Just read an article on WebMD that discusses new research out of the University of Florida.
The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, reveals that children who are obese by age 4 are more likely to have lower IQ scores.
Specifically, children that weigh 150% more than their ideal weight had IQ scores that were 25-30 points lower.
While many would tend to think that the morbid obesity caused the brain power deficit; to me it seems just as plausible that a pre-existing disorder of the brain predisposes towards obesity and a lower IQ test score.

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one’s teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
Think about it first before looking below for the answer…

He opens his mouth and says, “I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses”.
