I read a book that said the reason we store fat around our middle more easily after 40 is because the fat cells in the abdominal area produce oestrogen (or store it or something). So as our oestrogen level drops, the fat cells multiply to help keep our levels up.
So it's nature being kind to us. But nature clearly doesn't understand about the tyranny of a bedlah!
