Ladies, we have some interesting news to share!

Apparently, women with bigger bums are smarter and healthier than those with small bums.

Who knew?

A study by Oxford University found that those with bigger behinds were “more resistant to chronic illness” and also more intelligent.

The women who had a bigger bums had lower cholesterol and glucose levels, and higher levels of Omega 3 fatty acids.

All good things, folks.

Lead researcher on the study, Dr. Konstantinos Manolopoulous, said:

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

“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.”

Great news for those of us with significant backsides.
