A study from Oxford University examined data from more than<\/p>\n
16,000 women and found that fat stored in the hips and buttocks may be linked to certain health benefits.<\/p>\n
Researchers reported that this type of fat, unlike abdominal fat, can support heart and metabolic health.<\/p>\n
According to the study, gluteal and thigh fat contains omega-3 fatty acids that benefit the heart and brain,<\/p>\n
help lower bad cholesterol, and improve blood sugar control.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe accumulation of fat in the hips and buttocks can bring<\/p>\n
important benefits to health and cognitive development,\u201d the researchers concluded.<\/p>\n
Lead author Dr. Konstantinos Manolopoulos said,<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen with a higher proportion of gluteal fat tend to have a more favorable metabolic profile,<\/p>\n
with a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, or high cholesterol.\u201d<\/p>\n
The findings highlight how fat distribution, rather than body size alone, can influence health outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
