Forgotten something? Well now women have a new excuse for forgetfulness – blame it on your hips…
If you do want to keep your marbles as you age, it’s best to stick to a healthy weight. But if you do pile on the pounds, better to have a bulging belly than a big bum – at least as far as memory is concerned.
