Smoking create hormone imbalance

Sometimes, when you try to lose fats, you miss the most obvious things. Did you know that smoking creates an imbalance in women's hormone levels, which leads to changes in body shape?

There is a misconception that smokers are thinner than non-smokers. However, smoking actually affects the endocrinal system - the glands that secrete hormones - and changes your body shape, increasing the waist-to-hip ratio.

So, smokers can be pot-bellied with spindly legs. This is attributed to smoking upsetting the hormone levels. This, in turn, results in smokers storing fats in an abnormal way. So smokers tend to acquire an 'apple' shape.

When you stop smoking, your body can get back to normal and recover from the effects of smoking.You want to look young, you have to delay the process of aging. Smoking accelerates the process of aging.

Now you know, stay healthy. Stop smoking.
