An age old dilemma, – which is more powerful and important \u2013 brains or beauty?\u00a0 Would you rather be hideously ugly and brilliant, or stunningly beautiful and unable to carry a conversation?<\/p>\n
Of course none of us really wants to be either of those things.\u00a0 We want to be brilliant and stunningly beautiful.\u00a0 And rich.\u00a0 And happy.\u00a0 And living on an island with a cabana boy named Juan who fulfills our every desire\u2026<\/p>\n
Maybe that part is just me.<\/p>\n
We have all been lead to believe that we should want it all and that we can get it all and if we don\u2019t want and have it all, there is something wrong with us.\u00a0 However, I now have some scientific proof that the choice between brains and beauty is more real than you may have thought!<\/p>\n
In late April, the Wall Street Journal published an article, entitled \u201cA Case for those Extra 10 Pounds\u201d<\/a>, that said that, while the recommendations are to control calories and make healthy diet choices, it seems that there is actually some benefit that comes from being 10-15 pounds overweight.\u00a0 A little extra weight can lead to a lower risk of osteoporosis and even make you look younger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bring on the ice cream!<\/p>\n
