Skinny not Mean No Fatty

Thin-bodied people who are not necessarily free of bad fats. Some doctors now believe that fat in the body around the vital organs such as jatung, liver and pancreas are as dangerous as the visible fat on the outside of the body protruding under the skin.
"Regulated skinny does not mean you're not fat," said Dr.. Jimmy Bell, a professor of molecular representation at Imperial College, London. Since 1994, Dr. Bell and his team have scanned approximately 800 people with MRI machines to find "fat maps" showing where people store fat in the location of her body.
According to the data that is found, the people who maintain ideal body weight with a diet food but without exercise, tend to have large fat deposits in his body, even though they are slim though. "The whole concept of the understanding of fat needs to be explained again," said Dr.. Bell whose research is funded by Britain's Medical Research Council (UK Medical Research Council).
Without a clear warning, the doctors fear will arise from the assumption of thin-bodied people who feel they are in good health because it is not overweight.Though the situation could be otherwise.
"Just because they was thin does not mean they are immune from the dangers of diabetes or risk factors for heart disease," said Dr.. Louis Teichholz, chief of cardiology at Hackensack Hospital in New Jersey, USA, who did not participate in the research of Dr.. Bell.
Even people who have a score of BMI (Body Mass Index) normalpun can show a surprising level of fat deposits in his body. On the women that are scanned by Dr.Bell and his team, as much as 45 percent with normal BMI scores appeared to have excess fat in his body. As for the men, the percentage reached 60 percent.
Related to the term called Dr. Bell as a "thin outside, fat inside (TOFI)" (thin outside, fat inside), the results are really surprising. "The more thin people even more surprising result," he said TOFI invention relates to the respondents of the professional model who was very thin and slim.
According to Drs. Bell, people who lean in his organs could potentially be fat.They consume too much fat, high sugar yield food and rarely exercise. But they do not eat too much. Scientists believe we naturally accumulate fat in the abdomen, but on certain conditions, the body begins to fill it anywhere. Most people also believe that a normal body weight is an indicator of good health. Moreover, the BMI score is considered as a reliable reference measure.
"BMI will not indicate the exact location of fat, but rather a body of clinical measurement tool," said Dr.. Toni Steer, a nutritionist from the British Medical Research Council.
The doctors are not sure exactly about the dangers of fat deposits in the organs of the body, but most of them suspect the condition may be associated with diabetes and heart disease dangers. Their theory is fat in the organs of the body can disrupt the body's systems work as a whole. Fat that surrounds internal organs can send the wrong chemical signals to store fat in organs like the liver or pancreas. This condition eventually will risk disruption of insulin, type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
Experts already know that obese people are known to be more active healthier than those who are thinner but less active. "Those who are normal weight but less active and fit at greater risk of disease than those who are overweight but still active and fit," said Dr.. Steven Blair, an obesity expert from the University of South Carolina, USA.
"As an easy example, a sumo wrestler who had a history of fat metabolism better than the audience is slim and just sat there watching," added Dr. Blair. That's because the fat on the wrestlers were generally buried under the skin and vital organs are not covered and their muscles.
But the good news is fat in the body organs can be burned through exercise or even by improving your diet. "Although not seen directly, but physical exercise and calorie settings can significantly affect the internal fat," said Dr.. Bob Ross, an obesity expert at Queen's University in Canada.
But because of the many factors that influence the risk of heart disease, Dr..Teichholz states very difficult to ascertain accurately the dangers of internal fat deposits. "Obesity is one risk factor, but still relatively low," he added as he pointed out that a family history of disease, cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels is a more determining factor than the internal and external fat.
In conclusion, if you want fit and healthy, Dr.. Bell suggested, "If you want to look thin and slim, it is sufficient to diet alone. But if you want really healthy, then exercise should be an important part of your lifestyle."
