LONDON (AFP) - Having a well-covered behind, big hips and solid thighs "is good for you", experts said on Tuesday in a new finding likely to delight women the world over.

Carrying fat on the hips, thighs and bum, rather than around the waist, has a range of health benefits and actively protects against diabetes and heart disease, researchers at Oxford University said.

"Fat around the hips and thighs is good for you but around the tummy is bad," said Dr Konstantinos Manolopoulos, one of three scientists behind the research which has been published in the International Journal of Obesity.

A big bottom is much better than carrying fat around the waist, which tends to release more harmful fatty acids into the body, the research shows.

Belly fat also releases molecules called cytokines which trigger inflammation - raising the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

But fat carried on the thighs traps these harmful fatty acids and stops them from latching on to the liver and muscles and causing range of health problems, including insulin resistance.

So I don't get it, if you're just fat you're in the clear then?

They are saying that if you are going to be fat, then try to make sure its only in the thighs and buttocks because its safer than it being around the waste and belly.

Being fit is still healthier.
