Is fat around
the thighs and around the backside healthy? It's an interesting
study. It's in the journal Nature; The International Journal
of Obesity, and it was done in the United Kingdom. The review
finds that fat around your hind can reduce the harmful effects of inflammation
leading to protection against disease. This fat takes longer to build
and to break down than upper body fat. The breakdown of abdominal
fat releases factors linked to heart disease and diabetes. The authors
envision a future where doctors might deliberately increase lower body fat to
protect against disease. It's a little dramatic, but what it really tells
us is that certain people are going to have fat in different areas. But
if you're someone who carries a little extra weight in your thighs and
buttocks, it may not be that unhealthy.
