Why you crave junk

What the junk food you eat says about you, and how you can reset your body

No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut. This amusing thought sums up the power of the human craving for mouthwatering food. Unlike hunger, which is our body's way of ensuring it is provided with energy to stay alive, cravings are mainly a psychological need for high-fat or high-sugar foods that taste delicious.

UK's scientists have now traced junk food cravings to prehistoric times when the brain's opioids and dopamine (brain chemicals that let out feel-good sensations) reacted to the benefit of high-calorie food as a survival mechanism. The scientists have explained how we are programmed to relish junk food. But why do we crave certain foods and what do our cravings tell us about the reasons behind them?

Nutritionist and obesity consultant Naini Setalvad explains, "While several factors could cause cravings, the most common stem either from a deficiency of minerals and vitamins or due to a mild imbalance in our neurotransmitters, which are our body's chemical messengers. They carry impulses between nerve cells and some control our moods and feelings. For instance, someone who chronically has low blood pressure would instinctually take to saltier foods; as would one who lacks minerals available in salt."

Now, 'bulletproof' case for your iPhone

LONDON: A Japanese firm called Marudai has unveiled a $650 bulletproof case for your iPhone.

It could offer the perfect protection for those planning to recreate the infamous 'iPhone vs gun' videos popular on YouTube, which see amateur marksmen shooting their phones and other gadgets to see what happens to them.

The bulletproof case features an inch thick slab of steel plating the firm claims can resist a .50 caliber round, the Daily Mail reported.

However, the protection does come at a cost -- apart from the high price tag, only the back of your handset is protected -- and there's a hole for the camera lens drilled into the metal.

The front of the camera is protected by a thin sheet of aluminum, although the firm has thoughtfully made both white and black versions available, the newspaper added.

The iPhone is first placed into a protective case, then the steel and aluminum case is bolted together around it to secure the handset. The firm also throws in a bonus for purchasers - an empty bullet so you can show friends exactly what you are protected against, the Mail said.

Google in new privacy row

LONDON: Search giant Google has sparked a new privacy row by asking users to read and interpret random private house numbers in order to access their own accounts.

Internet users are being asked to read random pictures of real house numbers taken by Google's Street View cameras, as part of new security checks.

The pictures of house numbers, which are taken from doors and fences on its Street View mapping service, appear on Google's websites when users are asked security questions in order to access their accounts.

Eat less fat, exercise more to shed weight

The old tried and true methods of eating less fat, exercising and joining weight loss programs are more effective strategies for shedding those extra kilos than popular diets and non-prescription pills, researchers say.

lead author Jacinda M. Nicklas, MD, MPH, MA, a clinical research fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School and colleagues analysed data from more than 4,000 obese individuals culled from the 2001-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assess the health and nutritional status of adults in the United States

"This is great news because studies have shown that even a 5 percent reduction in weight can lead to improved health," said Nicklas.
