Being overweight and the Excess storage of fat is associated with many different chronic diseases. Findings and studies show that some areas of fat storage in the body are worse than others.

Women have more body fat percentages than men, so women carry more fat around the legs, hips, and buttocks, as well as the chest and upper arms. Most women have more subcutaneous fat – that is the fat you can pinch under your skin and men have more visceral fat. This is the fat that is stored in and around the abdominal organs.

 The fat that is stored around the butt and thigh (gluteal femoral) regions carries a lower risk of leading to chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, than the fat stored around the middle(belly).

Just try to lose fat, anywhere is the slogan

A recent weight-loss study advised that Total loss of fat mass, through a healthy diet and exercise, is the best outcome for overall health and also helps in reducing either the symptoms of chronic disease (such as diabetes) or the risk of developing disease such as diabetes or heart disease.
