This Just In

A roundup of new and noteworthy insights from the week’s most talked-about studies:

1 ART CAN AFFECT YOUR APPETITE

A small study in the journal Appetite found that a group who viewed images of impossibly thin sculptures by artist Alberto Giacometti ate less chocolate and blueberries afterward than the control group.

2 AMERICAN WORKERS LOVE YOGA

A study of more than 85,000 adults in the CDC journal Preventing Chronic Disease found that the number of American workers who practice yoga nearly doubled from 6% in 2002 to 11% in 2012. The trend bodes well for output, since activities such as yoga and meditation have been shown to increase productivity.

3 MORE MEN ARE STRUGGLING WITH BODY-IMAGE ISSUES

A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that up to 4 million Americans–mostly male–have tried anabolic steroids at some point. The majority used the drugs to improve their appearance, rather than athletic performance, a marked change from years past.
