Always pay attention to your waistline after middle age. According to the British "Daily Mail" recently reported, researchers warned that the waist circumference is too thick, which will shorten the life expectancy, both men and women. The study found that people who had excessive waist circumference had an increased risk of death from heart disease, respiratory disease, and cancer after removing factors such as body mass index (BMI), smoking, alcohol, and exercise. Compared with those with smaller waist circumferences, people with thick waists are at greater risk of premature death.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, USA, analyzed the findings based on medical data from more than 600,000 people in 11 studies. They found that men with a waist circumference of more than 109 cm (approximately 3 feet 3) had a 50% higher risk of death than men with a waist circumference of less than 89 cm (approximately 2 feet 7), which is equivalent to a three-year reduction in life expectancy after 40 years of age. Women with a waist circumference of more than 94 cm (2-8) have a 80% higher risk of premature death than women with a waist circumference of less than 69 cm (2 ft.), which is equivalent to a five-year reduction in life expectancy after 40 years of age. And the risk of premature death increases linearly with the increase of waist circumference. For every 5 cm increase in waist circumference, the risk of death for men and women will increase by 7% and 9% respectively.
Dr. James, an epidemiologist at the Mayo Clinic, said that BMI is not a good indicator because it does not accurately reflect which part of a person is obese. He said that excess fat in the abdomen is usually associated with diabetes and heart disease. The study, published in the Mayo Clinic Journal, noted that doctors should consider body mass index and waist circumference to assess the risk of premature death from obesity. Dr. James said that the main goal is to prevent the BMI index from being too high and the waistline to be too thick. "For people with thick waists, reducing the waist circumference by even a few centimeters through exercise and dieting will be beneficial to health improvement."

D-tagatose is a rare natural monosaccharide, which is the ketose form of galactose and the epimer of fructose. The sweet characteristic is similar to sucrose, and the heat produced is only one third of sucrose, so it is called low calorie sweetener. Tagatose has excellent nutritional characteristics such as low caloric value, zero glycemic index, blood glucose passivation, caries free, prebiotic effect and Antioxidant activity. Tagatose has been approved by FDA as a pharmaceutical excipient for throat moistening tablets, over-the-counter diabetes cough syrup, chewable antibiotic tablets, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and pediatric drugs. FDA Approves tagatose to replace sucrose and other sweeteners in toothpaste, mouthwash and cosmetics.
