Why Fat Thighs Are Not as Bad as a Fat Abdomen

[ArkRescue]

ScienceDaily (Oct. 4, 2010) — Using ice cream, candy bars and energy drinks to help volunteers gain weight, Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered the mechanisms of how body fat grows. Increased abdominal fat seems to heighten risk for metabolic disease, while fat expansion in the lower body -- as in the thighs -- seems to lower the risk. The findings, appearing in the October 4 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), help explain why.

Speaking of, I happened to see a guy on TV cooking on one of those healthy eating shows, and saw him hammering out a chicken breast to make it flatter, then he used lime juice and a few spices then grilled it Mmmmmmm. I wanted to grab that chicken breast off the TV screen and eat it. Now I'll have to make that.
