Who knew the day would come when having a big butt wouldn’t be such a negative body issue?  Not only is having a big butt eye candy but studies show it is actually a positive health attribute. 

A study was done at Harvard University where fat from the butt was injected into the mice’s stomach later showing that the mice body weight and overall fat mass decreased.  Fat that is wrapped around organs known as visceral fat is the fat that we should be trying to get rid of because it causes bad health. 

This good fat that is found around the butt is known as subcutaneous fat which produces hormones that are known to boost a person’s metabolism.  Because the fat is lying underneath the skin of the buttocks a good result is produced. 

Amongst lowering body fat having extra fat in the butt can help fight against heart disease.  Fat under the skin, especially on the buttocks, seems to actually decrease the chances of getting type two diabetes. 

So the next time someone mentions how big your butt looks in your plus size clothing smile and say thanks. Little do they know but that big butt is decreasing the levels of bad cholesterol and increasing the levels of good cholesterol in your body.  It is finally good news for all of us pear shaped, hour glass, curvaceous women.
