What about in case you want to achieve a satisfactory effect faster? It is possible! Also for women who are not advocates of drastic diets and regular workouts. Check out how.
Why does fat tissue accumulate on the thighs?
** Sex hormones and genetic predisposition are largely responsible for the appearance and shape of our thighs ** A woman's body stores fat in this area, as well as the abdominal and hip zones, in case of possible starvation or pregnancy. This is a kind of natural protection and storage of the body in case of the advent of extreme survival conditions. Of course, it is not only genes that are responsible for excessive thigh volume. To a large extent, these problems are due to a sedentary lifestyle, improper diet and lack of physical activity.
Accept or act? What can result in excess fat in the thigh area?
It is important to remember that the size, shape and amount of fat in the thigh area is often a relative value. Many women, whose measurements and weight are normal, strenuously try to convince themselves (often themselves) that they are too fat and need fat reduction. Others, on the other hand, are fully accepting of themselves and their appearance, claiming that excess weight is never too much and far from any resolutions to exercise or eat a healthy diet. Abundant thigh fat is not indifferent to the body. It puts a lot of stress on joints and bones, which often leads to problems with degenerative changes at a relatively young age. Besides, excess fat in the thigh area is not aesthetically pleasing (especially if one additionally struggles with cellulite). It causes it to be more difficult to fit, for example, tight jeans, clothing is more quickly rubbed and damaged, and unpleasant chafing accompanies us in the summer.
