EXERCISE STILL IMPORTANT

Women who receive liposuction to remove subcutaneous fat must exercise after surgery to avoid gaining visceral fat deep in their abdomens, which can be a long-term health risk, according to a study of 36 Brazilian women ages 20 to 35. Liposuction may "trigger a compensatory increase of visceral fat, which is effectively counteracted by physical activity," researchers reported.
