What is another word for middle-age spreads?
Pronunciation: [mˈɪdə͡lˈe͡ɪd͡ʒ spɹˈɛdz] (IPA) 
When it comes to the unfortunate phenomenon of gaining weight around the middle as we age, there are plenty of synonyms to choose from. Some refer to the physical location of the extra pounds, such as abdominal fat, muffin top, spare tire, or beer belly. Others use more euphemistic terms, like love handles, mid-life spread, or dad bod. Regardless of the name, getting older often means a slower metabolism and hormonal changes, which can lead to weight gain. While exercise and a healthy diet can help combat middle-age spreads, there is no shame in embracing your curves and feeling confident in your own skin.
