Purchasing gold is also symbolic of luck, prosperity, abundance, and auspiciousness.
As a metal, gold is highly liquid and portable as an asset. The yellow metal benefits from diverse sources of demand as an investment, a reserve asset, an adornment, and a technology component. Although most Indian populace survives on a meagre income, they have always found a medium to buy gold.

A waist-to-hip ratio is a fantastic indicator of health and fitness. Metabolic syndrome refers to a combination of symptoms or conditions, including insulin resistance, prediabetes, abnormal cholesterol, high blood pressure, and even Type II diabetes. If you have a metabolic disorder, your chances of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and dementia are higher.
One of the biggest signs of metabolic disorder is having a waist that is bigger than your hip. This excess fat around the abdominal area is dangerous as it is metabolically active and may contribute to higher systemic inflammation. Chronic inflammation, in turn, is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative conditions, and cancer.
