Regardless
of good eating habits, size still matters when it comes to how you
dish-up that meal. A study found that people who are given large
servings of food eat more than those with smaller servings, even after
they’ve been taught about the impact of portion sizes. The trend toward
bigger servings is linked to the rise in obesity. Source Link
Listening
to soothing sounds at bedtime can do more than help you sleep. A study
found that subjects who heard special sounds synchronized to brain
rhythms improved their memory ability. Researchers think the sound
stimulation prolongs deep sleep, during which the brain processes
information and forms memories. Source Link

Researchers think the curved shape makes it harder to tell at a glance how much of the glassful is left, and that makes people drink faster. Source Link
