Thin thighs may pose a risk to heart health. Really. I just heard it on the BBC, when I was washing dishes. At first, I couldn't believe my ears. Then, they repeated it. I ran to the computer to check it out. Indeed, there it was:
"Large thighs 'may protect heart'
Men and women with thighs over 60cm (23.6in) in circumference have a lower risk of heart disease and early death, a study of 3,000 people suggests... Those with narrow thighs may not have enough muscle mass to deal with insulin properly, raising the risk of diabetes and, in turn, heart disease, they say."
The BBC based its report on 10-year Danish study published in the British Medical Journal. The article continued with some caveats: "Experts cautioned that the research needed corroborating" and warned that it was "too early to change current advice on eating and exercise for heart health."
Still.
This is great news for so many of us.
Thin thighs may pose a risk.
Suddenly all things are possible.
Have a Shabbat Shalom!

There once was a girl with thin thighs
ReplyDeleteShe thought she was a real sight for men's eyes
Alas, she took ill
Her insulin swirled up and down a hill
She was heard to say, "Thin thighs are so unwise."
