The findings showed that women with anorexia nervosa or those who were obese had difficulty distinguishing between ordinary water and sugar water compared to controlled group and those who had recovered from anorexia nervosa.

"Taste is an important driver of food intake and invariably associated with distinct neuronal patters in the insula -- the brain's primary taste cortex," said lead study author Guido Frank from University of Colorado.

Make-up artist and stylist Naunidh Singh suggests how: 

♦ If you want to get the look right, spend an extra minute on the eyes. Prepare your lids with a shadow primer which will help create a barrier between your skin and the make-up, also helping the shadow pigments pop. It will help keep the make-up longer, by preventing it from all the pregnancy sweat.

♦ Going by the latest trends and the weather, choose a nice and warm neutral shade as it works best on Indian skin. Pat the eye shadow on the lid and blend it upto the crease. Remember do not go over the crease.

♦ With a dome brush, blend a darker shade in the outer corner going upwards towards the brow till it’s blended nicely. This will give you dimension!

♦ To highlight under the brow bone and the inner corner of the eye, select a lighter shade. Avoid stark white, go for an off white or a champagne colour instead. This will make your eyes look bigger.

♦ If you love to sparkle, then go ahead and use glitter! The trick to getting a beautiful glittery lid is glitter glue. Otherwise, it’s going to get everywhere. Use a small amount of glitter glue and pat it over top of the shadow you have already applied. Do not rub or your shadow will come off.

♦ Next, tap a little of your glitter into the lid of the container. Use your brush to pick up a small amount of glitter and gently press onto your lid. It may be a good idea to hold a tissue under your eye to catch any glitter that falls. If it does fall anyway, remove it using powder brush.

♦ Top it all with a winged eye liner and lots of mascara. You may use kohl if you like.

♦ Do not forget to define your brows. Use a dark matte brown eye shadow to fill your eye brows. A simple eye brow brush will do the trick.

This year, Aishwarya, who is a L'oreal Paris brand ambassador, began her series of appearances with a glittering gold cape dress, followed by a ravishing red Naeem Khan number. Thereafter, she looked elegant in a flowing and dreamy Elie Sab creation and then she chose an ensemble by India's veteran designer Rohit Bal. She ended up turning heads when she turned up sporting a purple pout, which took the focus away from her clothes in another appearance.

Asked if she feels a constant pressure to look a certain way, Aishwarya, who has worked in international movies like "Bride & Prejudice" and "Pink Panther", said in an interview: "It has been 15 years at Cannes and I remember coming here for the first time for 'Devdas' and I knew I belonged to showbiz forever. So, playing dress up has become way of life. I don't shy away from it.

The actress turned up at the party on Monday in a custom-designed ball gown by Ralph and Russo, read a statement. 

There was a vintage vibe along with touch of gothic appeal with ruffles adding volume to the ensemble. 

Her look was sophisticated, exuded grace but she also gave it a fun twist. Sonam highlighted her lips in bright red and eyes with minimal make-up. 

To sum up her look, she opted for the bling of Chopard diamond neckpiece and finished the look with a pair of lace gloves. 

Sonam, who is representing the cosmetic giant L’Oréal Paris at the ongoing film fest, is earning kudos for her fashion statements at the red carpet. 

From her white caped floor-sweeping gown, elegant champagne silk gown to a casual black dress, the “Khoobsurat” actress has been living up the fashionista tag and turning head on the red carpet in French Riviera. 

Type-1 diabetes is a very serious and hard to treat condition affecting mainly young people and children.

Previous research has shown that killer T-cells -- a type of white blood cell that normally protects us from germs -- play a major part in type-1 diabetes by destroying insulin producing cells, known as beta cells.

"The study identified part of a bug that turns on killer T-cells so they latch onto beta cells. This finding sheds new light on how these killer T-cells are turned into rogues, leading to the development of type-1 diabetes," said lead author Andy Sewell, professor at Cardiff University in Britain.

While there were reports that Hirani is planning to make a sequel to "3 Idiots", Sharman told: "Yes, he (Hirani) did mention to me that he has an idea to make a sequel to '3 Idiots'. I am eagerly waiting for him to finish the script so that we can start working on it soon."

"3 Idiots" was one of the biggest money spinners at the Bollywood box office, and featured Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Boman Irani and Omi Vaidya.

Sharman, who started his career as a theatre actor, says he is now taking out more time to be part of theatre.

Working memory is used throughout our lifespan. By improving it, we may be able to realise gains in key areas, from school to work to retirement.

"Working memory is increasingly recognised as a crucial cognitive skill, and these findings are great news for people looking for a fun way to boost their working memory," said one of the researchers, Tracy Alloway, from the University of North Florida in the US.

The researchers enlisted 72 participants between the ages of 18 and 44, who ran both barefoot and with shoes on at a comfortable, self-selected pace for approximately 16 minutes.

Many companies provide free snacks and beverages to incentivise productivity and boost morale of its employees. However, unhealthy snacking may cause an office obesity epidemic.

The findings showed the proximity of snacks to free beverages increased the consumption rate.

The closer the snacks were placed to the drinks, the more people tended to eat, even a difference of a few feet mattered.

"It was a bit surprising that an extra few feet of distance between snacks and beverages yielded such a significant change in snacking frequency," said lead researcher Ernest Baskin, consumer behaviour expert and professor at Saint Joseph's University in the US.

Also, the snacking behaviour was found more in men as opposed to women.

It was unveiled by Mohan Kumar, India’s Ambassador to France along with Leena Jaisani, senior director - Media and Entertainment division at Ficci, at the India Pavilion at the fest.

Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's glittering golden dress at the red carpet of the 69th Cannes Film Festival, left her husband Abhishek Bachchan truly awestruck.

Abhishek expressed his admiration for Aishwarya, whom he married in 2007, on social media.

Abhishek posted an image of the "Jazbaa" actress in black and white hue on his Facebook and Instagram accounts and captioned it as: “They say a picture speaks a 1000 words. Seeing this photo I can think of many more...”.

The photograph features Aishwarya's side profile as she poses for shutterbugs in the gold designer beaded cape couture gown -- designed by Kuwait's Ali Younes -- that she wore for her first appearance at this year's edition of the Cannes movie extravaganza.

These movements in toddlers place a stress on the bones, causing them to become wider and thicker, thereby making them stronger than those in children who may not be moving as much, the study said.

The findings from the study may help to identify who is at a greater risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures in later life.

"The findings are intriguing as they provide a link which wasn't previously understood, primarily that how we move as a young child can have ramifications for our bone strength even 16 years later,” said lead researcher Alex Ireland from Manchester Metropolitan University in Britain.
