Ladies you may or may NOT like this but a new study out of the University of Southern Queensland in Australia found that a big secret to keeping men healthy is . . . a BIG, SEXY BEARD. 

Here's why . . .

#1.)  Beards protect your face from the sun.  Men with beards . . . or bearded ladies in carnivals . . . are exposed to 30% fewer UV rays on their faces.

#2.)  Beards can trap allergens that might cause asthma attacks.

#3.)  They keep water from leaving your skin, which keeps it moisturized . . . and makes a person's face AGE more slowly.

#4.)  They raise your neck temperature, which helps fight colds.
