Hmmmm! 4 reasons Why Being Fat Might Be Good For You

Contrary to general assumption that being 'fat' is a ticket to hell, new studies by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, has however revealed that fat may not be as bad as it seems. Studies also shown that Higher Body Mass Index (BMI) reduces the risk of Dementia.

1. Lowers miscarriage:  Research has shown women with a low BMI before they become pregnant are 72% more likely to suffer a miscarriage in the first three months of pregnancy.

2. Lowers infertility: Research from Aberdeen University suggested “a real connection between weight and sperm” – probably because oestrogen, which is as important for sperm production as testosterone (it’s all about the balance) is released by fat stores, therefore those with low fat stores produce less (or less healthy) sperm.

3. Lowers risk of depression: Again, it’s about the men. A Swedish study reported thinner men are 12% more likely to commit suicide than those of normal weight - overweight men are 12% less likely.

4. Lowers risk of lung disease: When women get older and are too slim, it’s thought they are more likely to suffer chronic lung problems (like bronchitis, pneumonia and asthma).
