I have always known that my booty will bring me something good one day (Igwe included). I don’t have those very visible and daring curves that men like, but I do have a working booty. And thighs for days. They just won’t go away – not that I really want them to. But I have just read the best news ever: women with big butts are smarter. Rejoice, girls! If you are a girl who does not have a big booty (sorry Funmie), then just join the rest of us to rejoice.<\/p>\n

According to a scientific study (I keep asking, who are these scientists sef?), women with big butts are smarter. They<\/del> We are also less likely to have high cholesterol, and we are smarter because we produce more omega 3 fats. Woo hoo! Listen, just couple weeks ago, I bought a pair of skinny<\/em> jeans (for my non skinny<\/em> body), and it’s tight on my thighs. But on my waist, I can take it off or on without even unbuttoning it. I was so frustrated that I refused to send it back (I ordered it online). If I order a smaller size, it won’t fit my thighs, so I’m gonna be wearing my jeans like that … with a belt I’ll be stealing from Igwe’s closet.<\/p>\n

I don’t know who the scientists are that do these studies, but one thing is certain: they’re having all kinds of fun. Here’s how they’re reporting the study:<\/p>\n

A study from the University of Oxford revealed that women with bigger butts have distinct advantages over women who have flat rears, and not just the ability to fill out a pair of jeans. Those with inflated derri\u00e8res have lower insulin resistance, and they produce hormones that better metabolize sugar — which means these women are less likely to develop heart problems or diabetes than women who carry extra weight around their stomachs. These women also tend to have lower cholesterol; and they tend be smarter, because they produce more Omega 3 fats, which mobilizes brain development.<\/p>\n

Researchers indicate that fat in the lower body is preferred to fat anywhere else throughout the body. Dr. Michael Jensen, director of endocrine research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. stated that the fat of pear-shaped women behaves in healthy ways, and that the public should think about fat “as an important organ for our health.”<\/p>\n

“It is the protective role of lower body, that is [thigh and backside] fat, that is striking. The protective properties of the lower body fat depot have been confirmed in many studies conducted in subjects with a wide range of age, BMI and co-morbidities,” ABC News said, quoting<\/a> the Journal of Obesity.<\/p>\n

Dr. Robert Kushners, medical specialist in obesity at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, clarified that fat in the stomach is “more metabolically active,” therefore harmful, while fat in the lower regions may be more stable.<\/p>\n

Experts have been unclear on whether lower region shapeliness is healthier than being thin, but they did indicate that those who are thin have no health advantages over those his carry weight in their lower body.  Source: Latin Post<\/a><\/p>\n
