Women with bigger bums are healthier and smarter, study says

Good news for those with a big behind!

If you’ve got a big booty, then we’ve got some good news for you!

Results from a recent study conducted by the University of Oxford suggest that ladies with a bigger behind are smarter and healthier.

The study, which examined 16,000 women, found that the women with larger bums were less likely to get a chronic illness and had lower levels of glucose and cholesterol.

Konstantinos Manolopoulous, researcher of the study, suggests the reason for this is a healthy amount of lower body fat – that’s right!

“The idea that body fat distribution is important to health has been known for some time,” he said.

“However, it is only very recently that thigh fat and a large hip circumference have been shown to promote health; that lower body fat is protective by itself.”

I guess this is where Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez pop the champagne!
