For women, having a big ass can be considered a gift. But behind the aesthetic benefits, big buttocks also have a number of health benefits.
If you are a woman with a healthy weight and buttocks that tend to be bigger, congratulations! Here are some of the benefits that you have.
Avoid the risk of spinal cord injury during pregnancy
As reported WebMD, a study from the University of Texas revealed that men are more attracted to women who have a more prominent buttocks. Generally men like women whose spine curves around 45 degrees at the top of their buttocks.
The study, led by David Lewis, who is now a psychologist from Bilkent University in Turkey, revealed that the degree of curvature of the woman allows women to shift their center of weight back to the top of their hips while pregnant.
"Women who have large buttocks with a curvature of the spine of about 45.5 degrees, when carrying a baby in their stomach, they will not have the risk of spinal cord injury if compared to women with normal spine," Lewis said.
The risk of developing heart disease and diabetes is smaller
A study conducted by a number of researchers from the University of Oxford, England was quoted as saying AskMen, revealing that women with larger butts are usually more immune from chronic diseases.
Dr. Michael Jensen, director of endocrine research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota said, if your body is overweight, it would be better if the excess fat is stored in the lower part of the body compared to the abdomen upwards.
"If you see people who have pear-like shapes, they usually tend to be healthier than people whose body fat is at the top. Not only does it reduce the risk of heart attack or diabetes, the location of these fat deposits is also better at protecting our organs, "Jensen said.
Butt fat is good fat
Dokter and spokesman for the American College of Sports Medicine, Pamela M. Peeke, MD, said that the fat in the buttocks is good fat. Unlike white fat in the intestine and around the organs and can cause inflammation, high blood pressure, and disease, large buttocks have a lot of yellow fat, which is good fat.
Safe cholesterol level
Those of you who have big butts are very lucky, because the researchers found that big buttocks have a relationship with safe cholesterol levels, which means they have a low risk of chronic diseases. Women with large buttocks and smaller waists have higher HDL cholesterol levels (good cholesterol that helps your arteries clean) and lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol that can inhibit arteries).
Big butts form a healthier posture
Dr. Peeke explains that a tense pelvis is the result of sitting too long and can make it difficult for you to stand up straight. However, a strong butt can help extend your pelvic flexor and keep your posture in line, while helping to relieve pain due to bad sitting and standing positions.
