Truth about Our Body

Although little boys and little girls are different, the descriptions in the rhyme are far from the truth. The male body is more muscular and therefore perhaps more protein oriented and the female body is soft with fat depots in the right places for nature’s child bearing. Of course additionally girls are sweet and sugary, they are nicer when they are little than the boys are.

Active mass is what forms our muscles. So the musculature is higher in the normal state than in the obese. It’s but natural that the fatty mass or adiposity is increased in the obese. The extra cellular fluid decreases in the obese. When people say that they are really not fat but have a higher weight due to water retention, it can only be true if they are highly hypertensive, or when they have renal problems. The connective tissue is replaced with adipose tissue. Hence it is less in the obese.
