This waist to hip calculator determines your health risk.People with more weight around their waist are at greater risk of heart disease,diabetes type 2, high blood pressure and stroke than those with weight around their hips. With this calculator you can easily know about your health in seconds.
HOW TO CALCULATE?
Measure your hip circumference at it's widest part, while standing straight.
Measure your waist circumference at the belly button (narrower part) with a relaxed stomach.
People with more weight around the waist, face more health risks than people who carry more weight around their hips.
Most interesting thing about this is that you can know your body shape form this calculation.It's not the weight ,what matter's is the shape of the body.Most important is where fat is deposited in your body.

KNOW YOUR BODY SHAPE
Done with your calculation? Now, time to know the shape of your body.
If (WHR >= 1), your body is said to be apple shaped -- meaning that you tend to store most of your body fat on your waist
If (WHR < 1), your body is said to be pear shaped -- meaning that you tend to store most of your body fat on your hips and buttocks.
In simple terms you can say people who stores fat in their bellies are called APPLES and those who store in hips are called PEARS

People with apple shaped bodies can have a 2 to 4 times greater risk for heart disease than those with pear shaped bodies.People with apple shaped bodies typically lose weight proportionately, whereas people with pear shaped bodies tend to lose weight only in their upper bodies.
Avocado's have no risk, needless to mention.So,what's your WHC???
