"Curvaceous women live longer"
" Curvy women are healthier than their waif-like counterparts, scientific research has claimed.

Danish scientists found women were more likely to live longer and have healthier hearts if they had hourglass figures like actresses Jennifer Lopez and Sophia Loren. "

5. Lopez is curvaceous?
News to me. The butt thing is just hype that perpetuates racial stereotypes. She's skinny.

13. Compared to the "norm" in Hollywood she is considered
curvy. Compared to the real world, not so much.

She's gotten rather skinny as of late.

7. If you're in a healthy weight range, that's the ticket.
The women that the media considers "fat" are in a healthy weight range. Very slim women can be healthy too, but they are at higher risk for osteoporosis down the road. Often in elderly women, it leads to hip fractures and a downward health spiral. :(

If my curves lead to good health, all the better because I don't have much of a choice. I take care of myself and try to be my healthiest self, but that's just how nature made me. I spent an awful lot of effort trying not to be too curvaceous.

9. As a short Caucasian woman, I'm at a pretty high risk
for osteoporosis. That's one of the reasons I exercise six days a week, take a calcium supplement, and lift weights. Lifting weights is one of the best things we can do to prevent osteoporosis. I don't want to be afraid of brittle bones later.

12. I'm going to start the Body for Life for Women program
for the same reason. I am a rather short woman who is afraid of osteoporosis. I also have diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and various other little nasties running around my family tree. I decided that 30 was a great time to start worrying about it. I want to be one of those 90 year old women that I still see walking laps at the track every single day.

8. Well, I couldn't give myself an hourglass figure if I tried.
Once a pear, always a pear, no matter how heavy or how thin.

11. Goody!
I have boobs and butt and, no matter how much I starved and exercised could never get rid of them.
Now I know that I am considered healthy.

14. mmmmmmmmmm....... curvaceous
Give me a woman with curves any day of the week. Better yet, give me a woman who's comfortable with her body image, curves or not. In fact, if there's any of you out there and you like sensitive, caring non-macho, intelligent men-- well, you know..... :evilgrin:
