So, according to a study, women with a low waist-hip ratio have better scores in conginitve tests. Not only women but also their children. The expression “low waist-hip ratio” means normal hips and a tiny waist, or a normal waist and gigorgeous hips.

Across all cultures and ethnic groups, men have always preferred women with large hips. One of the authors of the study explains that the reason for this lies in the traditional idea that large hips are a sign of high fertility. However, this study was looking for a different reason.

Apparently, the fat stored near the bum and hips is rich in LCPUFAs [long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids], specifically the DHA omega-3 [omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid]. The DHA is probably better known as an ingredient for artificial baby milks. The DHA is essential for the brain development of fetus and newborns. It is estimated that the IQ of a child increases 0.13 points for each 100mg of extra DHA daily intake during pregnancy.

That means Einstein-grade babies if you’re Alicia Keys or Beyoncé Knowles.

Coincidence or not, the humans, intellectually superior to all other animals, are the only species with a difference in the fat deposits between genders. And don’t forget that this difference only shows when women become fertile. Could this be a biological advantage for creating smarter babies?

You’re probably dying to know what is the perfect waist-hip ratio.. well.. the truth is that there isn’t one. Artists suggest some values, but these are quite flexible. In my part-time quest for translation beauty to numbers, I found one perfect value for ME. Strangely, it happens to be 1.618 – the Golden Ration – or Phi!

Here you go, three comparisons between waist and hips. The red line is the actual waist measure and the blue line is the supposed measure for a perfect ratio of 1.618. Make your own conclusions.


The study is called "Waist-hip ratio and cognitive ability: is gluteofemoral fat a privileged store of neurodevelopmental resources?” and was published in 2007 by William Lassek and Steven Gaulin.

Here I am in all my glory. My friends that visit my blog's all said I needed to loose the picture I had on my blog. That it look nothing like me, so I finally had someone take a picture of me and it turned out to look like me. Hurry!!!
Most of the pictures that are taken of me look nothing like me or, they are so bad I keep them. So I have a lot of bad pictures of me.
Now this picture does look like me.Thank god I finally took a good one.

Diät und Abnehmen, zwei der schlimmsten Wörter aber leider auch Wörter, die immer wieder ins Gedächtnis gerufen werden. Spätestens dann wenn die Hose nicht mehr locker sitzt oder wenn man sich einfach nicht mehr wohlfühlt in seiner Haut.
Dann gehörte ich jetzt nämlich auch zu den Leuten, die sich wieder mehr daraf konzentrieren das richtige zu essen und zum richtigen Zeitpunkt zu essen. Denn ich habe gemerkt, dass zu spätes Essen einfach schlecht ist. Das Problem an der Sache ist, das der Körper dann eher zur Ruhe kommt und nicht mehr richtig verdaut, dann werden schon mal Reserven angelegt. Reserven, die ich nicht brauche. :)

Beauty pageants are not dead. They are back, stronger than ever. The controversy surrounding them has subsided, and the darkness has dissipated in the dawn of a new online reality. Talent shows breed web communities and beauty pageants can really amplify corporate social media initiatives.



The Search For Miss Teen Canada - World is the first to adopt social media into the very core of its existence and become in one sense, a digital beauty pageant. Right now fifty two teenage girls from across Canada are blogging about their preparations to come to Toronto and compete in person at the John Bassett Theatre in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Saturday July 25th 2009.

The contestant blog army is a very potent weapon that pageant organizers can use to
 1) advertise their website and related events
  2) promote spoonsors and charity as they communicate with the public in a whole new way.

This year, for the first time in history, all of the Miss Teen Canada finalists, selected from all over Canada, are blogging about their experience at the pageant on their own On Sugar blogs. Anyone can go and read these free blogs, and you will find links to them in the contestant profiles on the MTC-W website under the tab marked, MTC-W Finalists.




















Here are some of the contestant's blogs:

Ich finde das ist der schlimmste Tag, der Woche. Nichts ist wirklich planbar und ich bin immer voll hinterher. Mein Make up will nie so richtig, die Haare liegen grundsätzlich nicht und eigentlich würde ich mich am liebsten unter einer riesen Mütze verstecken. Aber dann wüsste gleich jeder das, dass mein persönlicher schrecklicher Montag ist. Vielleicht sollte die Woche mit einem anderen Start beginnen, aber ich weiss partou nicht wie.
