Deadly Thighs
If you have a bit of junk in the trunk (belly fat), don't worry — that lower body fat might help protect you from metabolic disease, Oxford University researchers found, because fat in the thighs and buttocks may have a protective effect. A Danish study even found that people with thin thighs have a greater risk of premature death. Maybe it's better to have "thunder thighs" then thin "deadly thighs"!
