Comment: These findings are based on the protective effects of an anti-inflammatory that is produced in fat cells in the hips. What this article opens up is (again) the necessity of living an anti-inflammatory life style. This involves the supplementation of fatty acids, avoid pro-inflammatory foods and habits, and utilizing specific herbs on a daily basis to "put out the fires" of inflammation.
Researchers at the Institute of Preventative Medicine in Copenhagen have news that girls will love to hear - that curvaceous women are more likely to live longer than their slimmer counterparts.
The Danish researchers found that women with wider hips also appeared to be protected against heart conditions, while women with a hip measurement smaller than 40 inches, or a size 14 would not apparently have this protection.
Hip fat appears to contain a beneficial natural anti-inflammatory. The anti-inflammatory, called adiponectin, they say, prevents arteries swelling up and becoming blocked.
