Why do women carry their Junk in their Trunk
Have you noticed that it seems to be harder for a woman to lose fat than it is for a man?
Not only do women find it harder, but the first place they lose weight from is the face and chest, while the last place they lose it seems to be the hips and thighs… Further proof that God is a man”right ladies”!
Men tend to carry fat around the belly (apple shape) or commonly referred to as “the awning over the cookie shop”, Women however seem to carry it around the hips and thighs (pear shape).
The reason for this is physiologically we are designed as hunters and gatherers and the fat cells in men are larger and more metabolically active. This means they release fat into the bloodstream easily to provide energy for the hunting and gathering.
The fat carried around the belly is like the spare pack of sandwiches and 20 large pizzas that they take with them on a fishing trip. The problem is men of today are carrying around a full buffet!!
Because this abdominal fat is easily released into the blood stream and may not be burnt off during hunting or exercising, it is left floating around the blood vessels clogging up the arteries. Men suffer twice the mortality rate from coronary heart disease than pre-menopausal woman.
Women do catch up after menopause as lower levels of oestrogen no longer play a protective role and fat is redistributed around the belly.
