The scientists have found that those women who eat half of their daily calories in the morning lose weight more in the long term! The heavy breakfast helps us to lose weight, the recent study suggests..! They are less likely to pile the pounds back on! When we take a morning meal with protein and carbohydrates, it not only cuts cravings for sweet or starchy foods but also boosts the body metabolism.
Generally we do a lot of exercise and some gym trainers tell us to eat normally. But to lose weight, you not only exercise but also do some dieting otherwise, in my opinion, it is impossible. I do the following for weight reduction:
- Exercise rope jumping, yoga and with 2 instruments push up and sit up..
- Yoga .it helps to keep the body supple and strong.
- Pranayam..breathing exercises.

The scientists observed that the female chimps keep quiet during sex! This is a strategy to keep the other females from knowing. They try to mate the best males. The chimp population calls also found that the females are interested in having sex with a large number of mates. They want to find the strongest male and confuse the paternity so that their offspring are taken care by all of them!
The strategy is to make the alpha male, the highest ranking male think that he is the father of the child. The study was made by Simon Townsend, a researcher at University of St. Andrews who is an evolutionary psychologist. He thinks that if the paternity is confused, the chimp thinks that their offsprings will be taken care of.
