From the article:
"When a person is in a space with a 10-foot ceiling, they will tend to think more freely, more abstractly," said Meyers-Levy. "They might process more abstract connections between objects in a room, whereas a person in a room with an 8-foot ceiling will be more likely to focus on specifics."
The research demonstrates that variations in ceiling height can evoke concepts that, in turn, affect how consumers process information. The authors theorized that when reasonably salient, a higher versus a lower ceiling can stimulate the concepts of freedom versus confinement, respectively. This causes people to engage in either more free-form, abstract thinking or more detail-specific thought. Thus, depending on what the task at hand requires, the consequences of the ceiling could be positive or negative.

Diet, exercise and healthy living can prevent a third of cancer cases in developed countries and a quarter in developing countries.
While the type of calories, whether from fat or carbohydrate, generally don't matter for weight loss, the type of fat and carbohydrates may matter for your health. Transfats and refined carbohydrates are not as good for you as eating unsaturated fats and high-fiber, whole-grain carbs.
A writer tries the Master Cleanse Diet for two days, subsisting only on water, flavored with maple-syrup, lemon juice and some cayenne pepper. His experience is illuminating. This is probably why fasting is often employed by many religions.
For effective weight loss, you may need to pick a diet that works for your body type. Apple-shaped people seem faster at secreting insulin compared to pear-shaped people. This appeared to make low-fat diets less effective for them and low-carb or high-fiber diets that restrict high-glycemic index foods (refined carbohydrates) more effective for weight loss. For pear-shaped people, both types of diets seem to lead to similar levels of success.

Men don't like women with big chins which is often thought of as masculine looking. It turns out that big chins are a sign of more testosterone and women with big chins are more likely to cheat.
The good news is: "Women (and perhaps men) with larger chins are also more sexually assertive and perhaps better in bed."

If someone thinks things are out of his hands, he is more likely to cheat.

Here's another subtle way that one's station in life perpetuates itself. Higher socio-economic status seems to unconsciously play out in people's body language, with people of higher socioeconomic status seemingly acting more "rude when conversing with others" by exhibiting "more 'impolite' behaviors, such as grooming, doodling and fidgeting" and lower status students showing "more 'I'm interested' gestures" like, laughing, nodding their heads and raising their eyebrows.
Here's weight loss advice that really works based on the experiences of successful losers.
Traffic pollution may cause genetic changes in the womb that increase a child's risk of developing asthma.
...They found evidence of a possible new biomarker -- an epigenetic alteration in the gene ACSL3 -- associated with prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are created as byproducts of incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as gasoline.
PAH levels are high in heavy-traffic areas, and exposure to PAHs has been linked to such diseases as cancer and childhood asthma."
