Which part of the human body grows first?

In our time, the dictates of fashionwant us all to have perfect anatomy. Indeed, through social networks, television, media, having THE rightbodyis worse than an obsession! Each of us, without meaning to be superficial, pays attention to his image, his morphology, whether through food or bymaintaining his image (physical activity, diet …). And quite often, when you gain weight, it is disaster and the questions that remain all the time are: what are the exact places that are growing? And which one grows first in humans? Here are some insights into these questions as well as the reasons.

A gender factor

Getting fat on this or that part can depend either on your genetics (if in your family you have a fine morphology for example, you will have a good chance of having the same) but also on sex! Women will tend to store fat at the hipsbecause according to some studies, stored fat can send the energy necessary for pregnancy or breastfeeding, while men will gain fat in the belly. This is difficult to explain rationally but in short, hormones determine where fat will be stored. This does not necessarily mean that you will gain weight only at the hips if you are a woman and vice versa, but as a general rule, this is what happens.

Eating habits

Of course, what we eat also changes our morphologyin a very significant way. For example, a person who has a sweeter diet than average, will tend to gain weight mainly in the shoulders and hips. The accumulation of sugar turns into fat and will be stored in these parts. By the way, eating sweet will promote weight gain besides the shoulders and hips, but in general. In addition, eating fat will also promote an imbalancein the body and promote fat storage.

Hormonal factor

Some scientific studies have proven that  Hormones can influence fat depositionin certain parts of our body. As for men, when testosterone is below normal levels, the biceps will tend to get bigger and the chest to bulge. These observations are not due to any bodybuilding or any other physical exercise, but to hormones, such as androgens as well. For women, estrogen influences weight gain more in the hips and thighs.

In conclusion, gaining weight on this or that part of our body will  depend on several factors: our sex, our metabolism, our genetics (hormones) or even our diet. It is therefore necessary, with regard to food, toeat a balanceddiet (neither too sweet, nor too salty, nor too fatty) in order to avoid any storage of fat but above all to preserve our health. Also,engage in regular physical activity allows you to stay in shape while maintaining your image. Some exercises will help you lose weight in a specific area of your body, most of the time weight training. It allows you to transform fat into muscle and accompanied by a healthy diet, your image will improve.
