Women with round buttocks are healthier

Your round buttocks have never been so valuable: they are a sign that you are extremely healthy. According to experts, women with round buttocks are actually very fit.

So just embrace those curves.

Flat butt
And eat especially that hamburger. Women with thick, prominent buttocks are much healthier than women with a flat butt, claim researchers from the University of Oxford. They studied 16,000 women with a substantial backside. Women with thick buttocks generally have a lower cholesterol level than women who are very thin, which means they have a lower risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, they were found to have a higher level of Omega 3 fatty acids. And that's good for your brain, too. In other words: you're not only healthier with that nice round backside, but maybe even a bit smarter than those flat-bottomed women.

Smarter children
Are you comfortably sitting on all your fat and do you still have a desire for children? Good idea. You actually get smarter children if you are blessed with a generous backside. How does it work? The fat on the buttocks and hips contributes to the production of the substance docosahexaenoic acid.

That substance is related to how the brain of your unborn baby grows in your belly. The indication is: the more of that substance is present in your body, the better your pregnancy is. And thus researchers can draw a small conclusion: the more fat you have on your buttocks, the more your baby's brain grows in the womb. Now, you shouldn't take this too literally, as it's obviously not the case that women with a flat butt automatically give birth to unintelligent children, but this finding is indeed amusing.

“The fat in these areas is a depot for building a baby's brain,” says Professor Will Lassek from the University of Pittsburgh. “You need a lot of fat to create a nervous system, and the fat in these areas is rich in DHA, an important part of the human brain. It seems that many women develop and retain this fat until a baby arrives.”

We already said it: that big butt has never been so valuable. Now enjoy that dessert tonight, because you're actually being quite sensible.
