Possible accelerated brain aging in 'skinny fat' individuals, according to obesity specialist

According to an obesity specialist, individuals with 'skinny fat' may have faster aging brains. This is reportedly due to an unhealthy body fat percentage, while the weight on the scale still appears normal. HLN reports.

An excessively high body fat percentage, even with a normal weight, can reportedly have a negative impact on brain health. The obesity specialist emphasizes that weight does not tell the whole story about the body's health.

It is unclear whether research has been conducted on the link between 'skinny fat' and accelerated brain aging. According to the source, a healthy body fat percentage is important for both body and mind. HLN reports that exercise and a healthy diet can help improve body fat percentage.
