Fat cells what are they really??

So here we go!!
Normal, healthy, fatty tissue development (growth of new fat cells, not fat cell size) begins in the womb and continues until a child is 18 months old. It then picks up again during puberty.  In today’s society, with all the junk food and excessive calories, some children are in a constant state of fat cell growth and potentially new fat cells. (Hint) (Stop with the FREE refills) In women, the outer areolar layer is thicker ( lucky us) and the skin covering it is usually thinner which is the case right from birth. As a woman ages and gains more body fat from an increase in the inner lamellar layer, it makes the fat cells in the areolar layer more visible.
Keep yourself active!

Babies will loose the baby fat, if they have good role models, you as adults set the stage for the kids if you lay around eating chips all day chances are your kids will too!!
