A little Monday morning cheer for y'all. A bona fide study (hailing from the University of Oxford no less) has concluded that there are proven benefits to having a big bottom. Yes, J-Los of the world rejoice because a generous booty means you may well be healthier and smarter than your less endowed peers.
According to an article in Elite Daily, research indicates that women with bigger bums have lower cholesterol levels, and their hormones are better at metabolizing sugar, which means they are less likely to have diabetes or heart problems.
Further, women with big butts tend to have increased levels of Omega 3 fats, which "catalyze brain development."
The Oxford team analyzed data from 16,000 women, and its findings corroborate that of smaller studies undertaken by universities in California and Pittsburgh.
The bottom line: women with big bums, wide hips and small waists may not be able to squeeze into those skinny jeans, but we will live longer.
