87. Why regain weight?



Ask any one who has been struggling to lose weight. He will say that it is difficult to lose weight but it is more difficult to keep it off! Why?

A person’s body has a set number of fat cells. This is determined either at birth or infancy. This number of cells remains constant (or may increase) throughout the person’s life. It can never ever be decreased.

“Set Point Theory” states that a person’s body is programmed to be in a certain weight range and the body will “fight tooth and nail” to remain in that range. During dieting a parson’s weight reduces visibly. But it always comes back–no matter how little he eats and how hard he works out in a gym. The body tries to retain its natural weight.

During serious dieting, the body learns to use efficiently the few calories available for its various functions. The body temperature may fall down and metabolism slowed down. When the body gets more calories than what it needs, it speeds up metabolism and even maintains higher body temperature, in an effort to burn off the extra calories.

It is possible to lose weight only be decreasing the size of the fat cells and not by decreasing their number. The brain always wants to trigger the body, to return the fat cells, to their original size. This means that the weight lost will be regained slowly and steadily.

There is no way of testing to find out a person’s set point. The best way to find it out is to eat normally and exercise moderately and regularly. Long years of futile dieting will throw the metabolism out of gear and it may take up to a year for the system to be restored and the body to return to its normal weight range.

Learning to accept the Set Theory will put an end to the vicious cycles of dieting with its “yoyo” effect. If we learn to accept people as they are, irrespective of their size, height and colour, the world will be a much better place to live in. People will be more relaxed, friendly and in better moods.

After all, being thin is not necessarily the same as being happy!

NASA experiments show how astronaut’s genes changed in space

Living in space for one year can change a lot about a person, including their DNA. For NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, his year spent living and working on the International Space Station made him more of an environmentalist and gave him a view of our planet that most people will never see in person. But beyond those shifts in perspective, Kelly's body may have changed in other ways. SEE ALSO: This astronaut just spent 340 days in space. Here's why it was worth it. According to preliminary data released by NASA, Kelly's genes, fine motor skills, microbiome and other aspects of his body were altered during the 340 days he spent in orbit from 2015 to 2016. Using Kelly's data to get to Mars Learning more about how a long trip to space affected Kelly is particularly important because NASA is aiming to send humans to Mars in the next two decades, a mission that would require astronauts to live in the weightlessness of space for several months while traveling to and from the red planet's surface. One experiment, which was performed when Kelly and his year-in-space partner Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko got back to Earth, simulated various tasks astronauts may have to perform when they first arrive on Mars. Scott Kelly looks at a tablet in his quarters on the Space Station. Image: nasa Kelly and Kornienko appeared to have the hardest time with tasks involving "postural control and stability and muscle dexterity," according to a NASA statement. This makes sense if you think about it: The two Space Station crewmembers were living in weightlessness for nearly a year. After that, you probably wouldn't exactly have the best core strength either. This also follows the results of another experiment, which showed that the fine motor skills of the crewmembers may be impacted by long stays in space, meaning that it's possible astronauts traveling to another world will have trouble using computers after such long trips, NASA said. Twinning in space The early results from NASA's twin studies - a series of experiments designed to track how Kelly's physiology changed when compared to his twin brother, astronaut Mark Kelly - are also starting to trickle in. Scott Kelly (left) with Mark Kelly. Image: nasa By comparing biological samples collected from both brothers before, during and after Scott's flight to space, scientists should be able to figure out how Scott's body shifted while in orbit as Mark acted as a control subject on the ground. Apparently, Scott changed quite a bit. One study looking at the Kelly brothers' chromosomes found that Scott's telemeres - the bits at the end of each chromosome - lengthened while in space. Telemeres tend to shorten over the years as a person gets older, but Kelly's lengthening telemeres may have had something to do with his diet and exercise routine on the station, NASA said. Once Kelly got back to Earth, those bits of his chromosomes shortened again. "Interestingly, telomerase activity (the enzyme that repairs the telomeres and lengthens them) increased in both twins in November, which may be related to a significant, stressful family event happening around that time," NASA said in a statement. According to another study focusing on Kelly's gastrointestinal tract, the ratio of two groups of bacteria shifted while Kelly was in space but returned to normal once he was back on the ground. Scott and Mark's microbiomes were different through the course of Scott's stint on the Space Station, but that was expected, because of their differences in diet and lifestyle. Research focusing on genome sequencing showed that Scott and Mark also have hundreds of mutations in their genomes when compared to one another, NASA said. This genetic detective work is just beginning. The scientists conducting the study "will look closer to see if a 'space gene' could have been activated while Scott was in space," NASA added. While none of these experiments are totally definitive, the results will go a long way toward helping NASA figure out just what astronauts will face when stretching farther out into the solar system.

[h=3]Surprise! Boy finds rattlesnake in toilet[/h]Cassie Mcfadden killed the snake while dad, Jason, called Big Country Snake Removal. When the technician arrived, he found 24 Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes - 13 in the cellar, 5 adults and 5 babies underneath the house, and the one snake in the toilet, which had entered through a relief pipe.


A Texas home or a snake farm??? :scared:

    J.K. Rowling has the perfect response to Trump trolls burning her books

    LONDON - J.K. Rowling has had a very busy week on Twitter, even by her standards. It kicked off on Monday with a tweet about Mike Pence, then progressed to her shutting down Trump trolls again and again with a series of well-crafted, 140-character barbs. SEE ALSO: J.K. Rowling made a major correction to this 'Daily Mail' tweet The tweets have generated media coverage, thousands of readers, and - unsurprisingly - have attracted a whole host of new trolls that seem drawn to Rowling like angry moths to a flame. The latest trend involves people telling her that they're going to burn her books. Well, the fumes from the DVDs might be toxic and I've still got your money, so by all means borrow my lighter. pic.twitter.com/kVoi8VGEoK - J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 31, 2017 Despite what must be a near-constant onslaught of angry tweets, Rowling's fans have helped her to stay upbeat. I'd just like to thank everyone sending me lovely messages, which greatly outnumber the bad ones  I'm now off to produce more kindling... - J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 1, 2017 @LizzieMarvelly thank you - J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 1, 2017 And as the "just burned all my Harry Potter books" tweets keep rolling in, Rowling keeps doing what she does best: calmly replying with well-worded shutdowns. Guess it's true what they say: you can lead a girl to books about the rise and fall of an autocrat, but you still can't make her think. pic.twitter.com/oB7Aq6Xz8M - J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 1, 2017 @jk_rowling I'll buy 2 copies of every book to make up for this and I'll donate the second copy to an interested reader. Takers? - Christeeeeenuh (@Christeeeeenuh) February 1, 2017 Actually, we're thinking of selling them in pairs in future; a 'read one, burn one' deal for those who like the magic, but not the morals. https://t.co/EPsXoDodr7 - J.K.

Every controversy will be followed by a windfall!

U.S.Associated Press
[h=3]Sales soar for Milo book 'Dangerous'; publisher mum on tour[/h]Sales are soaring for the upcoming book by incendiary right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos but details of his promotional tour - assuming there is one - are a mystery for now. A spokeswoman for Threshold Editions, the conservative imprint at Simon & Schuster, declined comment Thursday when asked where Yiannopoulos was expected to appear on behalf of "Dangerous." Publishers would usually be anxious to share details about a book just a few weeks from publication, March 14, and in high demand from the public. A vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, Yiannopoulos has made vicious comments about Muslims, women and others, and on his web site offers such products as "Feminism is Cancer" T-shirts and "Fat Shaming Works" hoodies.




 
The controversy leading to the windfall referred to in the previous post.

[h=3]Berkeley campus chaos spurs questions at free-speech bastion[/h]BERKELEY, Calif.

Some self-proclaimed-Einsteins while

wishing to highlight their vast knowledge

blunder and underline their lack of I.Q and G.K!!!

You know the examples as well I do and everybody else does! :)
 
Once a famous speaker was asked to give a speech.

The speaker wished to know how many minutes were allowed
for the speech and how many days for preparing the speech.

He said , "If I have to speak for 3 minutes, I need three days to prepare.
If I can speak for 10 minutes I need just one day to prepare.
If I can speak as long as I wish to, I am ready now!"

Does it sound strange and the opposite of what we wish to think?

No! not at all dear folks!

There lies the difference between ' focused' speaking and 'wilful' rambling! :laser: VS :blah:
 
Do modern women prefer men's style of dressing (in a shirt, pants and a suit or coat )

to the traditional skirts (mini/short/maxi) and other feminine dresses BECAUSE

these are more comfortable and give them more freedom of movement OR BECASUSE

they feel safer since it is not so easy to grope and grab you-know-what when they are in men's dress??? :decision:
 
Have we already exhausted all the three lucky close shaves??? :scared:

[h=3]Bus-sized asteroid will whiz by Earth today, coming closer than the Moon[/h]Earth-ending apocalypse movies always start with sky-gazers spotting an astroid that nobody knew about until it was too late. If the speedy space rock called 2017 BS32 was just 100,000 miles closer to our planet than it is, we'd have been in for an interesting afternoon, but thankfully the bus-sized body will just cruise by our planet instead of causing us any headache. What's potentially worrisome, however, is that scientists only just spotted the rock, and it's now the fourth asteroid to come within sniffing distance of our planet so far this year. The astroid, which was only just discovered on January 30th, will be closer to the Earth than the Moon is when it makes its closest approach at approximately 3:23 PM EDT today. The rock is nearly 40 feet in diameter, and will be passing by at a distance of 101,214 miles, bringing it close enough to be seen by astronomers. In fact, the Slooh Observatory will be live streaming the astroid's trip by our planet and answer questions from viewers who want to learn more. As the fourth near-Earth asteroid (NEA) to swing by our planet so far in 2017, the arrival of 2017 BS32 is heightening the concern that one could actually strike our planet. "It raises a few eyebrows when we see a number of close approaching NEAs over such a short period of time,” Slooh Astronomer Paul Cox said in a press release. “We’ll investigate how this could be.” At the present time, it's thought that the sudden influx of near-Earth rocks making passes in 2017 is just a coincidence, however Cox told CNET that the repeated close calls "still surprise" the researchers.
