Each era had its own idea of beauty. For example, in antiquity, women with rounded shapes, fair skin, wide hips and waists were compared to Greek goddesses. In the Middle Ages, the ideal of beauty was expressed in small breasts, thin lips, thin arms and legs. As for our days, social media has played a major role in shaping the image of the ideal.
Large breasts, plump lips, narrow waist and wide hips with voluminous buttocks are the image that is broadcast as an ideal by bloggers and stars. At the same time, one should have a small amount of fat, be trim and firm. In response to this, body positivity has emerged, which encourages you to accept your body in any way you see it.

Tells why “lugs” appear on the hips and how to get rid of them.
Mail.Ru conducted a survey that showed that 70% of Russian women are dissatisfied with their body and its individual parts. Women want to make their figure more attractive and do not want to put up with excess weight.
Sometimes modern beauty standards offer an unrealistic bar, misleading, deceptive and contrary to human nature. Stars and models withhold information about plastic surgeries, injections. However, there are things you can change, look more attractive and be healthier.
Ears on the hips bother many women
Deposition of fatty tissue on the hips is inherent in nature in the fair sex. It occurs even in those who are not overweight, because it is a natural part of physiology. For example, in men, fat is most often deposited in the abdominal area. Deposition of fat reserves in the thighs is promoted by the production of the hormone estrogen.
Fat layer is necessary for the normal functioning of the body, but it is important to determine the ratio of fat and muscle tissue. The normal body fat content for women is 17-22%.
However, if you are determined to reduce the fat layer and remove the “galife”, you will have to work on it.
Fight on three fronts at once
- Reorganize your diet. Eat a varied and balanced diet. Give preference to fruits, cereals and porridge, poultry and fish, eggs and vegetable oil.

- Exercise activity. Keep a workout diary to track your results. Alternate between strength and cardio workouts.
