ESTROGEN AND FAT CELLS
What is estrogen? It’s a group of 3 hormones that regulate women’s reproductive functions
Estrogen performs 300 different functions in the body
As women age estrogen from the ovaries and glands start to dwindle
As estrogen levels drop the womens body has some clever way
of dealing with this that’s right estrogen can be produced in fat cells
so the fat cells start making their new home usually first around the mid section
Women's fat cells can also divide and make more fat cells
LOCATION OF FAT
The womens body chooses the tummy for fat storage this is the area
most conductive to the production of estrogen
Fat cells located in the mid section insulate the liver and adrenal glands
it’s the aid of these two that produces the estrogen
