Basically, all women striving to achieve a stick-thin figure can now stop torturing themselves with all kinds of diets and workout regimes. There is a new study has revealed, as reported by Fox news, that women with a pear-shaped figure, the likes of which singers Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce have made famous, are healthier than those with a more slender frame.
This new study states that the fat responsible for the pear-shape figure can have a positive influence in the prevention of certain diseases, because it releases certain hormones that lower their chances of being developed. For instance, researchers found that buttock and hip fat protects women against type 2 diabetes. The same goes for heart diseases; with women with this type of figure being considerably less prone to developing either condition than those with an apple figure, where fat is stored around the tummy. Researcher stresses that not all fat is bad for the health.
Moreover, surprising thing was that it wasn’t where the fat was located. It was the kind of fat that was the most important variable. Even more surprising, it wasn’t that abdominal fat was exerting negative effects, but that subcutaneous fat was producing a good effect. In light of the former research, perhaps some reconsidering should be in order.
