5 Worst Foods for Your Hips

For most women, the first sign of weight gain is gradually widening hips. It is therefore unfortunate that widening hips are hardly noticed until we try on that old dress or old skirt. One reason women are most likely to have widening hips is thought to be because of the female hormones and the female genes. The hormones firstly ensure we have more fats than muscle, (gain excess weight more easily) whilst the female genes make sure they go mostly to the hips. This, therefore, means that the first sign of weight gain for most women is in their hips.
In other words, controlling the widening of our hips most times is early prevention of weight gain and also total weight control. There are many foods that can lead to a widening of hips and over time total weight gain. Some of these foods include;

Whole fat Dairy foods

Whole fat dairy foods such as milk, cheese, yogurt, ice-cream, and even frosting are enemies to your hips. These whole fat dairy products contain high calories which eventually end in widening hips and in excess weight gain.

Potato

Potato is a high-calorie food product. Therefore intake in its fried form (fries) is loading yourself with excess calories. In addition excess intake of boiled, baked or roasted potato is in no way controlling your caloric intake and is leading you down the road of wide hips.

Refined Grains

Refined grains such as rice or pasta are easily absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, they firstly decrease your metabolic rate and afterward lead to fat storage in the hips and over time, the whole body.

Red Meat

Red meat slows down your metabolic rate. In addition, most forms of red meat contain lots of fats, which end up being deposited on your hip. In addition, red meat is not good for your heart as well as blood pressure.

Sweets

Sweets such as cakes, muffins, biscuits and many more, contain sugar which is also fructose. The body can hardly control the absorption of fructose which is why it is a ready source of energy. Therefore, when you take in those sweet foods, you provide such a surge of energy that your body stores everything else and uses the fructose you gave it.

Conclusion

It is important to be vigilant and pay attention to changes in your body. You are not weird for noticing that your hips are growing bigger. Remember those steadily widening hips are usually also a sign of steadily increasing weight. Eating healthy and exercising regularly would control growing hips as well as increasing weight.
