Generally we assume that thin people won’t have any fat and so don’t suffer from problems caused by fat. But British researchers say that it is not a fact. They claim that thin people might suffer from various health risks posed by the internal fat surrounding vital organs. “Being thin doesn’t mean that you don’t have fat”, say the researchers. After doing research on 800 people with MRI machines since 1994 they came up with this finding.

Someone is lean doesn’t mean that they are immune to diabetes, heart diseases, or other health risks. Even normal Body Mass Index (BMI) scores are not an indication of healthy levels of fat deposits inside.

Health experts are worried that thin people falsely assume that they will be healthy because they’re not overweight and so don’t contain fat. In the research study alsmost 45 percent of the women with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had excessive levels of internal fat. In case of men, it is even more – nearly 60 percent.

Research studies prove that people who keep slim through diet rather than physical exercise are having major deposits of internal fat. So experts suggest physical exercise rather than dieting as the best way to control internal fat and save yourself from the related negative effects.
