Big Bums And Thighs OK, But Not Beer Bellies
A NEW health study by Oxford University
suggests that large buttocks and heavy thighs are a ultimate
deterrent against heart and metabolic diseases.
Hip and backside fat is instrumental in
using the hormone adiponectin, which protects the arteries, and
aids blood sugar control and cardiovascular problems.
The hormone soaks up treacherous fatty
acids and has an anti-flammatory element thwarting artery
clogging. While the research supports large hips, buttocks, and
thighs, it sees rotund bellies as a dangerous accoutrement to
good health. The study was published in the International
Journal of Obesity.
"Fat around the hips and thighs is good
for you," said lead researcher Dr Konstantinos Manopoulos. "But
around the tummy it is bad."
Cherokee Nation Search Among Clans For Scottish Ancestor
THE CHEROKEE Nation is sending a
delegation to the next International Gathering of The Clans, to
uncover the mystery of a celebrated ancestor named Ludovick
Grant of Clan Grant. The Scot was captured after the battle of
Prestonpans in 1715, during the rebellion and instead of being
hanged was sent to America as an indentured servant. After his
time was served, he spent thirty years amongst the Cherokee
indians, taking a common-law wife named Eughioote which produced
a daughter Mary. The daughter married within the Cherokee
nation, and many of today's tribe can trace their ancestry back
to Ludovick and his daughter Mary. The Scot had been married in
Edinburgh to Margaret Redwood, five years before his capture,
but never saw her again after his forced deportation.
