Paris Hilton and husband Carter Reum welcomed their first child together, Phoenix Barron, through a surrogate.
As expected, the reality TV star turned entrepreneur was over the moon to become a mother of a healthy baby boy.
And, as any mother out there, Hilton has been eager to share a photo of her no 9-month-old baby on the social media. On October 19, she posted a cute image of herself and her son with the caption, “My precious angel baby Phoenix’s first time in NYC.”
Sadly, however, people can be cruel at times and they don’t seem to spare anyone from criticism, especially celebrities.
Out of nowhere, the comment section under her post was filled with cruel words mocking the baby. Many of the remarks were focused on the toddler’s head size.
“You need to have your baby evaluated by a pediatric neurosurgeon, he has a pretty large fontanelle (soft spot) and macrocrania, he would likely need a MRI or US to rule out blockage of spinal fluid in his brain to be on the safe side,” one person wrote.
Added another: “Does he have encephalitis? Like what is actually going on I’m not trying to be rude that doesn’t seem normal.”
The comments Hilton received about the looks of her son were beyond cruel, and she decided to stand up for him.
On X, Hilton wrote, “Living life in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else’s for that matter, is unacceptable.
“This hurts my heart more deeply than words can describe,” the television personality said.
“I’ve worked hard to cultivate an environment that is all about love, respect, and acceptance, and I expect the same in return,” she continued.
“If I don’t post my baby, people assume I’m not a great mother, and if I do post him, there are some people who are cruel and hateful. I’m a proud working mom, and my baby is perfectly healthy, adorable and angelic.”
She ended the post by saying that she hopes that “people can treat one another with more kindness and empathy.”
Triggered by another mean comment on TikTok, Hilton explained, “There are some sick people in this world. My angel is perfectly healthy. And yes, of course, he has been to a doctor; he just has a large brain.”
Speaking to People, Hilton shared that she gets help from her family and loved ones in raising Phoenix Barron. “[My parents] are just so obsessed with him,” Hilton said. “I’m always calling my mom and my sister [Nicky Hilton] for advice, and I’m really lucky that I’m so close with my family, so I have such a big support group.”
We are so very sorry Hilton and her husband faced such negativity from people who don’t even know them.
No child, or any person in general, should ever be a subject of mocking and harassment.
Identify Your Fat Distribution Type and Learn How to Address It
Obesity is a complex issue with various underlying causes, and no single approach works for everyone. Understanding where your body stores fat can help you adopt the right strategies for weight management.
Recent research has categorized obesity into distinct groups, shedding light on why different people require different treatment approaches. A study published in the Journal of Public Health examined 4,000 obese adults and classified them into six categories:
The Six Types of Obesity
- Healthy Young Women – Obese but with minimal health complications like type 2 diabetes.
- Heavy Drinkers – Similar to the first group but characterized by high alcohol consumption.
- Middle-Aged Individuals with Anxiety and Depression – Primarily women in their fifties who struggle with mental health issues.
- Older, Wealthy, and Generally Healthy Individuals – Despite obesity, they maintain good health but may experience high blood pressure and consume more alcohol.
- Older Individuals with Physical Ailments but Positive Mental Health – Suffer from chronic conditions like osteoarthritis but remain mentally well.
- Individuals with Poor Overall Health – Often facing financial struggles and multiple chronic diseases.
This classification highlights the need for personalized weight management strategies. While this is a significant step forward, further research is needed to refine treatment approaches.
Body Fat Distribution: Android vs. Gynoid
Fat distribution patterns vary by gender and genetics:
- Android Fat Distribution – More common in men, leading to an “apple-shaped” body with excess fat around the abdomen.
- Gynoid Fat Distribution – More common in women, resulting in a “pear-shaped” body with fat stored around the hips and thighs.
Types of Obesity and How to Address Them
1. Upper Body Obesity (Android)
Cause: Excess calorie intake and lack of exercise.
Solution: Reduce sugar consumption and engage in at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity. Consulting a healthcare professional can be beneficial.
2. Stomach Obesity (Android)
Cause: Stress, anxiety, or depression.
Solution: Manage mental health through relaxation techniques and regular exercise. Seeking professional guidance may help.
3. Lower Body Obesity (Gynoid)
Cause: More common in women due to hormonal factors.
Solution: Incorporate lower-body resistance training and cardiovascular exercises. Since this type of fat can be stubborn, professional support may be helpful.
4. Swollen Belly (Android)
Cause: Excessive alcohol consumption or breathing issues.
Solution: Reduce alcohol intake and practice proper breathing exercises.
5. Lower Body Obesity Extending to the Lower Legs (Gynoid)
Cause: Common in pregnant women, leading to swelling.
Solution: Water aerobics and elevating the legs can reduce discomfort.
6. Large Protruding Belly with Upper Back Fat (Android)
Cause: Inactivity and unstable blood sugar levels.
Solution: Increase physical activity and maintain stable blood sugar through small, frequent meals.
The Importance of Identifying Your Obesity Type
Recognizing where and why your body stores fat can help you create a personalized weight-loss strategy. By addressing the root causes—whether they stem from diet, lifestyle, or mental health—you can take meaningful steps toward long-term wellness.
