Fat Cells in the body: the harsh truth

People are born with a genetically-predetermined number of fat cells. Some are born with more fat cells than the others. The person who was born with more fat cells is certainly at a disadvantage when compared to someone with less number of fat cells. It does sound unfair, but it is true.

The number of fat cells in the body can increase throughout life but it cannot ever decrease – the number will never go below the beginning mark! (Except through liposuction, which is unnatural). However, we are lucky to the extent that we can change the size of the fat cells. A person born with a large number of fat cells can shrink all of them, with the right nutrition and exercise and thereby become dramatically thinner and leaner.

Some of us are given more fat cells by heredity, and some fewer. But the final fat level is the result of environment, behavior as well as heredity. You can vary your final fat level a lot by what and how you eat, as well as what kind and how much exercise you do. No matter where you start from, you can transform your body totally. The most critical body part is your own mind. If you have the know-how and the will, you can perform miracles with your body.
