Curvy Women Give Birth To Smarter Children - Scientists

Scientists believe that the extra fat around women’s bums could help in the development of babies’ brains. A new study conducted by Amercian scientists claims that women’s curvy thighs, hips and buttocks increases the child’s intelligence. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh suggest that fat that is transferred to the baby through breastfeeding plays a vital role in the development of newborns’ brain.

Professor Will Lassek, who led the research, explained, “The fat in these areas is a depot for building a baby’s brain. You need lots of fat to make a nervous system, and the fats in these areas are also enriched in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which is a particularly important component in the human brain.


It looks as if women have evolved to accumulate these fats and hold on to them – until a baby arrives.” The latest findings could also explain why men find curvy women so attractive: it’s because their children are likely to be cleverer and such women are considered to be healthier.

And one more advantage of breastfeeding for women who keep their figure is – mothers who breast-feed typically lose half a kilo a month. Well, amazing study with amazing results!
