          Watching Others Indulge in Junk Food Can Curb Your Appetite and Aid in Weight Loss

          Studies show that advertisements showing people eating junk food can actually prompt those on a diet to eat less. The research found that the mere sight of someone eating junk food is enough to put dieters off it. This is because mental imagery, including that of food consumption, can activate similar neural networks to those linked with actual performance or experience. The findings suggest that healthy eating campaigns should include and portray the consumption of unhealthy food, as dieters consciously associate it with a failure to reach their weight loss goals.

          Brain Drain: Measuring the Energy Consumption of Our Thinking Minds

          Our brain consumes a significant amount of energy, accounting for about 20% of the body's total energy consumption. Most of this energy is used for information processing. While research shows that increased mental activity does lead to slightly higher energy consumption, this increase is minimal, region-specific, and often offset by energy decreases in other areas. Feeling exhausted after mental activity is likely due to mental stress rather than actual energy depletion. Pacing yourself can help avoid mental overload, stress, and fatigue.
