For women, having a big butt 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 a larger buttocks, congratulations! Here are some of the advantages 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 whose buttocks appear more prominent. Generally men like women whose spine curves about 45 degrees at the top of their buttocks.
Research led by David Lewis, now a psychologist from Bilkent University in Turkey, revealed that the degree of curvature of these women allows women to shift their center of weight back up their hips while pregnant.
"Women who have a large buttocks with a curvature of the spine of about 45.5 degrees, when carrying the baby in his stomach, he will not have the risk of spinal injury when compared to women whose spine is normal," said Lewis.
The risk of developing heart disease and diabetes is lower
A study conducted by a number of researchers from the University of Oxford, England, as quoted from AskMen, revealed that women with bigger buttocks are usually more immune to chronic disease.
Dr. Michael Jensen, director of endocrine research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, says that if your body has excess fat, it's better if the excess fat is stored in the lower part of the body than in the upper abdomen.
"If you look at people who have a pear-like shape, 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," said Jensen.
Fat in the buttocks is good fat
Doctor and spokesperson for the American College of Sports Medicine, Pamela M. Peeke, MD, said that the fat in the buttocks is good fat. Unlike white fat which is in the intestines and around the organs and can cause inflammation, high blood pressure, and disease, big buttocks have a lot of yellow fat, which is good fat.
Cholesterol levels are safe
Those of you who have big buttocks are very lucky, because researchers have found that big buttocks are associated with safe cholesterol levels, which means a lower risk of developing chronic disease. Women with big buttocks and smaller waists have higher levels of HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol that helps your arteries clean) and lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol that can block arteries).
Big buttocks form a healthier posture
Dr. Peeke explains that a tense pelvis is the result of sitting for too long and can make it difficult to stand up straight. However, a strong butt can help lengthen your pelvic flexors and keep your posture aligned, as well as help relieve pain from bad sitting and standing positions.
