Carrying extra weight on your hips, bum and thighs is good for your health, protecting against heart and metabolic problems, UK experts have said.

臀部和大腿肥肉太多吗？英国的专家说这可是好事哦，可以预防心脏和代谢的问题呢。

Hip fat mops up harmful fatty acids and contains an anti-inflammatory agent that stops arteries clogging, they say. Big behinds are preferable to extra fat around the waistline, which gives no such protection, the Oxford team said.

牛津大学的研究组说，臀部脂肪可以中和有害的脂肪酸，而且还包含着防止动脉堵塞的xx症素。臀部的吨位大可比肥腰好多了，腰部肥肉没有这样的保健功能。

Science could look to deliberately increase hip fat, they told the International Journal of Obesity. And in the future, doctors might prescribe ways to redistribute body fat to the hips to protect against cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

科学家们告诉国际肥胖期刊，可以研究出刻意增加臀部肥肉的技术。将来医生们可能可以通过某种疗法，将脂肪移至臀部，以避免心血管病，和糖尿病这样的代谢疾病。

The researchers said having too little fat around the hips can lead to serious metabolic problems, as occurs in Cushing’s syndrome.

研究人员同时表示，而太少的臀部脂肪可能会导致严重的代谢问题，柯兴氏综合症就是一种表现。

Evidence shows that fat around the thighs and backside is harder to shift than fat around the waist. Although this may sound undesirable, it is actually beneficial because when fat is broken down quickly it releases a lot of cytokines which trigger inflammation in the body, say experts. These cytokines have been linked to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and diabetes.

证据显示，大腿部位以及臀部的脂肪，比腰部的更难转移。听起来好像不怎么健康，但其实这些肥肉很有必要。因为当他们被破坏时，这些肥肉会释放出大量细胞因子，导致身体内部炎症，而这些炎症则很有可能引发心血管疾病、胰岛素抗体和糖尿病。
