How to determine a woman's body shape
If you are still confused about determining your body category, try doing the following:
Retreat a few steps from the mirror, and observe your overall body shape. Do this when naked. Because, wearing underwear can cover your original body. For example, wearing underwear models boy shorts can suppress the shape of the hips and make your butt look fuller.
Now, focus on the shape of your torso. The shape of the torso is what you see from along your ribs until it drops to the waist. This is what will determine your overall body shape.
Distinguish various types and types of female body shapes
Many categorize the body into several types such as hourglass, triangles, apples, and pears. The shape of an hourglass (big chest, small waist, and big hip) is considered an ideal body shape for women. Not surprisingly, from the beauty industries trying to find a woman who has an hourglass shape.
But unfortunately an hourglass shaped body is not realistic. In the medical world, there are two body forms which have been investigated further regarding their relation to health, namely the shape of apples and pear shapes.
1. Apple shape
Your appearance is rounded from the top of the buttocks to the chest, but the legs tend to be thinner. Your waist curve is less visible or even invisible, because the waist tends to be straight almost parallel to the width of the hip. The size of the chest circumference, waist circumference, and hip circumference are usually almost the same.
Its effects on health:Owners of apple body shapes tend to have a thick upper body (chest, arms, abdomen), while the lower part (buttocks and legs) tend to be small. This buildup of fat in the middle part of your body increases your risk of various diseases such as diabetes, heart and blood vessel disease, strokes, etc., if you let your stomach continue to bulge. Therefore, make sure you always maintain your diet and live a healthy and active lifestyle to avoid this risk.
2. Pear shape
You have a small waist, but wide hips. Your hip circumference is wider than chest circumference and even shoulder circumference. Even though it looks slim on the top of the body (chest and arms), your thighs and buttocks usually look round and dense, and every weight increases, which looks fatter usually is the lower part of the body. You may have short / solid / or muscular legs.
Its effects on health:Just like the owner of an apple body shape, women who have a pear body shape are at high risk of developing various types of illness later on if they don't try to control their weight. Sthe latest studies show that fat stored in the thighs can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome.
