I rather enjoyed reading through the article on this study. There are some points that need to be cleared up, but that might be for another government grant and another study. Cherie brought this article to my attention, I thought Gator and she had finally finished their in-depth study, and this was their findings, but it seems they are still studying/researching. . .
STARE AT BOOBS FOR LONGER LIFE: A STUDY
(Yeah, longer life, sure, try staring when her overly large, in a fit way, boyfriend, brother, husband, fiancee, significant other is around)From: TheMedGuru by Neharika Sabharwal
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. (This is going to give a whole new depth of meaning to "exercise buddy".)
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."(and thinking of all the time I have wasted over my lifetime hiking, running, gym time, rather depressing)
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.
(obviously a control group of men who were to "ogle" other women's breasts only when their wives/girlfriends were with them was not in place for this study)
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. (All the wasted money spent on blood pressure pills, if I had only known.)
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. (So suddenly we went from staring at a woman's breast, one of the most wonderful works of art ever created, to having full blown [no pun intended] sexual desire? They must have edited out some of the study.)
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. (My bypass was so unnessary!)
(OH OH!! Another study!! Who has the grant forms? Question: Are short men healthier than tall men?)
"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." (I personally think that doing what Dr. Weatherby suggests could lessen a man's life time four to five years, takes a lot of energy out of you to recover from severe beatings.)
In addition, she also recommended that men over 40 should gaze at larger breasts daily for 10 minutes. (Why men over 40? and why larger breasts? Not everyman likes larger breasts, most men like all breasts!! Geez, I think I could have done a more scientific study!!)
The German research is believed to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine. (Believed to be??)
Just not the same healthy feeling is it???
