SCIENTISTS SAY GARGLING WITH LEMONADE COULD HELP YOU QUIT SMOKING: Scientists say if you're desperate to quit smoking they might have bizarre aid- gargling with lemonade. Scientists have found that the interaction of sugar on the tongue boosts attention and energy and can improve self-control, at least temporarily. To find this, scientists had students perform a task to deplete their self-control, and then a second task that required the use of more self-control. While doing the second task, some students rinsed their mouths with lemonade sweetened with artificial sweetener, and some rinsed with lemonade sweetened with real sugar. Those who rinsed with real-sugar-lemonade improved their performance of the second-task. Scientists say the sugar triggers the motivational centers of the brain where self-related goals are stored, and tells it to pay attention. (Daily Mail)

A new study found that mothers now make 19 trips to the supermarket every month. Apparently hectic schedules, unannounced guests and hungry kids mean it is impossible for mothers to limit their shopping to one trip a week. Mothers typically now carry out three 'big' supermarket shops each month, and make an additional nine trips to the shops for little supplies. 8 in 10 say they often end up buying things they had never planned to purchase, spending an average of $17 extra during each trip.

MORE THAN HALF OF MEN RELY ON WOMEN TO PICK CLOTHES: More than half of men confess that they rely on the women in their life to pick out their outfits for them for the next day. And when they do actually choose their own outfits, half admit they still ask their partner or mother to 'approve' the ensemble before they leave the house. The survey, by menswear brand Jacamo, also found when men are left alone with their wardrobe, one in six admit they do not care
about how they look and throw on any old item. One in three said they get dressed in less than two minutes. (Daily Mail)
