Does having an hourglass figure mean you're more intelligent?

In our thin-obsessed society, being curvy isn't exactly seen as a good thing, but according to recent studies, it puts you at an advantage in one respect at least: Recent research shows that curvier women are smarter, and they have smarter kids, too.

It all comes down to high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the extra padding around the hips and waist of women with a hourglass figure. Not only are omega-3s good for a woman's own brain power, but they're essential to the development of baby's brain during pregnancy.

So next time you loathe your curves, consider this study and count yourself lucky.
