Scarlett Johansson's figure is an asset more ways than one. US research has found women with hourglass figures are more likely to be intelligent and to have brighter children, too. After examining data from 16,000 women and their children, researches from the universities of Pittsburgh and California concluded that women with shapely hips and thighs scored higher on intelligence tests than women with more linear figures. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as DHA, necessary for brain growth, are stored around the hips and thighs; the researches believe carrying a little extra in these areas may be a good thing. "Women with small tummies and big hips and thighs have more of what it takes to build brains, and thus tend to be smarter and have smarter children," says study co-author Professor Steven Gaulin from the University of California, Santa Barbara. "This hip and thigh fat is primarily metabolised in the thired trimester of pregnancy and lactation, when babies' brains are being built."
At least I'm feeling much more better after reading this article,ha. Big hips and thighs are always my problems, especially in choosing a jean. It could hardly fit in both my waist and my bottom part, that's why it turns to 30 inches of jeans appear in my wardrobe =.= Okay, it seems like your body figure does not mean everything in your life, those are not gonna last forever. However, I do wish I have a good body figure, which can have me fit in clothes nicely =p.
