8. Take a walk before dinner. It is believed that a walk in the fresh air stimulates the appetite. There is even an expression 'to work up an appetite'.

This way, you can trick your body: after a walk, even a small portion will seem adequate.

Moreover, nutritionists claim that you can't follow the same diet twice. Every time you gain weight again, it requires an adjustment of recommendations for weight reduction.

Japanese Scientists Near Treating Down Syndrome

Japanese scientists have almost learned to treat Down syndrome - they succeeded in completely removing the 47th chromosome. The CRISPR technology helped - it allows for targeted DNA modification, precisely removing the unnecessary.

The heart cannot think, but in love, logic or calculation is not required; it is the heart that decides.
