An Eyeful a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
Did you catch Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last week on TV? It was almost as risque’ as Dancing With The Stars, which happens to be my wife’s favorite program. This is why she didn’t seriously object to my watching the fashion show.
The hour-long program included musical performances by Seal and the Spice Girls, and for male viewers, featured supermodels Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr and Karolina Kurkova wearing the latest Victoria's Secret lingerie while walking the runway. The program highlighted 61 different outfits and two dozen models. It has become a network annual which surprisingly attracts more women than men, even though by a small margin.
The increasing popularity of this event comes as no surprise to me. According to a new study commissioned by my favorite newsletter, Unstable Sources, staring at scantily clad women is good for men’s health and adds to their longevity. It was discovered by researchers that a 10-minute ogle of such women is as healthy as half-an-hour at the gym. A five-year study of 200 men found that those who enjoyed a lingering look at a well-endowed female had more stable blood pressure, less heart disease and stronger pulse rates than those who didn’t get an eyeful.
Dr. Karen Weatherby, who carried out the study, wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine: “Just 10 minutes staring at a provocatively dressed woman is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobic workout. This kind of excitement improves blood circulation, and generally makes men healthier.”
Dr. Weatherby went on to say that her study indicates that engaging in this activity daily cuts the risk of heart attack and stroke by 50 percent.
“We believe that by doing so consistently,” she says, “the average man can extend his live four to five years.”
On the down side, there is speculation that the study along with the recent TV exposure (if you’ll pardon the expression) is at least partially responsible for the recent increase in men being arrested at Broadway Square for loitering in front of Victoria’s Secret’s show windows.
A question to ponder:
What would happen if you were walking down the street and your eyeglass prescription ran out?
