Men's Health tip

Breasts are Healthy

An Eyeful a day keeps the doctor away*

Staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and makes them live longer, a new survey reveals.

Researchers have discovered that a 10-minute ogle at women's breasts is as healthy as a half-an-hour in the gym.

A five-year study of 200 men found that those who enjoyed a longing look a busty beauties had lower blood pressure, less heart disease and slower pulse-rates compared to those who did not get their daily eyeful.

Dr. Karen Weatherby, who carried out the German study, wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine: "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics workout.

"Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation.

"There is no question that gazing at breasts makes men healthier.

"Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of a stroke and heart attack in half.

"We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years."

She added that sexy stars like Dolly Parton, Heather Locklear and Demi Moore had proved to be especially good for the men's health.

*WARNING: There is a good chance that this is an urban myth. Searches on the NEJM website don't reveal any such study; on the other hand, they charge a subscription fee for deep access to files, and really don't post very much on the net. I found the article in a newspaper many years ago, not on the internet. This doesn't make it any truer, just older. If it isn't true, it should be.
