Even two or three nights of shortened sleep can have quite significant effects, he says, disrupting the normal hormonal balance and making more likely a series of long-term consequences, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. [...]
For adolescents, he suggests allowing them to sleep in at weekends, but not for more than two to three hours, as that can disrupt the normal rhythms.
And I drink to increase my income, if this little bit of research is to be believed. According to the authors,
“Drinkers may be able to socialize more with clients and co-workers, giving drinkers an advantage in important relationships,” the researchers said. “Drinking may also provide individuals with opportunities to learn people, business, and social skills.”
Update:
And chocolate! How can I forget chocolate! Though I do think that the term flavonoids seems more marketing-speak than genuine scientific terminology. But I’m no expert — I’m biting into this delectable delicacies purely on medical advice.
The fourth and final thing that’s good for everyone needs no scientific evidence, really.

Reasons…reasons …and more reasons….scientific evidence dila ke zhala, nahika?
