A 2007 study conducted by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California at Santa Barbara found that butt size may have something to do with intelligence. In a study including over 16,000 women, the curvier girls consistently outperformed the skinnier girls on cognitive tests.
But it has to be a fat butt, rather than a fat tummy and a fat butt.
The researchers discovered that the fat stored in the buttocks and upper thighs consists of omega-3 fatty acids, which are the healthy fats that improve brain power and overall health. Nonetheless, the fat stored in the abdominal area consists of omega-6 fatty acids, which are unhealthy and cause you to gain weight. They found that women with ‘pear’ and ‘hourglass’ figures (skinny middles and curvy butts) have greater omega-3 stores, which nourish their brains and improve their intelligence.
Women with larger butts also give birth to healthier babies!
The same study concluded that the extra omega-3 that curvy girls have also improves the health of their baby. These healthy fats are important for the development of the foetal brain, and the more abundant they are, the healthier the baby.
A larger butt also equals better breast milk.
A researchers from Oxford University conducted another study, found that the fat content in a mother’s breast milk comes from the lower half of her body, which includes the thigh and buttock region. The excess omega-3 stored here makes a healthy and balanced breakfast for baby!
