  Under the impression that if you want to lose weight, you have to eat less?Well apparently, the solution may not be quite that simple.

  Instead, some scientists in the UK have been experimenting with ways to trick the body into feeling full.

  A government-funded team has been testing simple foods found on everyday shopping lists.

  Bread, cheese, milk, soup and sauces can all be developed to cause the brain to send a brain signal which acts as an appetite suppression(抑制).

  Peter Wilde, Scientist of UK Institute of Food Research, said,“If you can slow down the digestion of fat in the body, the undigested fat goes further down the small intestine(肠)and then it sends a message to the brain to reduce your appetite, so you can eat a normal-sized meal and the digestion is slowed down and then the message goes to your brain to reduce your appetite and you go for longer without being hungry.”

  The researchers insist that the treated foods will still be entirely natural products, and free from processing.

  They believe helping people to reduce weight this way is beneficial because it allows them to eat normally.The scientists also think their treatment could be taken into snacks to make sure people don’t eat too much.

  The research is still at the experimental stage and it will be at least a year before their techniques can be used in a large scale human trial.

  Are you one of those who always fear whenever a dog is approaching? If you are, you have got phobia(a very strong feeling of being afraid of something).Of all human fears, phobias may be the most uncontrollable.They are most often caused by a particular situation or object.In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties.To begin with, agoraphobia is a fear of staying in strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open area.Social phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class.Lastly, there are a wide range of specific phobias.People suffering from this kind of phobia are terrified of specific objects or creatures.such as spiders, perhaps to your surprise, clowns.Besides, there are about six hundred and fifty phobias having been listed by psychologists(心理学家)as yet.

  Faced with their phobias, many people choose to do nothing but just escape the situations or objects they fear.Psychologists, however, warn that if not treated properly, this kind of anxiety will get worse, so that it may disturb the sleep pattern, cause physical symptoms, and finally affect their daily activities.As for treatment, clinical research has discovered that medicine for anxiety is not successful in curing phobias.However.the anxiety disorders can be efficiently treated through cognitive behavioral therapy(认知行为疗法), through which patients are led to inspect the connections between their own fear und the situation or object, and then actively choose the acceptable treatments.Also, other treatments proved effective in reducing phobias are Meditation(quiet thought that can help people relax), listening to calming music, and so on.
