One of the biggest pains of women is to have wide hips, because they are usually a symptom of greater accumulated fat, so they always look for ways to reduce them; However, having both wide hips and large buttocks could actually be beneficial for health.

According to researchers from the University of Oxford and Churchill Hospital, in the United Kingdom , having wide hips not only shows greater intellectual capacity or intelligence, but also they are also more resistant to develop chronic diseases.

Greater fat pains the heart

In this regard, the scientists explain that having wide hips, or a greater accumulation of fats in the hips, buttocks and thighs, tend to have lower levels of bad cholesterol, as well as a better production of hormones that help metabolize sugar.

In this sense, "women with wide hips are less likely to develop chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease," explains scientist Konstantinos Manolopoulos, lead author of the research .

Big hips and buttocks favor leptin levels in the female body, which is a hormone responsible for regulating weight, and dinopectin, a hormone with anti-inflammatory and vascular-protective properties.

For its part, the Dr. Michael Jensen, director of endocrine research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota He details that "if you look at people who are mainly pear-shaped, they are healthy in all the ways that this fat behaves, it's not just they have less heart attacks or less diabetes, which suggests that this type of fat is important for our health, beyond just thinking of being overweight. "

Presenting wide hips and large buttocks implies a greater accumulation of fat, but not any type of fat, but especially an excess of omega 3 fat, which has been shown to provide great benefits, mainly to the brain and against aging.
