Good Housekeeping published an article about the relationship between certain women body parts and their connection to overall health and well-being: Will you live longer? Are you prone to cardiovascular diseases?
For example, if you have a diagonal crease in your earlobe, then perhaps you may be at risk of developing a heart disorder. In one study, E. A. Morrison and the rest of the team studied more than 300 dead bodies. Their medical records such as whether they had been heart disorders or diabetes had been analysed along with their sex, height, and of course the presence or lack of diagonal creases in their earlobes. More than 200 of them had diagonal creases, and from this number, over 70% of them had cardiovascular disease.
If you have a smaller waist, meanwhile, you may enjoy a longer lifespan. But this could be explained by the relationship between central obesity and your overall health. Abdominal or visceral fat is different from other types of fat in the body, which are described to be subcutaneous (or just underneath the surface of the skin). The one in the belly is active, even acting like a gland by secreting biochemicals that can alter or affect the production and activities of the hormones. For this reason, obesity is now being linked to cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and, lately, cancer. Women who are obese are at a higher risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer even after menopause.
Central obesity can occur even on men and women who have normal weight.
For those who have thicker thighs, you may want to appreciate them as it could mean your risk of developing a heart disorder is reduced. The build-up of muscle mass means you burn more calories and use insulin more effectively (muscle consumes more calories than fat). The opposite effect is believed to happen to women with skinny thighs.
