Obesity Drawbacks
Adipocytes, also known as fat cells or lipocytes, makes a person look ungainly and obese. The fat deposits in and around the neck, arms, waist, and hips are unhealthy. More than 80% of the body fat gets deposited under the skin (subcutaneous). The remaining adipose accumulates around the internal organs (viscera) of the human body.
Visceral fat is detrimental to overall health, but weight loss regimens are effective in losing it. Body fat is also found near, under, or around the knees, buttocks, thighs, lower back, and chest.
Cellulite is the formation of bumps and dimples mainly around the pelvic region in women. It is the result of interaction between subcutaneous fat and connective tissue, and the prime locations are hips, buttocks, thighs, and abdomen.
