Love The Body

WISHING FOR A SMALLER BUM, OR GISELE'S HEIGHT? STOP WISHING AND BE GRATEFUL FOR THE SKIN YOU'RE IN, AS IT COULD VERY WELL SAVE YOUR LIFE.

Body wish #1: Light-coloured eyes.
Wish not, why? Darker eyes have more melanin, a pigment that blocks the sun's harmful UV radiation. This means that darker brown-eyes girls stand a better chance against developing ocular melanoma, a type of eye cancer. Try coloured contact lenses if you must.

Body wish #2: Less junk in your trunk.
Wish not, why? If you are booty-blessed, find solace in the fact that your bigger bum protects you against type 2 diabetes. The experts believe that the type of fat that accumulates on your bum and thighs produces substances that improve the body's ability to process sugar.

Body wish #3: Long limbs.
Wish not, why? So you're not towering like Gisele, but guess what? You'll have less chances of ticker troubles. Women shorter than five feet five inches (165.1 cm) have a more efficient heart against disease. Nonetheless, tiny or tall, you should eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
