Hello, friends. Welcome back to Cheddar News. I'm
and I'm
time for our good to know headlines. Let's start with a new study about obesity.
It was published yesterday in nature Metabolism.
Researchers looked at 30 people with low B M I and 30 obese people and found
that their brains sent different signals to their bodies about how much food to eat.
Even after losing weight,
people who were obese had a harder time telling if they were
full or being satisfied after eating foods with sugar or fat.
So the studies suggest that changes to the brain could be permanent,
which the scientists say could help explain why
sustaining dramatic weight loss is so difficult.
So apparently those people who are a bit obese or overweight could not
under their brains couldn't understand the nutrients
that were going into their body.
These scientists obviously know what they're talking about,
but I hate to actually believe or say that, you know what it's, you can't reverse this
or there's mental and psychological elements to it, which I believe.
Well, I believe that researchers, by the way, as we say,
a lot of times in these things, more research, clearly needs to be done
and don't.
And we also need to take into account that the amount
of people who may be mentally or psychologically maybe be,
uh,
their brain is telling them this is probably only a small sliver
given the fact that a lot of people's makeup is purely genetic.
You're probably getting that from jeans and all that other stuff.
So, if your parents had a specific body weight type,
you're likely gonna have some of the similar characteristics.
Having said all of that,
there are companies out there now that whose
entire goal for weight loss is changing psychologically,
how you think about food and how you
die
and then diet and all that stuff.
And for some people that does actually help at the end of the day,
but we shouldn't do a broad swap and just
say that everybody's in the same category here.
But even
the state really interesting that, that this is happening.
Meanwhile, if you're planning your next road trip, everybody,
the website wallet hub wants to help you pick out the most fun destination.
So they ranked each state in the US
using 26 metrics including the cost of entertainment,
restaurants,
per capita nightlife options and access to national parks all in hopes
of finding out which American State is the most fun to visit.
And according to the rankings, the last state California, I A
Florida, Nevada, New York and Illinois, Colorado.
My home state came in sixth place.
Mississippi dead last as the least fun state to visit in the US. Um, I don't
know. What do you think that is about? I think it's just, it, it's tourist things.
You can basically stop off on the side of the road, Disney
World and all of this.
You have to think of the amount of national parks and amusement
parks in California and beaches and all of that as well.
And same thing in New York, you can go upstate,
you want a more city atmosphere.
You drive down to New York City but you, you know, and we joke about this all the time.
My husband hates going on road trips with me because I'm
the person that will be in the car and be like,
world's largest thing of yarn.
We have to go see it. The biggest potato gotta go
question worth it when you do that pit.
No, but you, you know, no.
You know, I mean, like recently, like a few months ago I didn't.
Um,
my parents were in town and I took them
to the world's largest kaleidoscope which is upstate.
It sounds cool, but it was such a snooze fest.
It was not, my mom fell asleep while the whole presentation was happening.
But like, I was like, what if it is so cool?
How do we not know that it gives you, you have all the more reason to go see it.
Now, this, this is what makes you a good journalist
and my
optimism is like, you know what, that yarn, God, that is a big ball of yarn. Right. I
think
around that yarn.
