| Lifestyle changes may lengthen telomeres, a measure of cell aging Posted: 16 Sep 2013 05:39 PM PDT A small pilot study shows for the first time that changes in diet, exercise, stress management and social support may result in longer telomeres, the parts of chromosomes that affect aging.  |
| Binge drinking: Five or more drinks common for high school seniors, some drink more Posted: 16 Sep 2013 01:17 PM PDT Consuming five or more alcoholic drinks in a row is common among high school seniors, with some students engaging in extreme binge drinking of as many as 15 or more drinks, according to a new study.  |

| Wide-faced men make others act selfishly Posted: 16 Sep 2013 11:04 AM PDT Researchers have previously shown that men with wider faces are more aggressive, less trustworthy and more prone to engaging in deception.

| Posted: 16 Sep 2013 08:08 AM PDT A research team has analysed how the body language of the potential customer helps the bartenders to identify who would like to place an order and who does not. The team found that real-life observations were at odds with the widespread belief that customers wave for signalling that they would like to order a drink.  |
| Diet is associated with risk of depression Posted: 16 Sep 2013 07:35 AM PDT A healthy diet may reduce the risk of severe depression, according to a prospective follow-up study of more than 2,000 men.

| Obese stomachs tell us diets are doomed to fail Posted: 16 Sep 2013 07:33 AM PDT The way the stomach detects and tells our brains how full we are becomes damaged in obese people but does not return to normal once they lose weight, according to new research.  |
| Diminishing fear vicariously by watching others Posted: 16 Sep 2013 06:12 AM PDT Phobias -- whether it's fear of spiders, clowns, or small spaces -- are common and can be difficult to treat. New research suggests that watching someone else safely interact with the supposedly harmful object can help to extinguish these conditioned fear responses, and prevent them from resurfacing later on.  |
