Six Things You Don’t Know About Your Butt

 

Here are six things you probably don’t know about your BUTT . . .

 

1. Your butt muscles are the largest muscles in your body​.

 

 

2. Women have bigger butts than men because of estrogen. ​ Men’s bodies tell their fat to go to their stomachs . . . women’s estrogen directs it to their butts.

 

 

3. You can get skin cancer on your butt even if it’s covered. Skin cancer can appear on unlikely places like between your fingers and toes, on your underarms, your butt, and even your GENITALS.

 

 

4. There’s a word for being attracted to butts. It’s pygophilia.

 

 

5. A big butt is linked to intelligence. According to a University of Oxford study, being a woman with a big butt was linked to being more intelligent, supposedly due to having more omega-3 fats which help with brain development.

 

 

6. Your big butt also makes you less likely to get sick. That same University of Oxford study ​found that women with bigger butts are less likely to get diabetes and heart disease, even though those two things are usually associated with obesity.

Six Places You Forget to Put Sunscreen

 

 

Planning on tanning any time soon? Here are the six most common places people forget to put sunscreen . . .

 

1. Your ears. They’re just easy to forget about. A lot of people also neglect the area around their eyes, because they don’t want to get sunscreen in them. Which is why sunglasses are a good idea.

 

 

2. Your left arm when you’re driving. You can get a sunburn if you hang your arm out the window, even if you’re just driving for 20 minutes.

 

 

3. Your scalp. Bald guys are better about it, because obviously THEY need sunblock on their head. But you can get burned even if you have a lot of hair. So you should rub some sunblock in, or wear a hat.

 

 

4. Your lips. If you don’t have lip balm with SPF, you can use regular sunblock, and pay special attention to your LOWER lip. You’re 12 times more likely to get skin cancer there than you are on your upper lip.

 

 

5. The tops of your feet. You might remember to put sunblock on them when you’re at the pool or something. But you should also put some on if you’re planning to walk around all day in flip-flops

 

 

6. Your back, because you have to ask someone else to do it. And obviously it’s hard to reach, so you end up missing spots if you do it yourself.

Six Ways to Make Food Last Longer

photo: simplyscratch.com

 

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average family of four throws away $1,500 worth of food every year. Here are six types of food, and how you can make them last longer . . .

1. Onions. Keep them in the refrigerator in a paper bag, and they’ll last more than two weeks.

 

 

2. Hard cheese. Take it out of the plastic it came in, and wrap it in parchment paper and tin foil. Parchment paper is the stuff you use for baking. It can last for months. And if it gets moldy, just cut away an inch of cheese around the moldy spot.

 

 

3. Apples. They’ll last ten times longer if you keep them in the coldest, most humid part of your fridge. That’s usually the bottom drawer.

 

 

4. Potatoes. Don’t throw them away just because they grow sprouts. Just break the sprouts off. Potatoes actually tend to be sweeter after sprouts have grown on them.

 

 

5. Lettuce. Put it in a plastic bag . . . poke about ten holes in it . . . and it should last about four times longer.

 

 

6. Milk and dairy. Bring a cooler or an insulated bag with you when you go shopping. Or just make it the last thing you put in your shopping cart. The shelf life for dairy products goes way down if they’re exposed to heat, even if it’s just for an hour.

Four Side Effects of Sleeping on Your Back, Side, and Stomach

 

Do you sleep on your back, your side, or your stomach? Whichever one it is, there are specific consequences you might not know about. Here are four side effects that have to do with the way you sleep . . .

1. Sleeping on your stomach can cause back pain, because your spine isn’t supported. And it makes you sleep with your head turned to one side, which is hard on your neck.

 

 

2. If you sleep on your back, you’re more likely to snore. But as long as you don’t prop your head up with too many pillows, it’s better for your spine than sleeping on your side or your stomach.

 

 

3. Sleeping on your left side puts more strain on your internal organs, including your liver, lungs, and stomach. Doctors usually tell pregnant women to sleep on their left side though, because it increases circulation to the baby.

 

 

4. Sleeping on your right side can cause heartburn. It’s not clear why, but several studies have found you’re more likely to wake up with heartburn if you fall asleep on your right side, opposed to your left.

 

 

Regardless of how you sleep, using an extra pillow for support can help. If you sleep on your back, put it under the arch of your spine . . . if you’re a side sleeper, put it between your knees . . . and if you’re on your stomach, put it right under your hips.

The Eight Worst Things You Can Eat for Breakfast

 

The website EatThis.com put together a list of the worst things you can have for breakfast, in different categories. So, things like the least healthy cereal, and worst fast food breakfast sandwich. Here’s the list . . .

1. Worst cereal: Honey Smacks. One bowl has 15 grams a sugar, which is more than Frosted Flakes or Cap’n Crunch. And it’s coated in partially hydrogenated oil, which has trans fat.

 

 

2. Worst donut: Dunkin’ Donuts Blueberry Butternut. It has 35 grams of sugar, and 420 calories, which is more than any other donut on the menu.

 

 

3. Worst breakfast burrito: Taco Bell’s A.M. Crunchwrap with Sausage. 710 calories and 47 grams of fat.

 

 

Unless you’re eating a whole 12-pack of their Cinnabon dessert things, the A.M. Crunchwrap has more fat than anything else on the menu.

 

 

4. Worst fast food breakfast sandwich: The Monster Biscuit from Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. It has as much fat and calories as the A.M. Crunchwrap, but TWICE as much salt.

 

 

5. Worst breakfast that SOUNDS healthy: A Dunkin’ Donuts Multigrain Bagel with Reduced Fat Strawberry Cream Cheese. It’s 500 calories, has 17 grams of fat, and is pretty much nothing but carbs.

 

 

6. Worst pancakes: Denny’s Peanut Butter Cup Pancake Breakfast. They’re stuffed with chocolate, and have hot fudge and peanut butter on top. You also get sausage, eggs, and hash browns, so it’s 1,670 calories, with 105 grams of fat.

 

 

7. Worst omelette: The Chorizo Fiesta Omelette at IHOP. 1,300 calories and106 grams of fat. And you can add pancakes, which is another 700 calories.

 

 

8. Worst overall breakfast: The Cheesecake Factory’s Bruleéd French Toast. It has 2,780 calories, and as much saturated fat as six cheeseburgers from Sonic.
