In this video, we break down a major new study revealing how body shape matters more than weight, and why being apple-shaped could be riskier than being pear-shaped. Plus, discover how hormones like oestrogen may offer surprising protection, and whether drugs like Ozempic could slow down heart ageing.

00:00Think you're safe because you're slim?
00:02Hidden fat might be aging your heart faster than you think.
00:05A major study just uncovered a shocking truth.
00:08Even slim people can have deadly fat wrapped around their organs.
00:12It's called visceral fat, and it's invisible from the outside.
00:15Unlike the fat you can pinch.
00:17Visceral fat hides deep inside, around your liver, stomach, and intestines.
00:23And it silently ages your heart and blood vessels.
00:26Researchers studied over 21,000 people using AI and full body scans.
00:31And they discovered this hidden fat triggers inflammation, accelerating aging and disease.
00:36What's more surprising?
00:38Your body shape may matter more than your weight.
00:40Men with belly fat, apple-shaped, had older hearts.
00:44But women with fat around the hips and thighs, pear-shaped, showed signs of protection.
00:49Turns out, not all fat is bad.
00:52Lower body fat and estrogen may actually help shield your heart from aging.
00:56So even if you're fit or slim, it's not just about how much fat you have, but where it hides.
01:02And while new drugs like Ozempic may help fight visceral fat,
01:05simple steps like a healthier diet and regular activity still remain key.
01:10Think your heart's younger than you?
01:12A free online test could reveal its true age.
