Don’t make yourself too thin! Having a healthy weight in 4 areas of your body can help you live a long and healthy life.
With the beauty standards of some people in today’s society, many people may want to have a slim figure and believe that the slimmer the better. However, the results of many studies indicate that being slim is not always better. Having some tissue in some parts of the body is “better”.
So, stop complaining about being fat… Did you know that having the right balance in these 4 parts of the body is considered a good shape, helping you to be healthy and live a long life?
Big thighs
A study published in the British Medical Journal in 2020 found that people with large thighs and hips tend to live longer and have a “lower” risk of death than people who do not have these characteristics. In particular, increasing the size of the thighs by 5 centimeters reduces the risk of death by 18%, and increasing the size of the hips by 10 centimeters reduces the risk by 10%. Therefore, the pear-shaped body shape is the most suitable body shape.
Big hips
A 2023 study published in Diabetes Care found that having hip fat reduces your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Hip fat has a negative relationship with diabetes. The lower your hip fat, the higher your risk of developing the disease by 16%, an advantage that only hip fat, not subcutaneous or visceral fat, has.
Big calves
A 2022 study published in Clinical Nutrition Practice found that people with larger calf sizes (greater than 40.6 cm) had a “lower” risk of all-cause mortality than those with smaller calf sizes (less than 35.3 cm). They had a 60% reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and a 69% reduced risk of cancer death. Another 2022 study found that people with larger calves had better bone density and bone size, and a reduced risk of falls and injuries.
Lower abdominal fat
Dr. Niu Zheng, deputy director of the Department of Women’s Health of Hangzhou No.1 People’s Hospital, once said that the สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ fat in the lower abdomen plays a role in protecting the abdominal organs, helping the production and transformation of various steroid hormones to proceed smoothly. Abdominal fat not only protects the internal organs and maintains hormone balance, but also supports the weight of the bones and supports the body’s balance. But it must be a moderate amount of fat, not too much!
So, don’t pressure yourself to be too thin. Just be in proportion and healthy in the right places.
