There’s a new study that will make every curvy woman so happy.
According to scientists, women with big booties are more likely to produce intelligent children. This is because the so-called ‘fat banks’ play a big role in the development of the babies’ brains during the breast-feeding stage. The fat in the woman’s behind acts as a storage area for vital nutrients
A public health epidemiologist at Pittsburgh, Professor Will Lassek, said that the fat in these areas of the body are enriched in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which is a very vital component in the human brain.
“It looks as if women have evolved to accumulate these fats and hold on to them – until a baby arrives,” he said
The professor who is also the author of the book Why Women Need Fat stated that it has always been a mystery why women contain so much body fat.
He also added that while mammals and primates typically have around 5%-10% body fat, a female human has about 30% on average.
“Women have traded muscle for fat so they are about a third as strong.”
To explain further, Prof Lassek said,
During nursing, the ‘fat bank’ is mobilised so the DHA stored there becomes available for the growing brain.About 80 percent of the DHA needed by a baby’s brain comes from a mother’s stored fat. Less than one percent of body fat is DHA so a lot of fat has to be shifted. That’s why lactating women may lose a pound of fat a month.
Another study made by reproductive biologist David Bainbridge revealed that the latest findings could explain why men find curvy women like Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Nicki Minaj very attractive.
