Excess calories are stored in the form of fat in the body. If this fat gets accumulated in too much quantity then it can also lead to diabetes. Not only this, but due to the increase of this fat, your risk of kidney damage, stroke, and heart disease also increase. Assistant Professor of Nutrition Science, King's College London, Dr Sarah Berry told The Telegraph in an interview that some types of body fat can increase the risk of serious conditions. The accumulation of visceral fat increases the production of harmful chemicals in the body, which can lead to diseases like inflammation, and type 2 diabetes. Many people are troubled by the accumulated fat in their body parts. So let's know in which part the fat deposited proves beneficial and dangerous for you.
Hips
According to a report in The Sun, fat stored on the hips is considered good for health. But the fat should not increase so much that it starts pressing the muscles. Experts from the Florida Hospital Sanford-Burnham Translational Research Institute for Metabolism and Diabetes examined hip fat. According to lead researcher Dr Steven Smith, fat accumulation in the hips may reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Women who get heart attacks have more fat in their tummy area.
Breast fat
Experts say that increasing the size of breasts in women can increase the risk of many diseases. A 2008 study found that 20-year-old girls with larger breasts had a higher risk of developing diabetes over the next 10 years. In 2012, scientists found that larger breasts did not pose a risk, but increased the risk of visceral fat accumulation. Experts believe that women with large breasts are at risk of developing breast cancer regardless of age, pregnancy, breastfeeding and genetic history. According to a study published in BMV Medical Genetics, the reason for breast enlargement was genetics.
Belly fat
Visceral fat increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer. It can also increase the risk of diseases like depression, dementia and diabetes. Visceral fat accumulates mainly in the area around the abdomen and lowers back. Due to this fat, the size of the stomach increases significantly. Women whose waist size is bigger than their hips have a higher risk of a heart attack. Researchers at the University of Oxford found that women with larger waist size and larger waist size than their hips had a 10-20 per cent higher risk of heart attack.
