Knit balaclavas made a surprise return for autumn/winter <strong>2018</strong>, featuring on the<br />

Fashion as Self Expression<br />
What is Fashion? Embracing style, trend, and comfort is nothing but the fashion. Fashion in today's<br />
world is compared to air in our planet. It's the most recent developments of our modern society.<br />
Fashion is an excepted manner of dressing, living, entertaining or traveling adopted by a group of<br />
people at a particular time. Fashion has been changing so fast that it is difficult even to recognize what<br />
the current fashion style is? There is undisputedly a wide choice of colors & designs in costumes.<br />

Fashion is a style that is accepted and used by the majority of group at any one time, no matter how<br />
small that group is. Fashion is a vital, challenging, ever-changing force. In recent years significant "anti<br />
fashion" phenomenon has taken over the fashion industry e.g. wearing unconventional colors and fabric<br />
combination. Clothing style different social groups and communities from one another. Sequined dresses,<br />
chic ensembles and trendy shirts and skirts represented the true repertoire of the fashion. Fabrics like<br />
shiny fabrics, sating, polyester, blends and knits are the dominant features of fashion. It has been proven<br />
scientifically that colors play an important role in the psychological behavior of human being. Keeping<br />
these in mind designers are preferring naturally dyed fabrics and natural color.<br />

REFINING STYLE IS ALways risky business, particularly in an area in which whim and<br />
hemline are so interwoven. Nevertheless, to be somewhat arbitrary about it, one could say<br />
that there are three distinct strata in the fashion realm: luxury, real and avant-garde.<br />
The luxury level consists of those women - and there are a surprisingly large number of them<br />
- with the means, and inclination, to indulge in the latest offerings of the world's statussetting<br />
dress designers. These talents - located in Paris, New York and Milan (Galanos, alone,<br />
creates in Los Angeles) - set styles that rapidly seep, through imitation and interpretation,<br />
into clothes for millions of less-affluent women who follow fashion trends.<br />
Then there is the real, encompassing the vast numbers of women who dress to get their work,<br />
whatever it is, done effectively. Because of the excellence of American design and current<br />
mass-production techniques, they too have a style to call their own.<br />
Finally, the avant-garde is just that: women who find pleasure in experimenting with<br />
adventurous, often strange, looks. The newness is usually an extension of personal daring, a<br />
flaunting of the conventional.<br />
Season after season, designers and manufacturers make suggestions to all three<br />
constituencies. Suggestions, not mandates. When it comes to fashion, American women will<br />
no longer take dictation. They pick and choose, leaving their dislikes unsold on the racks.<br />

Therefore, to be fashionable today is to don something as disparate as a Chanel suit, a pair<br />
of blue jeans, a wildly dramatic coat with funnels for sleeves, a hip-sashed sexy chemise<br />
dress, a man's tailored suit. It is a short tight skirt. Also a long flowing one. A fur coat or one<br />
that is down-filled. It is a pair of high-heeled sandals, as well as sensible low-heeled ones;<br />
even running shoes. To dress up means donning a glamorous sequined ball gown, a stark T-<br />
shirt and pants, a demure silk print dress. For work, one gets into a carefully tailored suit, a<br />
sweater and skirt, a multilayered ensemble - or that same demure dress that another woman<br />
wears for an important evening. There are clothes that can be broadly categorized as<br />
sophisticated, familiar or strange; androgynous (a big movement at present) or instantly<br />
recognizable as feminine. There are extremely practical fashions, complicated ones, and<br />
those that make no bones about being frivolous and fragile.<br />
All of this would seem to make for a messy mishmash of notions, difficult to decipher and<br />
defeating for the woman with the interest and inclination to follow fashion trends. Yet there<br />
are certain ballasts that stabilize the situation. For one, there are the designers and<br />
manufacturers who address particular segments of society. The good ones make good points<br />
with what they design and produce, and women quickly come to rec- FASHION VIEW95<br />
Organizers whose merchandise appeals to them, fits them properly and makes them feel well<br />
turned-out for their particular world.<br />
Another ballast is the trust generated by a particular store, salesperson or publication, acting<br />
as a guide in selecting the best of the new from the worst of it.<br />
Ideas may cross over from one group to another, but each segment manifests them in<br />
different ways. A good example is the current vogue of androgynous dressing.<br />
At the luxury level, a Giorgio Armani adapts the suits that he so superbly tailors for men into<br />
sophisticated and sexy attire for women. A Ralph Lauren takes men's clothing classics and<br />
renders them for women in such a way that they become delightfully feminine.<br />
At the real-life level, men's active wear is translated almost verbatim. The fit sometimes is<br />
slightly altered to better adapt to a woman's body, but it is still blue jeans, sweaters, T-shirts,<br />
bomber jackets, jogging and sports gear. The same designs that men wear.<br />
When androgynous is interpreted by the avant-garde, it is usually at its most aggressive.<br />
There often are no gender distinctions between what is worn by either sex. Seen from the<br />
back, a young person, radiating a certain sense of style, may be wearing an oversize man's<br />
jacket, tight pegged pants, crushed down boots. Slung over the shoulder is a big, soft,<br />

pouchy bag. The hair will be shorn short with some fluff on top. If there is a bit of pierced<br />
earring visible, it is probably a woman. Then again, it could also be a young man.<br />
So one could say that the state of style is a mirror held to the style of one's life. To be sure,<br />
there is a certain amount of confusion, since there are no direct dictates. But on the other<br />
hand, there is so much from which to choose, that one can express oneself in clothing just as<br />
clearly as one does in every other aspect of this complicated life.<br />

Vogue (Easy wear)<br />
What’s new for next winter? Plenty. Easy wear continues to be big, we’ll still be<br />
wrapping up warm in cozy clothes that make us feel safe, but for <strong>2018</strong> comfort will<br />
also mean an eclectic succession of familiar pieces, that are also fail-safe in the<br />
style stakes. The overall trend might have been towards real clothes that are easy<br />
to throw on and a way of dialling seduction down to the everyday, but fashion didn’t<br />
forget about fun, color and glamour. Next winter will be determined, celebrating<br />
individuality and style with a multitude of trends that are dying to be worn. Choose<br />

Modest is not as Easy Wear<br />
Modesty dressing<br />
In a post Time's Up era, designers experimented with female sexuality and by and large<br />
the silhouette was decidedly covered-up. From extreme layers at Balenciaga (pictured) to<br />
Erdem's evening dresses worn over prim shirts and stockings, hemlines were kept low<br />
and necklines high. Tailoring too was big news - especially at Alexander McQueen and<br />
Stella McCartney.. This is, of course, not new news, but never has modesty been more<br />
pervasive than this season - bar the exceptions of Christopher Kane and Saint Laurent.<br />

Big Is Still In<br />
There was a time for skimpy,<br />
but the fall/ winter <strong>2018</strong><br />
runway trends are steering<br />
clear of that on. On the<br />
contrary, we are going for<br />
oversized everything once<br />
again this year, despite it<br />
already having dominated the<br />
catwalk for a few years now.<br />
Eye-catching colors and<br />
multiple layers make for looks<br />
that really stand out from the<br />
crowd, drowning you in the<br />
sheer size and lack of<br />
definition around your curves,<br />
even more so with the<br />
oversized coats.<br />
We also have oversized<br />
handbags for fall <strong>2018</strong>, such<br />
as the matching laundry<br />
basket style seen at Marni.<br />
Even the scarves are<br />
oversized to match with anklelength<br />
broad shouldered<br />
overcoats as per Marc<br />
Jacobs. Though some of the<br />
Maison Margiela pieces<br />
remind us of tents with a<br />
human hidden inside.<br />
One of the top fall <strong>2018</strong><br />
fashion trends you notice on<br />
the multitude of runway shows<br />
over the span of each Fashion<br />
Week is the maxi lengths on<br />
models showing off nearly no<br />
skin. Most designers have<br />
opted for lengths past the<br />
calves, generally swishing<br />
below the ankle, many falling<br />
to the floor.<br />
It is a long and lean look that<br />
has us really wanting to grab<br />
a Valentino crisp white dress<br />
suit, complete with a scarf<br />
around the neck that falls to<br />
bellow one’s knees. The<br />
colors that go with the long<br />
looks are spectacular, the<br />
lean working best with a bright<br />
white deal.<br />
Matrix coats, leather dresses,<br />
long billowing organza in floral<br />
prints; nearly every trend was<br />
all about coverage, while each<br />
designer also tried to<br />
showcase the opposite, going<br />
for shirt skirts, tall boots, and<br />
even a few plunging necks.<br />
Modest and monastic is how<br />
fall <strong>2018</strong> is being described<br />
though, which means that you<br />
certainly do not need to be<br />
showing any skin at all if you<br />
prefer not to.<br />
Savile Row<br />
Style Men’s<br />
Overcoats<br />
Get ready for classic Savile<br />
Row fabrics on men’s style<br />
overcoats as part of your fall<br />
<strong>2018</strong> fashion trends wardrobe.<br />
Large shoulders, boxy coupe,<br />
and lots of length make for<br />
some intriguing coats to pull<br />
over your lovely dresses come<br />
the cooler months once again.<br />
It has swagger, it is lit, and it<br />
is rocking the style reports<br />
across the board. You can<br />
pair with a shiny black number<br />
that shows off lots of leg and<br />
cleavage as per Saint<br />
Laurent, with bulky boots as<br />
per Prada, with flowy skirts<br />
and futuristic gloves as per<br />
Calvin Klein, or over colorful<br />
leather as we saw at the<br />
Stella McCartney runway<br />
show.<br />
Lapels on the overcoats also<br />
look quite darling as seen at<br />
Fendi or given some waist<br />
definition with a leather belt as<br />
per Givenchy.<br />

Layer Upon<br />
Layer<br />
One of the biggest fall/ winter<br />
<strong>2018</strong>-2019 fashion trends is<br />
the 3-5 layer style, particularly<br />
when using oversized and<br />
deconstructed pieces as seen<br />
at the Marni runway show.<br />
Really, it is a wonder anyone<br />
is able to walk around with so<br />
many layers on.<br />
Some even include a<br />
combination of pants and<br />
tunics, while so many on the<br />
runways throughout the<br />
Fashion Weeks simply<br />
appeared to throw on piece<br />
over piece. Some looked<br />
great, such as a Calvin Klein<br />
foil dress over a turtleneck<br />
statement sleeve sweater.<br />
Others were not quite so tidy,<br />
appearing more like a pile was<br />
tossed onto a body. But one<br />
thing we know for sure is that<br />
you can play with layers all<br />
you want and still stay very<br />
much in style come the cooler<br />
seasons.<br />
Keyhole<br />
Plunges<br />
First it was a deep plunge,<br />
then it was a deeper plunge;<br />
now, we are looking at<br />
keyhole plunges that both<br />
show off a braless chest and<br />
still manage to cover up<br />
enough to be appropriate for<br />
the cooler weather.<br />
Coach combines the folklore<br />
heartland theme with some<br />
lovely keyhole plunges that<br />
are shorter than some of the<br />
others we come across, while<br />
Chloe makes sure we get a<br />
good amount of exposure,<br />
starting high at the nick and<br />
ending low on the diaphragm.<br />
Broad<br />
Shoulders<br />
As part of the oversized trend<br />
going strong for the cooler<br />
months, large puffy sleeves<br />
and big shoulders are<br />
dominating the market. This<br />
includes the Marc Jacob<br />
number that reminds us of an<br />
olden detective movie in red.<br />
Broad shoulders on suits are<br />
also a common sight these<br />
days, signifying a female<br />
strength we have generally<br />
always hidden. Dolan’s hot<br />
pink plaid design in an<br />
oversized fit seems to fit this<br />
category perfectly.<br />

Five Ways to Have More Fun at Work<br />
Forbes Report by<br />
Christine Comaford<br />
I write about leveraging neuroscience to create remarkable leadership.<br />
Here are five ways to have more fun at work.<br />
1. Create games and contests for your company values. One of my clients had a minigolf<br />
tournament, right in the office. Employees navigated treacherous obstacles like the<br />
copy machine, the reception area and the recycling center. Each hole was a plastic cup<br />
with a company value, theme or story topic on it. Once an employee hit the ball into the<br />
hole they had to pause and tell others nearby a short story about what the<br />
value/theme/story meant to them. Some clients host annual competitions for which<br />
department makes the coolest/weirdest/most amazing gingerbread house, gingerbread<br />
haunted house, gingerbread turkey.<br />

Fashion Statement<br />
Entertainment<br />
2. Share community service experiences. Think back to the most powerful memories<br />
you have. They’re powerful because they are emotional—whether inspiring and uplifting or<br />
challenging with some struggle or trauma. Giving money to charities is cool, but donating<br />
time is far more emotional. Can you do it together? And if you do donate funds, have your<br />
team share the difference they make. At our company, every team member receives a<br />
giving budget each year. It’s very cool to learn what causes move our team members and<br />
how their budget made a difference!<br />
3. Embrace celebration and appreciation. Are you celebrating successes on a regular<br />
basis through visible appreciation? A few examples are high five emails to the team,<br />
leaderboards showing employees who are achieving their needle movers and weekly<br />
round-up emails listing individual employee’s wins. You can create some wacky and<br />
unique awards that your team can strive for as well. I worked with one team where<br />
everyone took old-time western photos (in awesome cowboy costumes) and they created<br />
Wanted posters. They were wanted by the law for eating all of the snacks in the break<br />
room or for using all of the printer ink. Everyone had a great time deciding what wanted<br />
sign would say and how much their bounty cost.<br />
4. Incorporate mindfulness practices on a regular basis. Every highly accomplished<br />
leader I know learns to stop the world and to stop their thoughts on command. This is one<br />
of the best ways to make key decisions. They use mindfulness practices on a daily basis.<br />
Why not make this a part of your office culture? Try having a monthly event where your<br />
team can learn a new mindfulness practice, such as meditation or yoga. If you really want<br />
to have fun, try a laughter yoga class they are a blast!<br />
5. Celebrate birthdays and work anniversaries. Are you celebrating these special<br />
days? A card with a handwritten note has a huge positive impact and reminds team<br />
members that they are valued. Having cake or another special treat for the team is a great<br />
way to bring the team together and for them to have a chance to bond. If you are in a<br />
position to give a small gift, find out what the person really enjoys. Generic gift cards or<br />
standard gifts are great but a personalized gift is far more meaningful.<br />
All work and no play makes us crabby and dull! Where there is laughter, joy and fun, highperformance<br />
teams thrive. There are countless ways to have fun and even attach<br />
empowering meaning to it at the same time. The above ideas will get you started!<br />
How are you helping your employees have fun?<br />

Gigi Hadid<br />
Gigi Hadid would like all of the people who say<br />
that she doesn't deserve her success to kindly get a<br />
reality check.<br />
While speaking at an event on Friday, Gigi<br />
addressed critics who think that she only got to<br />
where she is today because of her privileged<br />
upbringing. (Reminder: her father Mohamed<br />
Hadid is a very successful real estate developer,<br />
and her mother Yolanda Hadid is a former model<br />
and used to be on The Real Housewives of Beverly<br />
Hills.) According to the Daily Mail, Gigi said:<br />
People say that I don't deserve to be where I<br />
am because I come from this successful<br />
family, but my parents were fucking hardworking...My<br />
dad was a refugee, my mum was<br />
on a farm, went to New York and worked to<br />
send money back to her family. They worked<br />
their asses off and they've given me a life<br />
because of their hard work, and I work hard to<br />
honor that.<br />
In addition to pointing out her own work ethic,<br />
Gigi mentioned that she knows the kind of people<br />
who only got to where they are because of<br />
nepotism, and that she doesn't think very highly of<br />
them. She said, "I've worked with them, they<br />
suck." Yikes.<br />
So what we've learned today, friends, is that Gigi<br />
does not like people undermining her<br />
accomplishments (understandable!), and that if<br />
you ever get the chance to work with her, you<br />
better bring your A game.<br />

Are you eating too<br />
much sugar? You are<br />
(hangry) most of the<br />
time......<br />
how can you tell if your sugar intake is higher<br />
than it should be? Because everyone's body is<br />
different, we'll each have different reactions to<br />
sugar intake - and each of us has a different<br />
personal "maximum." Clinical nutritionist and<br />
detox specialist Autumn Bates, CCNshared a few<br />
telltale signs you can keep an eye on to decide if<br />
it's time to cut back.<br />
Mood Swings<br />
If you haven't been feeling like the nicest or<br />
happiest version of yourself, your diet could be<br />
to blame. "A high-sugar diet can cause you to<br />
have severe mood swings," said Bates. This is<br />
"due to the rise and fall in blood glucose levels -<br />
think 'hangry'." We've been there! "This happens<br />
because sugar is absorbed much more quickly<br />
into your body than fat or protein, so this results<br />
in a surge of energy and a very sudden drop.<br />
That drop can cause you to feel moody, angry,<br />
anxious, annoyed, and really hungry." Limiting<br />
your intake of sweets could potentially balance<br />
out your mood and lead to more positive<br />
feelings overall.<br />

The world's biggest tobacco companies is diving into the cannabis market with a<br />
$1.8 billion buy-in.<br />
Marlboro maker Altria Group Inc. is taking a 45 percent stake in Cronos Group,<br />
the Canadian medical and recreational marijuana provider said Friday.<br />
The agreement includes a warrant to acquire additional shares over the next four<br />
years that could give the Altria, which is based in Richmond, Virginia, a 55<br />
percent ownership stake in the Toronto company.<br />

That would mean Altria's investment would be in the same league as the $4<br />
billion spent earlier this year by Constellation Brands to acquire shares of<br />
Canopy Growth Corp., another Canadian pot producer.<br />
The August investment by Constellation, which makes Corona and other<br />
beverages, was the largest to date by a major U.S. corporation in the cannabis<br />
market.<br />
Whatever hesitation larger corporations in the U.S. had about entering the<br />
cannabis market appears to be fading if there is a financial justification.<br />
Altria's huge investment lit up shares of cannabis companies that have begun to<br />
set up shop in Canada, where recreational use was legalized this year.<br />
U.S. traded shares of of Cronos Group Inc. jumped 22 percent Friday.<br />
Rapid growth in the cannabis market is expected to continue as legalization<br />
expands in the U.S. and social norms change. On Tuesday, ultra-conservative<br />
Utah became the latest state to legalize marijuana use for medical<br />
purposes.<br />
Consumers are expected to spend $57 billion per year worldwide on legal<br />
cannabis by 2027, according to Arcview Market Research, a cannabis-focused<br />
investment firm. In North America, that spending is expected to grow from $9.2<br />
billion in 2017 to $47.3 billion in 2027.<br />

Simple Ways to Lose Love Handles<br />
and Lower Belly Fat Fast<br />
Love handles are the layer of side fat spilling over the waistline of pants.<br />
The fat spillage is also known as “muffin top” or “spare tire”, taking its name from its resemblance.<br />
Without a doubt, side belly fat's got many cute, harmless nicknames.<br />
But that's as far as the cuteness of the love handles and muffin top goes.<br />
Then there is lower belly fat, the center abdominal fat that creates crates when you sit.<br />
Love handles and lower belly fat are not only the most dangerous fat in the body but also hardest to<br />
lose.<br />
Many attempts to spot reduce this specific belly fat with countless sit-ups. While others fiercely target<br />
the obliques and repeat gazillion side crunches.<br />
But the truth is, that's not an effective approach to losing love handles and getting rid of lower belly<br />
fat.<br />

To get rid of love handles and lower stomach fat for good, you need to change your diets, exercise,<br />
and lifestyle.<br />
Luckily, these changes are simple and easy to make, and the results are to last for the lifetime.<br />
If you are ready, here are 14 simple ways to get rid of love handles and lose lower belly fat.<br />
1. Reduce Your Stress<br />
According to a Yale study, high-level stress may cause excess abdominal fat, even in slender women<br />
The study explains that high level of cortisol (stress hormone) can be responsible for fat storage<br />
around your midsection.<br />
Simply put, stress formulates the perfect path way to the lower belly fat.<br />
The more stress you have, the more cortisol you'll build up, and more fat you accumulate, especially<br />
in the belly area.<br />
In addition to an increase of fat storage around the abdominal region, stress also drives people to eat<br />
more than they normally do.<br />
And for most women, when the stress hits and the hunger skyrockets, they often reach out for<br />
comfort foods like fatty fries and sugary cakes.<br />
British Nutrition Foundation calls this phenomenon "stress-induced changes in eating behavior .<br />
In easier terms, we are wired to grab sugary, fatty food during cortisol surge and high-stress time.<br />
This is true even for healthy weight women.<br />
In fact, their study notes anywhere from 65-85% of women are at risk of stress-induced changes in<br />
eating and body weight changes.<br />
After all, all those foods we call comfort foods truly send our brain the signal of pleasure and comfort<br />
and really comfort our brains at the time of stress.<br />
This makes reaching for healthier alternatives really hard when everything your body is craving is<br />
fatty, sugary foods.<br />
All these excess calories do not get distributed and stored as fat evenly throughout the body.<br />
Instead, cortisol promotes fat storage in the stomach area. And this can be cyclical.<br />
A recent sutudy show women with a larger waistline is more prone to secrete cortisol at the time of<br />
stress, creating a recurring cycle<br />

This constant battle of giving in can surely lead to weight gain around the belly, let alone trimming<br />
lower belly fat.<br />
Your Action plan: The first strategy to fight the battle of stress eating is to stay clear. keeping<br />
sugary snacks and fatty foods handy just makes the matter worse.<br />
Instead, stock your fridge with "healthy snacks" such as Greek Yogurt, apple, hummus, cottage<br />
cheese— belly fat friendly foods.<br />
And throw away anything you know you shouldn't be eating or snacking on constantly.<br />
Because with "chronic stress", the chances are, you will be snacking them much more frequently<br />
than you should.<br />
The folks at Harvard health also recommend these lower intensity exercises to reduce high cortisol<br />
levels.<br />
Meditation // Taking a few minutes daily to meditate can reduce stress. Meditation may also benefit<br />
people in making more mindful food choices.<br />
Exercise // High-intensity activities increase cortisol levels temporarily, but low-intensity exercise<br />
seems to reduces them according to researchers at the University of California.<br />
Low-intensity exercises include yoga and tai chi.<br />
2. Reduce Your Sugar Intake<br />
Your body can only handle so much sugar, one to two teaspoons at a time max. Anything more than<br />
that has the potential to be converted into body fat.<br />
Whether naturally occurred or added, sugars are carbs and listed under total carbohydrates on<br />
nutritional labels. Usually, one figure sums the total sugar content, but naturally occurring sugars<br />
and added sugars are different in nature.<br />
Naturally occurring sugars which include fructose can be found in fruits, other plant-foods, and<br />
lactose (milk).<br />
Added sugars include white sugar, brown sugar, honey, corn syrup, fruit nectars, fructose, and<br />
dextrose.<br />
It's a type of sugar that gets added to a food or beverage during their preparation and processing,<br />
hence the name. It's not naturally occurred as the first type of sugar.<br />

On nutritional labels, both sugars are listed as grams, a metric measurement of weight. And for<br />
many, this gram measurement is not familiar or easy to interpret.<br />
That's because a more approach to measuring something of small volume in America is teaspoons or<br />
tablespoons, especially in recipes. And to determine how much sugar you are consuming throughout<br />
the day, it's important to know how to convert from grams to teaspoons.<br />
With that, you can learn to properly manage your sugar intake.<br />
So let's get started.<br />
This can be a sure way to reduce your sugar intake.<br />
• Sugars: 4 grams equal to 1 teaspoon.<br />
Using this equation you can easily look at any food product to see how much sugar or more precisely<br />
how many teaspoons of sugar it contains.<br />
To start, take the gram listed for one serving and divide it by four to convert to teaspoons.<br />
The chart below shows a few examples and demonstrates how to convert the sugar content of a 20<br />
oz sugar containing beverage. Column 1 shows the sugar in teaspoons for drinking 8 oz, column 2<br />
shows the sugar content for 16 oz, and column 3 shows sugar for the entire 20 oz (7).<br />
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3<br />
Beverage = 8 ounces (1 cup) Beverage =16 ounce (2 cups) Beverage =20 ounces (entire<br />
container)<br />
Calories: 110 Calories: 220 Calories: 330<br />
Sugars: 28 grams Sugars: 56 grams Sugars: 70 grams<br />
Conversion: 28 grams divided<br />
by 4 = 7 teaspoons of sugars<br />
Conversion: 56 grams divided<br />
by 4 = 14 teaspoons of sugar<br />
Conversion: 70 grams divided<br />
by 4 = 17 ½ teaspoons of sugar<br />
According to Rush University Medical Center, "sugar increases belly fat" and fiber reduces belly fat.<br />
Sugar is one of the biggest reason people gain weight.<br />
Sugar is made up of half glucose and half fructose, and fructose only gets metabolized by the liver.<br />
With high consumption of refined sugar, the liver gets burdened with fructose and ends up turning it<br />
all into fat.<br />
It's been seen by a number of studies that excess sugar, fructose, in particular, can lead to<br />
accumulation of belly fat.<br />
Simply put, sugar increases belly fat and liver fat, which leads to insulin resistance and a host of<br />
metabolic problems. Many experts believe this is the primary cause of sugar's harmful effects on<br />
one's health.<br />

Liquid calories are considered the worse since they don't get registered by the brain in the same way<br />
as solid calories, so when you drink sugary drinks, you end up consuming more calories without even<br />
knowing it.<br />
Reducing your sugar intake will not only help you lose belly fat but also your bodyweight as well.<br />
But please note that none of this applies to the whole, fresh fruits.<br />
Though fruits contain sugar, they are considered extremely healthy as their high fiber content<br />
mitigates the negative effects of fructose.<br />
Moreover, the level of fructose you find in fruits is a fraction of what you see in sugary products.<br />
Your Action plan: Start reading nutrition facts and labels to understand how much sugar food<br />
contains. Be sure to use the chart above to see how many teaspoons of sugar are in each product.<br />
This will help you be more mindful of how much sugar you're taking in daily. Cutting back on refined<br />
sugar may help reduce your belly fat.<br />
3. Add More Fiber to Your Diet<br />
It is well known that high fiber diet can help with weight loss.<br />
This is true, but unfortunately, dietary fiber in the average Americans diet today is at an all-time low,<br />
with less than three percent of Americans meeting their recommended daily fiber intake.<br />
That is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men a day.<br />
This is equivalent to eating one cup of raspberries (8 grams of fiber), one cup of blackberries (7.6<br />
grams of fiber) or 1 cup of lentils or black beans, and you'll be well over your dietary fiber intake for<br />
the day.<br />
Of course, this is just one example of fiber rich foods, but there are tons of other high-fiber foods you<br />
can eat.<br />
But just keep in mind that not all fiber foods are created equal.<br />
Soluble fiber seems to have the greatest impact on your weight and belly fat.<br />
Soluble fiber absorbs water and forms a gel like texture that helps slow down food as it passes<br />
through your digestive system.<br />
Studies have found this type of dietary fiber to be very effective in helping people lose weight by<br />
making them feel full so they naturally eat less.<br />

<strong>MCM</strong> <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

Soluble fiber may also help decrease the number of calories your body absorbs from food.<br />
In addition to helping you lose weight, soluble fiber may help you lose your belly fat, especially the<br />
dangerous visceral abdominal fat that wraps around your internal organs.<br />
An observational study of 339 African Americans and 775 Hispanic Americans ranging from age 18-<br />
81 years found that for every 10-gram increase in soluble fiber intake, belly fat gain decreased by<br />
3.7% over a 5-year period.<br />
It seems eating a high fiber diet can help decrease your abdominal fat.<br />
If you want to get rid of your belly fat including the fat in your lower belly, make an effort to<br />
consume high-fiber foods every day.<br />
Soluble fiber can be found in foods such as flaxseeds, Brussels sprouts, avocados, legumes, and<br />
blackberries.<br />
Just 1 cup of cooked lentils contains 16 grams of dietary fiber, which is 63% of your daily<br />
recommended value, and 18 grams of high-quality protein.<br />
4. Eat More Protein to Lose Belly Fat<br />
A high-protein diet has been proven effective in reducing cravings by 60%, boosting metabolism by<br />
up to 100 calories per day, and helping you eat fewer calories throughout the day.<br />
But that's not all what protein is good for.<br />
Evidence shows that protein is also particularly good for fighting off belly fat.<br />
One study shows that protein consumption has an inverse relationship with excess belly fat. That is<br />
people who ate more and better protein had much less abdominal fat.<br />
One Denmark study shows protein's direct link to a reduced risk of belly fat gain over a 5-year<br />
period.<br />
Also, as it turns out, the "best diet to lose belly fat" may be a high protein diet.<br />
A great starting point for an "ideal protein diet" is to include proteins that make up 25 to 30% of total<br />
calories.<br />
Make an effort to include proteins in every meal.<br />
Protein doesn't have to be meat based. Plant protein is a great protein source with fewer fats and<br />
near zero cholesterol.<br />
Good high plant-based protein foods include tofu, lentils, beans, nuts, quinoa, spirulinaand even<br />
some whole grains products. Learn to include them in your diet for a good protein meal.<br />

5. Eat Healthy Fats<br />
It may sound counterintuitive to eat fat to lose fat, but adding healthy fats like coconut oil to your<br />
meals is in fact pretty effective and helpful in losing abdominal fat.<br />
The effectiveness can even magnify when you replace harmful, unhealthy fats with good ones.<br />
For example, fats like trans fats, known as partially hydrogenated fats often found in margarine and<br />
spreads are your belly fat villain. In animal testing, a 33% belly fat gain was seen in animals on a<br />
high transfat diet compared to the ones on a diet high in monounsaturated fats.<br />
Trans fats have also been named as a cause of insulin resistance, heart diseases, and belly fat gain in<br />
animal studies. Needless to say, it's best to be avoided and replaced with their healthier<br />
counterparts.<br />
As opposed to trans fats, a moderate consumption of coconut oil may help with metabolism boost as<br />
well as the reduction in belly fat, suggested by controlled studies .<br />
In one 12-week study, obese men lost on average 1.1 inches in waists after taking coconut oil every<br />
day.<br />
The best result has been seen when 2 tablespoons or 30ml of coconut oil are taken daily.<br />
6. Drink Water Regularly<br />
Water is a missing puzzle piece for many people when trying to lose belly fat, and it's essential you<br />
drink plenty of water daily.<br />
There are several reasons for this, and one is your cells need to be well hydrated to burn fat, and<br />
dehydration can be stall the process.<br />
The second reason is its positive effect on daily total calorie consumption.<br />
One study reported having a few glasses of water prior to a meal can lower your calorie intake by up<br />
to 75 calories a meal by expanding one's stomach and providing satiety.<br />
Ditching sodas for water can also contribute to belly fat reduction by slashing 300-400 calories a day<br />
from sugary drinks.<br />
For maximum benefits, keep yourself hydrated with water throughout the day and be sure to have a<br />
glass before starting a meal.<br />

7. Drink Lemon Water<br />
Love drinking juice? It's one habit you need to be prepared to toss to reduce your abdominal fat.<br />
A better, more belly fat friendly alternative is lemon water. This infused water is particularly known<br />
to help decrease your weight and body fat.<br />
This is, in fact, no surprise considering lemon is a popular weight loss food with soluble pectin fiber<br />
that is known to bring satiety by expanding in your stomach.<br />
Lemons, mostly made up of soluble fiber are also effective in improving gut health, slowing the<br />
digestion and starches.<br />
These effects are believed to aid in blood sugar management and help with weight loss and fat loss<br />
which includes your belly fat.<br />
8. Take Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
Apple cider vinegar is a recent craze, but its health benefits have been known and proven for years.<br />
And having a tablespoon a day can be effective for your belly fat loss too.<br />
Several animal studies have confirmed that a compound called acetic acid in apple cider vinegar<br />
contributes to a reduction in belly fat storage.<br />
In another 12-week study done on obese men, 1.4 cm or half an inch of reduction in waists was seen<br />
as a result of daily apple cider vinegar consumption.<br />
For best results, take 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day for your abdominal fat loss.<br />
9. Do Aerobic Exercises<br />
Aerobic exercise is best known for burning calories, helping people to lose weight fast, and improving<br />
your heart health.<br />
But did you know cardio is also one of the most effective forms of exercise to losing belly fat?<br />
According to a new study, the best type of exercise to burn unhealthy belly fat is aerobic exercise.<br />
In their 8-month study, participants who performed aerobics reduced 2.5 square inches of their belly<br />
fat, a greater fat loss than those who combined aerobics with weight lifting.<br />
The effectiveness of aerobic exercise for losing belly fat, particularly visceral fat is also cited by a few<br />
other sources. But what we don't know conclusively yet is whether moderate or high-intensity cardio<br />
brings better results.<br />
More research is to come out in this area.<br />
Another variable proven to be critical in exercise for fat loss is how often and how much you exercise.<br />
In short, it's consistency that seems to bring the most success to belly fat reduction and loss of total<br />
body fat.<br />

A case study that involved postmenopausal women saw success in fat loss from all areas with 300-<br />
minute per week cardio versus recommended 150 minutes per week.<br />
10. Do Resistance Training<br />
Based on the findings in the earlier sections, cardio benefits for belly fat, you can be doubtful of the<br />
effectiveness of resistance training including weight lifting and strength training for fat loss, but don't<br />
underestimate their training.<br />
According to studies in people diagnosed of pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease,<br />
resistance training, is still needed and effective in fighting your abdominal obesity and melting belly<br />
fat, especially the dangerous visceral fat.<br />
This benefit was visible in a study in overweight teenagers who lost the greatest amount of visceral<br />
fat by incorporating both resistance training and cardio in their exercise regimens.<br />
11. Get More Sleep<br />
The easiest way to lose belly fat is to get adequate, quality sleep at night, as sleep is an essential<br />
part of your health, weight, and belly fat.<br />
A long study involving 68,000 women shows those who sleep 7 hours or more at night is less likely to<br />
gain weight than those sleep for 5 hours or less.<br />
Those with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea are also more prone to gaining visceral fat.<br />
To prevent any weight gain and waist expansion, aim at least 7 hours of sleep at night, and speak<br />
with your doctor with any sleep issues.<br />
12. Try Intermittent Fasting<br />
Think of intermittent fasting as a short-term, temporary fasting if you are not familiar.<br />
It's more of an eating schedule that gives your tummy a break from eating in the 24-hour period.<br />
The actual pattern seems to vary per programs, but typical ones involve 16 hours of fasting a day,<br />
leaving you the rest of 8 hours to consume food.<br />
In some studies, intermittent fasting has shown 4-7 % decrease in belly fat within 6-24 weeks.<br />
This is a more advanced technique and may require more careful planning, but for the easiest<br />
application, you can set your first meal at 11 am and last meal at 7 pm, leaving you the<br />
recommended 16 hours to empty out your stomach.<br />

The theory behind it is that emptying your stomach and depriving of the main energy source for a<br />
period of time has your body seeks out an alternative or secondary energy source, which is stored<br />

13. Drink Green Tea<br />
Matcha is a trending word that makes a regular appearance on medical magazines to Starbucks<br />
menus today for its health benefits.<br />
And of course, matcha is a traditional Japanese word for their be-loved health drink, green tea.<br />
Over the years, green tea has spread and attracted devoted fans across the world and is growing<br />
without boundaries.<br />
Unlike many popular health trends, green tea's popularity is not just a hype or without basis. It's a<br />
solid drink with powerful health benefits like boosting metabolism and decreasing body fat.<br />
Studies show the source is in caffeine and antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a catechin<br />
found in green tea and known to be linked to effective belly fat loss.<br />
Some studies further report fat loss benefits of green tea are even greater when combined with<br />
exercise.<br />
To make a matter simple and cover the bases, make it a habit to have a glass or cup of green tea<br />
after each workout. According to science, it'll be helpful in reducing your belly fat.<br />
14. Change Your Lifestyle<br />
Since a good friend tells it like it is, here we go.<br />
Be ready to change your ways and adopt at least few to see any change in your belly fat. Just doing<br />
one thing from the list won't quite cut it and bring any visible and measurable result you want to see.<br />

The NY State Empire Building is about the view on the outside, and also on<br />

The Fifth Avenue lobby is one of the few interiors in New York to be designated a historic landmark<br />
by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. In 2009, 18 months were spent restoring its aesthetic to<br />
the original 1930 design - it only took 13 months to build the entire building!<br />
Highlights of the lobby include the Art Deco inspired ceiling murals—in a homage to the mechanical<br />
age, planets and stars are rendered as an assembly line of gears, brought back to life in 24-karat gold<br />
and aluminum leaf—and, on the wall above the front desk in the Fifth Avenue lobby is one of the most<br />

Special topic research study project<br />
<strong>MCM</strong> Special Topic: Human Photographic Memory<br />
have it.<br />
You might not have it, that make not everyone<br />
“You might expect that an individual who claims to still see a picture after it<br />
has been removed would be able to have a perfect memory of the original<br />
picture. After all, a perfect memory is what is usually implied by the commonly<br />
used phrase "photographic memory." Scientificamerican.com<br />
Photographic memory is a term often used to describe a person who seems able to recall visual<br />
information in great detail. Just as a photograph freezes a moment in time, the implication for people<br />
thought to have photographic memory is that they can take mental snapshots and then recall these<br />
snapshots without error. However, photographic memory does not exist in this sense.<br />
It is easy to demonstrate this by asking people who think they have photographic memory to read two<br />
or three lines of text and then report the text in reverse order. If memory worked like a photograph,<br />
these people would be able to rapidly reproduce the text in reverse order by "reading" the photo.<br />
However, people cannot do this.<br />
Memory is more like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle than a photograph. To recollect a past<br />
event, we piece together various remembered elements and typically forget parts of<br />
what happened (the color of the wall, the picture in the background, the exact words<br />
that were said). Passing over details helps us to form general concepts.<br />
34
<strong>MCM</strong> <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

We are good at remembering the gist of what happened and less good at remembering<br />
(photographically) all the elements of a past scene. This is advantageous because what<br />
is important for memory is the meaning of what was presented, not the exact details<br />
present at any given time.<br />
Of course, people vary in their ability to remember the past. How well we remember<br />
things depends largely on how well we pay attention when material is presented.<br />
Additionally, the extent to which we replay the material in our minds and relate it to<br />
what we already know affects our ability to remember.<br />
Some people with excellent memory use elaborate techniques to help them remember.<br />
Others are able to effortlessly recall vast amounts of autobiographical information<br />
spanning most of the lifetime. Scientists are learning more about memory by studying<br />
these people, as well as people who have very poor memory as the result of neurological<br />
injury or disease.<br />
