Hormones Impact on Body Fat Storage and Metabolism
Estrogen plays a crucial role in fat storage and metabolic health, particularly in women. Estrogens dictate where the body stores fat, with different types influencing storage locations such as breasts and hips. Contrary to the myth, estrogens do not promote fat storage but help prevent excessive fat accumulation. The metabolic burden associated with fertility in women links estrogen levels to reproductive health, shaping fat distribution and promoting hyperplasia.
