An interesting study but I don't think many men need to be prodded to take this advice. http://www.themedguru.com/20091206/newsfeature/stare-boobs-longer-life-study-86131320.html Stare at boobs for longer life: Study Frankfurt, Germany, December 6 -- A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy. According to Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at women’s breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years. She added, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out." A five-year research on 500 men Researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany did an in-depth analysis of 200 healthy males over a period of five years. Half the volunteers were instructed to ogle at the breasts of women daily, while the rest were told to refrain from doing so. At the close of the study, the researchers noted that the men who stared at the breasts of females on a regular basis exhibited lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery [a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body.] disease. Sexual desire linked to better blood circulation The researchers declared that sexual desire gives rise to better blood circulation that signifies an overall improved health. Weatherby explained the concept stating, "Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthy. "Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years." In addition, she also recommended that men over 40 should gaze at larger breasts daily for 10 minutes. The German research is believed to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Wow...this is supposed to be a medical article? And they can't even get their basic anatomy right? (Unless they were defining 'artery' instead of 'coronary artery,' which is what they should have defined)
Great. I've been trying to live a more healthy lifestyle anyway. Going to have to increase my viewing time. :grin:
Which group did they consider the control group, the ogglers or the ones that refrained? It's believed to be published there? How do they not know? And the research sounds like complete bs anyway. EDIT: A search in the NEJM website for the author's name got no hits.
This has been presented before, and is over a decade old. http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/breasts.asp
Lets hope that more than 24 hours of aerobics work-out every day is not too unhealthy. EDIT -- damn you internet sleuths. Guess my over-exercising fears have been resolved, but, as Judoka noted, we should keep....ummm...looking at this.
Internet Boobs count too?! Awesome. Going to run a Half Marathon soon better get to training. 30 minute hooter watchin' to start. Better to start off slow, work my way up; I don't wanna over exert myself.
