Accumulation and amassing of unnecessary fat in the abdominal region of the body is considered a sign of cardiovascular disease.
The key reasons for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are lack of exercise and unchecked eating. CVD is one of the main impediments in maintaining health of common people and is a major cause of mortality in USA (Fox. AA et al., 1996).
Lipids are organic substances present in all living organisms. They possess mostly carbon hydrogen bonds and are commonly called fats. They are a rich source of energy and an efficient way for storing excess calories.
