Fat thighs and backsides may help you live longer...

New research from the University of Oxford in England suggests having fatter thighs and backsides may help you live longer.

The fat may trap harmful fatty particles and actively release helpful compounds. Mmmm! Maybe you can cut down on a bit of that running?

But having excess fat round the stomach and abdomen is more likely to cause heart disease and eventual death. Keep up that running, in that case!
