Dear
Bar , n you
explain what
fat cells are and
their poien-
tial impact on
health. Thanks, Marsha.

nswer: Dear Marsha, fat
cells, also called "adipose
-tissue," can be found in a
number of different locations in
the body (underneath your skin, on
top of your kidneys, in the liver,
and small amounts in muscle). The
difference in fat concentrations is
largely attributable to whether you
are a man or a woman and the ac-
tivity of the sex hormones estrogen
and testosterone.

Fat cells do not increase
much after puberty The
number of fat cells remains
relatively steady —fat cells
tend to get bigger or
) smaller depending on the
changes in the concen-
tration of fatty tissues.

Excess adipose tissues
/ (fat cells) on a human
i can lead to a variety of
medical problems; how-
ever, a round or large figure does
not necessarily mean that there is
a medical problem. It's always best
to check with your physician.

Eating high fat foods coupled
with a lack of exercise can lead to
unhealthy weight gain. It's much
easier to feed/enlarge fat cells than
to reduce them. I recommend that
you exercise more, eat less bad
(saturated) fat and more good (un-
saturated) fats, and generally make
better food and lifestyle choices.

Registered Dietitian
