What your butt reveal about your health
The buttocks are the subject of attention: sport, adapted exercises, specific creams, diet … But do you know that the shape of your butt and your posture speak volumes about your health? Here are some explanations to see more clearly.
A study published in the International Journal of Obesity in 2010, conducted by a University team of researchers from Oxford, found a strong link between the shape of the buttocks in women and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes .
They are based on the assumption that the overall distribution of fat in the body is a good indicator of health, and that all fats are not distributed in the body in the same way. For example, excess fat bust level can be harmful to health because of its proximity to the heart, thereby increasing the risk of heart attack.
But women can rest assured: a slight overweight in the buttocks is considered a sign of good health! Indeed, localized fat in the lower body (hips, thighs, buttocks) allows imprison fatty acids and protects the body from certain health problems. In an article published in the journal LiveScience, Dr. Konstantinos Manolopoulos says that “if the fatty acids are not stored in fat but in other organs like the liver or arteries, it makes the body vulnerable to diabetes and heart disease “.
As for men, they do not enjoy the same protection from their buttocks! The laws of nature are unfair … Indeed, women are genetically predisposed to store more fat in the lower body than men. According to Dr Manolopoulos, good news for women is that female hormones help protect themselves against cardiovascular disease.
However, Manopoulos continues, “during menopause, hormones will change and it is at this time that women will change appearance and accumulate fat in the stomach. Thus, the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes will be comparable to men the same age. ”
Here are other health issues that reveal your buttocks:
Hemorrhoids
If you notice a small drop of blood after a short visit to the toilet or if you regularly have difficulty sitting, you may be suffering from dilated veins, better known as hemorrhoids, which form in the anal area. Very frequent, especially from 50, hemorrhoidal crises are often caused by constipation and forcing to pass stool …
Constipation also indicates a fiber deficiency in food, hence the importance of having a balanced diet to prevent this type of inconvenience. Obesity is another factor that increases the risk of hemorrhoids. Your doctor may prescribe a steroid cream to soothe the pain and itching, but most of the time, a change of food hygiene is the best remedy to avoid.
Warning: In some cases, a blood clot forms, which requires a small intervention of the doctor within 24 hours.
Folliculitis on the
This skin disease is very common among people who suffer from obesity, which remain in a sitting position so too prolonged or wear synthetic clothes tight. Folliculitis is a widespread skin disease that occurs when inflammation of hair follicles. This is a rash that appears mainly on the buttocks and thighs but can occur in any part of the body. Folliculitis looks like small buttons which have the appearance of small red lesions or boils.
Folliculitis is usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection that can come from your clothes or a razor … This is a sign that you should change the subject fabrics that you usually wear and it’s time to change your razor . Although this disease is completely benign and harmless to your health, it is annoying and uncomfortable. A simple consultation with a dermatologist will help you eliminate the infection with prompt treatment.
Muscle weakness of the back and feet
If you’re struggling to keep you in an upright position (having a slight overweight in the buttocks), it seems that the weakening of some muscles influences the overall shape of your back. It may also indicate a weakness of the trunk muscles. According to Erika Bloom, founder of the famous center Erika Bloom Pilates Plus in New York can prevent deformity of the back working the extensor muscles of the back, called multifidus, to stabilize the spine and not to affect the back support.
Also, if the hips / buttocks appear more developed, the problem may lie in the feet. Indeed, Erika Bloom explains that weak legs can cause a slight displacement of the thigh bones and thus influence the width of your hips. A small problem you can remedy by making targeted strength training exercises.
