HAVING A BIG BOTTOM CAN BE GOOD FOR YOU

by

From the Daily Express: BIG-BOTTOMED women take heart. Scientists have found that having a generously-proportioned derriere could be good for you.

They have discovered that a larger bottom can help to protect against diabetes.

Researchers believe the type of fat that accumulates around the hips and bottom may offer some protection against developing the condition.

Fat found commonly around the lower areas, known as subcutaneous fat, or fat that collects under the skin, helps to improve the sensitivity of the hormone insulin.

Insulin is responsible for regulating blood sugar and therefore a big bottom might offer some protection against diabetes.

Scientists at Harvard Medical School in America said that fat which collects around the stomach can raise a person’s risk of diabetes and heart disease.

However, people with pear-shaped bodies, with fat deposits in the buttocks and hips, are less prone to these disorders.

Dr Ronald Kahn, who led the study, said that the research on mice had shown that not all fat was bad and could help to prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

The team is trying to find the substances produced in subcutaneous fat that provide the benefit because they could lead to the development of drugs.

The study is published in the journal Cell Metabolism.
