What you should and shouldn’t do
Having an immovable forehead makes a great first impression, according to researchers. Photos of people after botox injections were rated better than before on first impressions in terms of dating success, attractiveness and athletic ability. But botoxed faces were rated no better in terms of financial and relationship success or social skills.
Smokers and the overweight are most in favour of the carrot approach when it comes to deciding whether to pay people to change their unhealthy lifestyle or penalise them, US researchers have found. In the same study, people were in favour of rewarding healthy behaviour with lower health insurance, but not on charging people with unhealthy behaviours more — seemingly unaware that the two are the same.
Bad news for those seen sporting faux cigarettes in trendy bars as an attempt to break their tobacco habit. The World Health Organization has warned that electronic cigarettes, which exude a fine mist of nicotine, are not a proven method for quitting.
But unhealthy behaviour could be cheaper in the long run for fellas tipping the heavier end of the scales. Obese men have hormonal changes — including lower testosterone levels — that make fathering a child less likely.
