Scientists have explained how exposure to luxuries like designer watches, expensive cars and horse riding is associated with dramatically better health.

“Why this disparate range of products, services and choices should deliver big health benefits was a complete mystery,” says researcher Tom Phillips, who thought of an explanation.

Phillips’s study is the first to propose a single biological mechanism for the long running luxuries effect. One paper suggested jodhpur-compression reduces haemorrhage risk.

“Luxury goods are often seen as frivolous extras, but this work shows that they should rightly be seen as essentials to good health,” said the Jodhpur Manufacturers’ Association.
