A woman will catch various diseases because of the cold. If her belly catches cold, she will get old much faster than ever.

 A Japanese study shows that if the temperature of a woman's belly decreases by 1℃, metabolism process will slow down by 12%. So, it is true that belly is where a woman begins to get old. Menstruation, giving birth and some other physiological factors make things even worse. women look 3 to 5 years older than men of her age.
