Typically, unsightly-looking fat folds on a person's belly can be helpful or even life-saving. This conclusion was reached by American experts representing the University of Chicago, based on their own research on the properties of adipose tissue and the relationship between common diseases and obesity.
The lion's share of all existing scientifically proven medical methods of dealing with obesity are called "abdominal obesity" the most dangerous for human health. For many years, experts have not questioned the theory that people with fat deposits in the legs and buttocks are more resistant to the threats of the effects of obesity than those who have accumulations around the internal organs.
Many cases show exactly the opposite result. So, patients with fatty deposits at the waist, according to scientists, have a lower risk of being susceptible to diseases of the cardiovascular system and diabetes. The researchers say this is clearly visible in the results of their experiments. For example, American experts have found that fatty deposits lead to more active resistance of the body to infections and contribute to the speedy healing of damaged tissues.
Scientists argue that their discovery can show new capabilities of the human body in the fight against autoimmune diseases. We are talking about Crohn's disease and lupus. In addition, doctors say that sometimes this knowledge can save a person from the need for organ transplantation.
At the same time, fat accumulations can be useful only in certain situations and often, if available in large quantities, still deliver people both a lot of physical inconvenience and health problems.
