Aside from their obvious role in a woman’s sexual attractiveness, bigger butts aren’t usually thought of as beneficial. In fact, negative connotations outnumber the positive. Women who flaunt their bottoms are labeled as promiscuous. Larger buttocks are taken as a sign that a woman is overweight and not taking care of herself. Well, admirers of a shapely rear rejoice: several studies have concluded that a large butt means you’re not only healthier, but smarter too. Evolution has worked in your favor. Here’s the breakdown on the benefits of your big booty.
Do you benefit from having a big behind? Let us know in the comments!
It keeps you from developing chronic illness. Women with bigger butts had lower cholesterol and higher metabolisms than their flat-bottomed counterparts. Big butts require an excess of Omega-3s which fortify your heart, eyes, and nervous system. This means a reduced risk for heart disease and diabetes. Omega-3s are typically found in fish, nuts and seeds. And your butt.
It makes you smarter. This excess of healthy fats has also been linked to increased brain performance and a lower incidence of depression. This can preserve your cognitive abilities like memory. It also fights diseases like Alzheimer’s and bipolar disorder.
It also makes your kids smarter. The fats that go into your breast milk are drawn from the lower body. Your big smart butt is feeding your nursing children all the smarts they need. Children of big-bottomed ladies are proven to be intellectually superior.
It makes you scientifically attractive to men. As if being smart and healthy didn’t already you make you quite a catch. Studies suggest that men have evolved to love big behinds because it ensures the success of their children. Your booty promises kids that are as healthy and smart as you.
It regulates your weight all over. Interestingly enough, your big butt is actually slimming. Basically, wide behinds are linked to increased levels of leptin, a hormone that inhibits hunger. Your butt is keeping you thin!
It insulates you. One type of fatty tissue in your butt cushions and insulates your body from external factors, so it can keep you warm and safe. Like your own personal furnace.
It protects your muscles. The muscles running down the back of your legs are sensitive and prone to injury. A big behind can pick up the slack for strenuous exercises such as heavy lifting.
It’s a nutrient reserve. Another kind of fatty tissue actually stores energy for times of hunger or exercise. Your butt is actually helping you with those lunges at the gym.
It makes you more empathetic. Studies show that women develop emotional intelligence and feelings of empathy around the same time they develop curves. Scientists suggest that this is because big-bottomed women needed greater social skills to select a man from the horde of booty-starers.
It helps you run faster. Women with fuller backsides have an easier time climbing steps, running, and generally exerting their lower bodies. That’s because the gluteus maximus is the most important muscle in lower body function.
It makes pregnancy a little easier. A larger backside helps you to counterbalance the weight of your baby bump. This can reduce strain on your spine. But it can’t do away with the pain of labor, unfortunately.
It corrects your posture. Your big butt helps to lengthen your hip muscles, and keep your body aligned. Long periods of inactivity or sitting can stiffen your hips and hurt your posture. A big butt prevents your hips from tightening up in harmful ways.
You’ll have a greater life expectancy. Similar studies done by universities in Pittsburgh and California suggest that women with wider hips, smaller waists and bigger glutes have a longer life. Long live the booty!
This only applies to real butts. Unfortunately, these findings only refer to biological bums. Butt implants haven’t exhibited such magical characteristics.
