"Heavy thighs of Relief"

.

Some months ago I was reading the blog of a charming young lady who was always trying to reduce the size of her……well, how shall I put it?…upper legs.

From now on there is no need to worry my friend.

“Women with skinny model-like thighs have a higher risk of heart disease and premature death than those with an average build.” a study claims!

(Where would we be without all these studies?)

.

.

Researchers found that people with a thigh circumference less than 24 inches (60cm) are more likely to develop coronary disease and die early than those with more chunky thighs.

(Their words, not mine)

However, the study, published in the British Medical Journal, also concluded that “Once you get above the 24 ins limit, there was no major benefit in having even wider legs.”

I beg your pardon, did I read that right?

Yes, it was what they said!

And see, I even have some sheet music.......

.

.

And then they went on to say:-

“The relationship between thigh size and early death and disease was even found after taking body fat and other high risk factors, such as smoking and high cholesterol, into account.”

The authors therefore suggest “That the risk from narrow thighs could be associated with too little muscle mass in the region.”

“This is problematic because it may lead to low insulin sensitivity and type 2 diabetes and, in the long run, heart disease,” they explain.

And what was the headline….

Thunder thighs could protect against heart disease and early death.

A cheeky picture for......someone's hubby!

And I think....a little dittie...

There was a young lady from Cheadle

Who sat down in church on a needle

Though deeply embedded

'twas happily threaded

And she had it removed by the Beadle !
