why a bigger butt is good for you

[Amby 490]

Having a bigger bum, hips and thighs can be good for your health, protecting against heart problems, according to scientists.

Carrying fat around the backside and thighs reduces the effect of harmful proteins which cause inflammation and artery clogging, they claim.

The researchers found that a larger rear is preferable to extra fat around the stomach which gives no such protection, reports the Daily Mail.

Gluteofemoral fat around the lower body is harder to break down than upper body fat around the stomach which is designed to be quickly generated and then easily metabolised.

But the breakdown of these fat cells releases a lot of pro-inflammatory cytokines which have been linked to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and diabetes.

Slower-burning hip fat also makes more of a hormone that protects the arteries and promotes better blood sugar control and fat burning.

Study leader Dr Konstantinos Manolopoulos, of Oxford University, said: "The fat around our thighs and hips is different to the fat we accumulate around our tummy.

"There is 'good' fat and 'bad' fat - just like there is good and bad cholesterol.

"The cells in lower body fat work differently from the cells in upper body fat - so it could be said that celebrities like J-Lo are better role models for women's health than supermodels who have much less lower body fat."

Future uses of the study could include deliberately increasing hip and bottom fat to reduce cardiovascular and metabolic problems.

A diet high in red meat tends to pack on the fat in the upper torso and stomach.
