A recent study suggests that having a lot of fat around the belly and arms could increase your risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
However, the study also found that having strong muscles can lower the risk of these diseases.
Researchers followed over 400,000 people for almost a decade, and found that those with excess arm or belly fat were more likely to develop these conditions.
The study highlights the importance of maintaining healthy body composition and building muscle strength to potentially reduce the risk of these debilitating diseases.
