Why do girls' legs generally feel thicker than boys'? !

Perhaps you will notice that under normal body shape, boys' legs always seem to be thinner than girls'?

If you are a girl, you may have more experience, because when you buy pants, shoes, clothes, and socks, you have to consider making your legs look thinner and longer, but boys can easily gain the advantage of having thin legs. Why is this? !

Sorry to tell you, girls are born with thick legs!

As we all know, women's body is mainly estrogen, while men's body is mainly androgen. While the two hormones are neither good nor bad, they have completely different attitudes towards muscle and fat. Androgens are responsible for promoting protein synthesis and bone growth for muscular development, while estrogens help women store fat in preparation for childbearing.

Because of the difference in hormone content, it is easier for boys to store fat on their stomachs, and it is easier for women to store fat on their legs and buttocks, so you will see that some boys have big stomachs but thin legs, and some girls are obviously very thin The legs are thick ...

On the other hand, fat also produces and stores estrogen to help women reproduce, so girls born with a higher body fat rate than boys.

Generally speaking, the ideal body fat rate for men is 10%-20%, while that for girls is 18%-25%. Therefore, even boys and girls of the same weight, girls will look more "voluptuous" than boys.

Secondly, the difference in the pelvis makes girls' legs thicker.

Or for better childbirth, the pelvis of girls is naturally much wider than that of boys. Men's slender, narrow pelvis will not only make boys' hips narrower but also elongate the legs, making the legs look thinner; while women's wide and short pelvis will make women's buttocks bigger and legs thinner Short, the most annoying thing is that the pelvis of women may become wider after giving birth, causing women to have big and flat buttocks after giving birth...the legs look thicker.

Looking at it this way, is it true that all the benefits belong to boys, and girls are too miserable? ? No! Girls with thick legs are also good!

Studies have shown that girls with thicker legs are healthier.

A study by the University of Tübingen in Germany found that pear-shaped women with normal weight but more fat in the buttocks and thighs have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes, because the fat accumulated on the buttocks and thighs is subcutaneous fat, which is harmful to the body. The human body has a protective effect, and the fat accumulated on the stomach is visceral fat, which can cause diseases such as high cholesterol and insulin resistance.

Girls with thick legs may also be smarter.

Experts from the University of Pittsburgh in the United States said that thigh fat is a sign of IQ. Girls with fat thighs can provide more fatty acids for the body, and fatty acids can stimulate the brain to work and improve work efficiency.

Similarly, "outstanding people" are more likely to appear in the "broad-hips" crowd. Psychologists in the United States conducted an intelligence test on 276 adults. In the scores, people with larger buttocks scored an average of 31 points higher than those with smaller buttocks!

It can be seen that the accumulation of subcutaneous fat in the buttocks and legs may really be a sign of IQ. Of course, the above benefits are for girls with a normal weight. If you are overweight or your thighs are loose and ugly, then you must lose weight!
