What is the perfect waist-to-hip ratio for women?

Waist-to-hip ratio is one of the indicators that can be used to identify central obesity. The smaller the waist-to-hip ratio, the thinner the waist, the fuller the hips, and the better the body shape; it also means the lower the level of visceral fat and the healthier the body; the larger the waist-to-hip ratio, the more obvious the distribution of body fat in the abdomen, indicating a greater health risk.

A study by a psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin found that a woman's body shape affects the intelligence of her offspring. The scientific research basis is that the difference between a woman's waist and buttocks is large (the waist circumference is much larger than the hip circumference), which is commonly known as reducing the belly and fattening the buttocks. The waist-to-hip ratio is most ideal when it is between 0.6 and 0.7, which has a direct impact on one's own health, fertility, and even the brain development of the fetus.

In fact, it is also easy to understand that when a woman's waist-to-hip ratio is small, it means that the butt is big and the lower body is strong, and she is healthy; while if the waist-to-hip ratio is too high, there is too much abdominal fat, which is easy to cause diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, stroke, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, which will put her own health at risk, not to mention giving birth to and raising healthy children.

In addition, studies have shown that a smaller waist-to-hip ratio is more beneficial to the fetal brain development. The basis is that women with a small waist-to-hip ratio have a high content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fat (DHA) in their blood, which can improve the neurological function of women and fetuses and is an indispensable nutrient for the brain development of fetuses. The fat in the waist is omega-6 acid, which is not conducive to the brain development of the fetus and may also cause heart disease and diabetes.

Some scholars have studied the relationship between women's waist-to-hip ratio and their offspring's intelligence. After eliminating the influence of factors such as race, educational background, and family income, the data showed that children of women with a low waist-to-hip ratio (big buttocks, fat buttocks, and plump thighs) scored higher in IQ tests. Therefore, women with big buttocks and fat bodies give birth to smarter and more intelligent children.

The role of women in the family is very important. Their personality, knowledge, upbringing, health, body shape and other aspects all affect their offspring to a great extent. Therefore, creating an elegant body shape is not only of great help to one's own health and career development, but will also pass on many benefits to the next generation.
