reduce your added sugar intake.
Get more sleep.
Reduce your stress.

Set daily goals and over time you’ll see results.
