BottomSlim | What It Means To Have A Pear-Shaped Body

Venus of Willendorf - The Body of A Goddess
Due to the world’s obsession with the Kardashian big buns, most pear-shaped women have absolutely no complaints about their bodies, at least until they gain weight. Have you ever been told you have a pear-shaped body? Do you know what that actually means?
What is a Pear Shape?
The pear shape is a term loosely used to describe a body fat distribution that is localised to the lower half. This essentially means that the vast majority of fat tends to be stored in the hips/buttocks, thighs, and legs. Pear-shaped women generally have slim upper bodies with narrow shoulders, small busts, and tiny waists.
When it comes to having a pear shape, weight gain is generally fit into two classifications. First, there is a build-up of subcutaneous fat, which is located just underneath the skin. There is also an overgrowth of fat cells within two additional “reserve” fat layers that are situated just beneath the subcutaneous fat. These multiple layers of fat cells greatly contribute to the second problem: cellulite.
Lower-body fat accumulation is largely a confidence-killing concern for pear-shaped women. The good news is, unlike visceral (belly) fat, neither subcutaneous nor reserve fat are significantly related to the development of obesity-related diseases.
What Factors Contribute to a Pear Shape?
Having a pear shape is closely linked to genetics; however, several other factors play a role including age, gender, pregnancy, hormonal status, and lifestyle behaviours. In general, pear shape in a young woman develops due to a predominance of estrogen, a female hormone. However, as women age and approach menopause, the levels begin to decline and many notice a change in body shape.
And then there are those lifestyle-related behaviors, which play a huge role in the manifestation of the pear shape. Regardless of how your body fat is genetically distributed the three factors that have the most profound impact on your total body fat are
1.        Daily calorie intake
2.       Nutritional quality of the food consumed
3.        Amount of calories burned on a daily basis.
How Can You Optimise Your Pear Shape?
A build-up of subcutaneous fat is closely linked to physical activity (or lack thereof) while over-development of reserve fat is often associated with dietary behaviours. As such, with the right combination of exercise - cardiovascular (cardio) activity coupled with resistance (weight) training as well as a sensible diet are the optimum way to enhance your curvy appearance.
There is of course other options geared towards enhancing your pear-shaped figure. You may visit our website for insight into the BottomSlim experience.
