What physical defects can lead to a long life?

As the saying goes: No gold is pure, and no one is perfect. No one is perfect, and everyone has some "defects" in their body. But in fact, some defects can make you healthier and live longer. Today, I will tell you that these ten physical defects can actually lead to a long life. Let’s take a look!

1. Small spine in the chest is good

People often use "Princess Taiping" to describe women with smaller breasts. However, a recent study in Türkiye found that women with large breasts are more likely to have spinal curvature, which in turn causes back pain, than women with smaller breasts. The risk is greater if the breast size is larger than a D cup.

A study conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that 50% of 179 women with breast size D cup or greater experienced persistent upper back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain or lower back pain. After surgery, 10% of people still experience pain symptoms.

Additionally, a study from the University of Vienna found that small breasts are 24% more sensitive than large breasts. Theoretically, with smaller breasts, it takes less time for sensitive nerves to travel from the nipple to the brain, making them more sensitive.

2. Oily skin has fewer wrinkles

Women in Asian countries such as China, Korea and Japan have better skin compared to European women. Korean dermatologists pointed out that in addition to factors such as lifestyle, balanced diet and skin cleansing habits, genetic factors are also very critical.

Most Asian women have less dryness and chapped skin types due to their oily skin. People with oily skin also develop wrinkles 4 years and 2 years later than those with dry skin and neutral skin, respectively.

Oily skin is more prone to troubles such as acne, but this also shows that the skin's metabolism rate is fast and the dermis tissue cells have a stronger regeneration ability.

3. People with more moles live longer

Many people think that moles are unsightly "blemishes" on the body. However, researchers from the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries conducted a 10-year follow-up survey on more than 2,000 participants aged 18 to 79 (including more than 900 pairs of twins).

The results showed that the more moles a person has, the slower their aging process. Based on the average of 30 moles per person, every additional 25 moles will make you look 2 to 3 years younger than your actual age.

New analysis by scientists at King's College London shows a link between the number of moles and the length of telomeres at the ends of chromosomes. The longer the telomeres, the longer the lifespan. People with more than 100 moles on their bodies have telomeres that are 6 to 7 years longer than those with less than 25 moles.

4. Thick ankles make walking more stable

The so-called thick ankles refer to the fact that the calves and ankles are so fat that there is no obvious boundary. American podiatrist Mike O'Neill said that thick ankles are lined with soft fatty tissue, which indicates that the Achilles tendon is healthier and the structure of the feet and lower limbs is intact, thus helping to maintain body balance and walk more steadily.

Other studies have found that women with more fat in the lower body are healthier. Professor Wendy Colt of the University of Colorado said that women may do more harm than good by reducing lower body fat through liposuction and other means, especially because it is more likely to cause an increase in mid-abdominal fat.
