Researchers found the stress of thinking caused overeating with heavy thinkers seeking out more calories.The research team, supervised by Dr Angelo Tremblay, measured the spontaneous food intake of 14 students after each of three tasks....Mr Chaput added: "Caloric overcompensation following intellectual work, combined with the fact we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialised countries."This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature."The results of the study, carried out at Universite Laval in Quebec, Canada, are published
in Psychosomatic Medicine.

"O melhor mesmo é não pensar..."
Também me parece.
De qualquer modo, estas conclusões não me apoquentam muito. Peso o mesmo há muitos anos.
Pensarei pouco?
Nunca tinha pensado nisso.
Bom Ano e pensamentos positivos!
This is only one of the first baby steps towards the America that matches the words of her founding documents. There is much work to be done. Remember that blacks were effectively re-enslaved just a few years after emancipation till the Great Society of Johnson. Slavery lies almost within living memory of people. It is not a memory that will be erased by a mere election -- but ut sure goes a long way.
Mas isso vai tão contra décadas ou séculos de estereotipos (quase todos os filósofos, psicólogos, etc. que tentaram estabelecer uma ligação entre tipo fisico e tipo psicológico associaram o "intelectual" ao tipo "alto e magro) que suspeito que deve haver ai uma falha (p.ex., as cobaias foram autorizadas a andar de um lado para outro enquanto pensavam no problema, como é normal ocorrer no mundo real?)
Há muita investigação dirigida essencialmente a contrariar o senso comum.
E tanto investigam que encontram...
A investigaçao social lida com uma
realidade muito fluida.
