Discussion About the Following Three Types continued
* Mesomorph - muscular, wtih strong bones, well-developed muscles and heart.
* Endomorph - fat with broad hips, large stomach and buttocks.
* Ectomorph - tall, thin, fragile.
Most of us are difficult to categorize because we are a mixture of types. But your hand can give the needed clues:
If you are a mesomorph, you have a strong muscular hand with fingers and palm of about equal length. The index finger will be long, perhaps even longer than the ring finger. Mesomorphs are hard-driving and competitive and get so involved in their work that they have no time for exercise or for relaxation except on social occasions that involve eating and drinking. Men who have heart attacks before they're 40 are often mesomorphs.
Healthy outdoor exercise like tennis or biking can be life-saving for this type Dr. Scheimann says, "not only as a way of keeping weight down, but also because this body type needs action when upset. Mesopmorphs release tension better through physical activity than by sitting, reading or watching TV." The Three Types Explained |
