Science Pinpoints How Your Butt Influences Your Overall Attractiveness

Science Pinpoints How Your Butt Influences Your Overall Attractiveness Your butt does not exist in a vacuum.  (Photo:  Shutterstock ) Your shapely derriere alone isn’t what makes you attractive, or so suggests a new study. “Most previous work on attractiveness focused on the effect of isolated features,” explains Canada’s Queen’s University professor Nikolaus Troje. As he and two German researchers explain in a study published in Evolution & Human Behavior , “evolutionary psychology states that sexual attractiveness has evolved to assess the reproductive qualities of a potential mate"—and as such, past studies have looked at individual traits that have ties to things like fertility.  In their study, the researchers set out with the hypothesis that attractiveness doesn’t just stem from those parts but from "the consistency of the whole appearance.” A press release explains the set-up: Participants viewed “schematic point-ligh...

13 Weird Noises Your Body Makes and What They Really Mean

Image
From the rumbling in your tummy to the popping of a joint, the human body produces a curious symphony of sounds. Most are perfectly normal (if slightly embarrassing). But in some cases, they can be alarm bells. “It’s the context that helps you figure out if a particular noise is worrisome,” explains internist Kurt Hafer, MD, clinical assistant professor of medicine at Stanford School of Medicine. Here, Dr. Hafer and other experts reveal when a gurgle, burp, queef or toot is a cause for concern—or just a giggle. Whistling in your nose Whistling is a sign of airflow obstruction and may mean excess mucus is lining your nasal passages. Clear things out with a decongestant (if you’ve got a cold) or an antihistamine (for allergies). When to worry: If you suffered a nasal trauma, whistling may indicate a tear in the cartilage between the nostrils, repairable by an ENT or plastic surgeon.
