Excess weight can have a negative impact on health. That is why many people try to get rid of it.

But there is also an opinion that the reason for its gain may be a wide bone.

But is it true that extra pounds appear because the bones are “wide”?

But this is not so.

Nutritionist Natalia Zubareva explained that genetics does not play a role in the development of obesity.

She shared the details with representatives of the NEWS.ru publication.

The doctor noted that fat can accumulate differently in men and women.

For example, the former often experience a growing belly, while the fair sex may experience a larger waist and gains in hips and buttocks.

Most often, the reasons for excess weight are the same.

“Genetics and the notorious ‘big bones’ that those with large fat reserves refer to play the most insignificant role,” Zubareva noted during the interview.
