Middle-age spread is a condition in which a person tends to gain weight around the middle area as they age. This not only affects one's physical appearance but also poses several health risks. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe this condition such as midriff bulge, muffin top, love handles, spare tire, beer belly, and potbelly. All these terms are used interchangeably to describe the same problem. A combination of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper sleep can help prevent and reduce middle-age spread. It is crucial to maintain a healthy weight to avoid the risks associated with this condition.
