Answer #1

Having butt fat doesn’t really hurt anything, as opposed to fat in other areas. For example, stomach fat has been linked to heart disease.

Answer #2

I feel I might know the article your talking about and if it is they were speaking about wide hips being healthy cause it’s a sign of fertility.

Answer #3

That piece in the magazine was stating (studies revealed) that woman who are predisposed to having big butts etc. Have been found to be healthier. It’s not saying for woman to go out and gain weight to get healthy.

Answer #4

Well, fat actually does have a purpose. It insulates cells, protects organs from disease, and balances hormones, and is something your body needs. And yes, lower body fat is healthier- you need more lower body fat (like your butt) than upper body fat, although you need some of that too. Hope I helped :)
