According to the Ohio State University Extension, which summarized the findings, the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts, lunches, and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular. As a bonus, the
27、y were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruits and vegetables.5One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television, particularly if they ate while watching TV-especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m. People who did these things, i
28、ncluding simply watching a lot of television, tended to have a higher body mass index (BMI), as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars. Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars, while eating fewer fruits and vegetables. For the purposes of the study, eating away from hom
29、e was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer or colleagues at work, buying food at convenience stores or gas stations, or buying food for fund-raisers.

The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quick
35、ly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.6Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13, 800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points hig
36、her than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference(头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more
37、rapid brain growth, “says the author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers. She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life.

38、eural (神经的) structures for the verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.“Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and the IQ, but this is the first stu
39、dy of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Lisa Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies.“ We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babie

44、completely backward. 36 We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.Do we really have no time? “I don t have time“ often means” Its not a priority(优先事项)“. Time is highly flexible.
