So their cardiovascular risk factors of high blood lipids are lower. It’s healthier. The thing to tell men is you may be lean when you’re young, but if you start gaining weight as you get older you’re going to be in a lot worse shape than your wife, who might gain similar weight, because her adipose tissue is much more protective than a man’s.”
