2 in 3 Women Unhappy With Their Breast Size. Could That Harm Their Health?
Most women won't be surprised by this finding: Less than one-third of women worldwide are satisfied with the size of their
breasts.
But a new study suggests that what many women may not realize is their dissatisfaction could have implications for their
health.
Surveys of more than 18,500 women in 40 countries, average age 34, found that 48% wanted larger breasts, 23% wanted
smaller breasts, and only 29% were satisfied with the size of their breasts.
More troubling was the fact that women who were unhappy with their breast size said they were less likely to do breast
self-examination and were less confident about detecting changes with their breasts -- two important self-care practices
for the early detection of breast cancer.

Will the coronavirus outbreak derail the global economy?
China plays a hugely important world role – and the effects of the crisis could be choppy and lasting by Phillip Inman,
economics editor
At time of publication, the coronavirus had infected close to 40,000 people, the vast majority of them in China, killed more
than 800 and spread to almost 30 countries. Given China’s huge importance to the global economy, the ripple effect could
be choppy and lasting.
Why is China so important to the global economy?
China’s extraordinary economic surge over the past 40 years has resulted in it becoming the world’s second biggest
economy, with a GDP of $13.6tn (£10.4tn) (compared with $20.5tn for the US). Annualized growth of 7% and more – way
beyond the capacity of developed economies – has become the norm.

Plastic for Bus Tickets

In Surabaya, Indonesia, you can often see people walking to their local bus stop, carrying bags of plastic trash. That's because at local bus stations, that trash can be exchanged for bus tickets.

“We can reduce trash so it doesn't pile up at home because we just can bring it here and make good use of it. It's a win-win situation”.

Here's how the system works: Ten plastic cups or five plastic bottles are good for a two-hour bus ticket. It doesn't seem like a lot, but the plastic piles up quickly, and every bit helps because Indonesia, as a whole, has a big plastic problem. Indonesia is one of the biggest contributors in the world for plastic waste and through this initiative, we hope to raise public awareness on the environment, especially issues that relate to plastic trash. All this waste is then separated and auctioned off to recycling companies. The Plastic for Tickets plan is part of an ambitious nationwide initiative called Zero Waste Indonesia 2020.

Deciding on a Career.

If you wanna know how to decide if a career opportunity is a good one, there are several things you have to take into consideration.

Number 1: Does it make your heart sing? The number one feedback system that you were given at birth is joy. If you're not experiencing joy as you think about doing something and as you pursue doing it, then it's off course for you.

You also wanna put your rational mind to work. You want it to do some due diligence. Ask other people who've gone down that road before. What was it like? What did they have to do? What were some of the costs of that path? What were some of the payoffs and the benefits, and really get a sense of what it would be like to do that. Sometimes, you can go and do an internship or you can work for a friend in their restaurant just to see if you like it, 'cause often the fantasy doesn't match the reality.

And the other thing is to simply trust yourself. You know deep inside what's true for you. And if you'll take a few minutes and go inside, we call it meditation, and just ask and sit with the question, and see what kind of feelings come up. Does this feel right? So do all the rational research, but then ultimately bring it back into your heart and decide, "Does this feel good for me?" And if it makes sense up here and it feels good, then step into it. Just lean into it and see what happens. Pursue it.

No decision is forever. You can always change if it's not what you want.

Leia o trecho a seguir e marque a alternativa que apresenta o título que sumariza, adequadamente, as ideias principais.

Getting a diagnosis of diabetes is like getting a second job. The good news is you're management. The bad news is you don't get a vacation. You have to take care of yourself, so you don't burn out.

Whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, there are three tools that will keep you healthier and make managing your diabetes easier.

The first is activity. When you work your muscles, let's say walking around the block, they get their energy by sucking glucose out to the bloodstream, making it easier to control your levels.

If you exercise regularly, a 30-minute walk several times a week, you'll build extra muscle. Even when it's resting, muscle uses more energy than fat. So even when you're not exercising, you win.

The next tool is especially important if you have type 2 diabetes: consume fewer calories. Carbs and sugars turn straight into glucose when they're digested, and that goes directly into your bloodstream.

When you stop overloading your system with excess calories, your body will need less insulin and for all diabetics, that makes regulating your blood sugar a lot easier. If you eat less, you'll lose weight. Losing weight also helps you prevent other complications from heart disease to circulatory problems to back pain.

For type 2 diabetics, diet and exercise have an even bigger payoff. You can slow down or even reverse the progression of type 2 diabetes.

And the third thing, don't stress out. Managing diabetes is a job, but it's not a crisis. Worrying makes you lose sleep. Stress and exhaustion make you want to eat. So, think like a manager. Managing your lifestyle makes managing your diabetes a lot easier.
