The secrets of fat cells and the evolutionary roots of women's tendency to gain weight

Adults produce more fat cells only in two situations:

One type is pregnancy, which is unique to women; the other is weight gain. Yes, weight gain.

It is indeed unpleasant; it activates fat cells, but they also seem to give...

We offer you a chance: only if your weight exceeds the normal standard by 60%,

Only when your body's fat cells begin to form does it mean that if you are at a normal weight...

It's 130 pounds. New fat cells won't start forming in your body until you weigh 208 pounds.

Once these cells are formed, they will stay with you for life.

Fat cells are naturally designed as energy reservoirs; every fat cell in our body stores energy.

One pound of fat can release 3,500 calories, and when our bodies lack carbohydrates...

When fat cells release energy from carbohydrates and proteins, they can release small amounts of fat.

It dissolves in the bloodstream, where a substance called lipoprotein lipase exists, which will...

Fat is broken down and transported to cells that need it.

Why do women carry genes for obesity?

Women are more prone to producing fat cells than men, and the reason for this can be traced back to prehistoric times.

The social role of women during that period. At that time, a woman's primary task was through childbirth.

This increased the population, and the men's primary job was to provide food for women and children to achieve this goal.

We can say that women perform better than men in their full-time jobs.

They often went hungry or full, because when the men went hunting, they would often go without food.

For days on end, often with little food left for them, the women could only rely on their internal organs...

Women use fat to prevent themselves and their unborn babies from starving. This is because women need fat for support.

They were able to get through pregnancy and breastfeeding, therefore the women's bodies-due to the conditions at the time-were protected.

The requirements for the material are that it must be easy to store fat.

"The growth of male fat cells is solely for the purpose of protecting a person-its male..."

The master-will not starve to death during famine. And the growth of fat cells in women is...

"Thinking of two lives-yourself and the fetus inside you," says San Francisco nutritionist Deborah.

Waterhouse said this. She once wrote a book called "Skill".

In her book, *Winning Over Women's Fat Cells*, she also says, "The more fat a woman can store, the better..."

The stronger the female population, the greater the chances of survival for individuals and humanity as a whole. In fact, also...

It is precisely because female fat cells have such a "reservoir capacity" that we can [resource/capacity] today.

Only then can this issue be discussed here.

Today, we no longer count days like women in prehistoric times.

Having gone without food for months, they are not as dependent on fat as some other groups.

However, our bodies may not have adapted to the new living conditions yet; this is true for women.

Women still have nearly 8% more body fat than men. At any given time, women will have more body fat than men.

Sexual activity generates an extra 120,000 calories, which are stored in the body as fat.

Compared to men, women face a greater challenge in dealing with fat.

**Women's Counseling**

Why is it that the excess fat on my thighs seems glued on, while my husband can lose his belly fat in just a few weeks?

Women have always been resentful of this unfair situation, although there are also...

Some men have thick thighs, and their waists and buttocks are covered in stubborn fat.

This phenomenon is more common among women. Men should even be condemned for it.

In the Stone Age, women often spent a long time in their dwellings.

The women waited for the men to return from the hunt and bring back food, and it was during this time that they...

The body's ability to store fat was enhanced; don't assume that women at that time also had this ability.

The pursuit of slimness and beauty, much like modern people, was quite unusual for women at that time.

These were extravagant and impractical demands; at that time, a woman's primary duty was to reproduce.

Although times have changed, women still find it difficult to get rid of those many [problems/conditions].

The remaining fat. Since we are naturally destined to easily store fat,

Naturally, we need to spend more effort and time to remove them. In fact...

In general, fat stored in the lower limbs is more abundant than fat stored in the upper limbs and abdomen.

It's harder to lose fat. This is because fat in the upper body is broken down more easily.

Belly fat is easy to gain and quick to lose. Once excess fat accumulates in the body...

Fat tends to be stored in the abdomen, but this area can be stored when the body is short of calories.

Fat will inevitably be consumed first.

Because men are more prone to accumulating excess fat in their abdomen, they...

If you really want to vent your frustrations to someone, then blame the ancient times.

Perhaps they were the "cave dwellers" of their time, having strayed from the right path during their development.

Professor of Nutrition at Northern Illinois University

Women gain weight during pregnancy to ensure they provide enough nutrition for the fetus.

Some of the weight gain during pregnancy and postpartum will manifest as increased uterine weight (the uterus becomes heavier).

The uterus will gain 2-24 ounces, the breasts will enlarge, and the blood volume in the body will increase.

Add about 4 pounds. In addition, women will gain 8-10 pounds of fat (mostly...)

(These are newly formed fat cells) and other fluids.

Dr. Joan Hilantano, Professor of Nutrition at the University of New Hampshire, Durham

It is said that pregnant women effectively store a large amount of fat because they need it.

Fat is used to ensure the nutritional supply for newborns for six months to a year after birth.

Women have less muscle mass than men. And one pound of muscle is more than the same amount of fat.

It burns 30-50 calories. Meanwhile, men have a faster metabolism because...

Men burn fat more easily than women.

The female hormone estrogen makes female fat cells almost...

Unaffected by dieting, but effective against fat cells in the hips, waist, and thighs.

This is especially true. Some theories suggest that estrogen in fat can promote storage.

Fat-producing enzymes become more active and increase. Waterhouse believes: "Estrogen is the female..."

The sexual body's best friend; it helps women maintain a pear-shaped figure and reproduce.

"The physiological function of estrogen." Scientific evidence has proven the promoting effect of estrogen on fat production:

When a man is injected with estrogen, his lower limbs will quickly gain weight, and this

It's very difficult to lose the weight you gain.

**Fat shapes a woman's body.**

Because women's lower limbs are more prone to storing fat, most of the fat in pregnant women is concentrated in the lower limbs.

This fat is concentrated in the thighs, hips, and waist. These areas contribute to a woman's pear-shaped figure.

-Thin shoulders, full hips.

On the other hand, other women and most men have most of their fat.

The fat is concentrated in the abdomen, giving them an apple-shaped figure. This is in contrast to the thighs and hips.

Unlike other types of fat, abdominal fat (also known as visceral fat) is a type of "hard" fat.

Fat doesn't feel soft and loose to the touch. Dr. Sirantano says, "Visceral fat..."

Often associated with conditions such as blood sugar disorders, adult-onset diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

It's related to diseases like heart disease.

While women with an "apple-shaped" body are more prone to these diseases, there are also women with a higher risk.

A significant advantage for pear-shaped women is that they lose weight more easily, particularly in the abdomen.

Fat in these areas metabolizes faster than fat in the hips and thighs. (Hilahuz University)

Dr. Jill Canare, professor of exercise physiology, said: "They are larger than the legs, hips..."

"Fat accumulates quickly, but it also dissipates easily." Normally, fat in the human body...

The swelling gradually decreases, starting with the breasts, then the abdomen, followed by the thighs, waist, and buttocks.

**Getting fatter or getting older-what awaits us?**

Graying hair, wrinkles, and weight gain seem to be signs of aging.

This is an inevitable result. Generally, every 10 years between the ages of 20 and 65...

Women tend to gain weight, but after age 65, their weight begins to naturally return to normal.

A decline is expected; for example, most women will gain 8 pounds between the ages of 24 and 34.

Between the ages of 34 and 44, weight will increase by about 6 pounds; between 44 and 54, weight will decrease.

I gained 2 pounds, and my weight remained relatively stable for the next 10 years before starting to gradually decrease.

We consulted Maria Singh, MD, PhD, about this issue.

Professor, the following is an analysis of when and why weight gain occurs.

**During the age of 24 to 34**

When we start taking on adult social responsibilities at age 25, our weight begins to increase.

The number has increased, partly because we've started to shoulder family responsibilities and participate in...

Due to work commitments, we no longer participate in outdoor sports activities, which we used to enjoy frequently.

We've overlooked the fact that we no longer have summer vacations; work keeps us glued to our chairs every day.

This is the primary reason we gain weight. Initially, fat begins to accumulate in the legs and waist.

Furthermore, we are also very likely to get pregnant between the ages of 25 and 30, which will cause us to produce more [products/feelings] in our legs and waist.

Fat. This is one of the few periods in a woman's life when new fat cells are produced.

The cells produced at this time will never disappear, which is why we are pregnant.

The reason why weight gained during pregnancy is difficult to lose.

**During the age of 34 to 44**

As we approach 45, our metabolism slows down.

Their weight will still increase, although at a slower rate. Over the past 15 years

In China, due to a lack of physical activity, our muscles have gradually atrophied.

It is an important energy-consuming organ in the human body, therefore, we consume less energy at this time.

**During the age range of 44 to 54**

At this time, we are entering menopause, and the hormones estrogen and progesterone...

Decreased ketone secretion further slows down our metabolism, which...

It will increase fat in our abdomen.

**Ages 54 to 64**

Weight gain slows down at this stage. This is because weight gain decreases with age.

When we are older, our appetite decreases, and naturally, we eat less.
