Good News for Big Bottoms!

If you’re one of the many people who have a little junk in the trunk, you could be luckier than you think! Yahoo News is reporting that a study done by U.S. researchers found that a type of fat that accumulates around the hips and bottom may actually offer some protection against diabetes.

The researchers discovered that subcutaneous fat, or fat that collects under the skin, helped to improve sensitivity to the hormone insulin, which regulates your blood sugar. Mice that got transplants of this type of fat deep into their abdomens lost weight and their fat cells shrank, even though they made no changes in their diet or activity levels. Researchers said it was a “surprising result” and that it’s an area where they would be doing more studies.
