Men…let’s stop glorifying and glamourising the dad bod.
The term "dad bod" typically refers to a body shape that is somewhat round and soft around the middle...
...often a result of a combination of factors such as a less active lifestyle, age, and busy family responsibilities.
However...Iit does come with some added health risks.
✨ Extra body fat, especially around the abdomen, is often associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
✨ Higher levels of body fat can contribute to insulin resistance, leading to Type-2 diabetes.
✨ Additional weight can put more stress on joints, potentially leading to issues like osteoarthritis.
✨ Being overweight can sometimes lead to breathing problems, like sleep apnea.
✨ Sometimes, body image concerns can impact self-esteem and mental well-being.
Remember, it's important to embrace and be kind to oneself through the journey of health and fitness.
And that is why I provide a space for men to be men. To talk, to hash out, to be you.
