In contrast, the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality is significantly increased when leg fat content is too low.  The inability to store fat in the legs is likely a key factor in the elevated risk of cardiovascular metabolic disease in lean individuals.

Whether you gain weight or lose weight, your body will synthesize new lipids as long as you eat. Fat cells are dynamic tissues where large amounts of lipids enter and exit every day, like a "job center:" Absorption: a large amount of new lipid enters the cell after a meal, waiting for an opportunity. Removal: lipi...
