Carrying more fat on legs compared with the stomach protects postmenopausal women from heart disease, a study says.
They were all taking part in a major US study, the Women's Health Initiative, which began in the mid-1990s, and had regular scans to check fat, muscle and bone density. "Our study participants were all women with normal weight. So this message is very important: even for women with a healthy body weight, 'apple shape' or 'pear shape' still matters," he said.Prof Qi says it is all about trying to reduce belly fat, so the ratio of belly to leg fat is better.
Nobody knows how to get rid of (or add) fat to just one place. Anyone who could tell people how to do this proveably and reliably with decent results would become a multi millionaire in a very short space of time
This article and the alleged experts/scientists quoted in it is utter drivel and harmful for menopausal women. When did the BBC become so irresponsible?
Truly pissed of by this nauseating deluge of conflicting and confusing 'research' results and counsel. And I'm a doctor!
It's just Life we all haven't become robots just yet theres a Few Humans on the planet ❤❤😌😌🙏🙏🙏
