Why do our bellies get fatter as we get older?
As the years go by, those extra inches around the abdomen tend to sneak up on us, and that’s especially true once we hit our fifties. One major player is hormonal shifts. For women, the onset of menopause often brings about weight gain and a burgeoning belly, thanks to a decline in estrogen levels that prompts the body to store fat in the midsection. And fellas, you're not off the hook either—ageing comes with its own hormonal downturn. A drop in testosterone can lead to an uptick in visceral fat. With time, our bodies are no longer the calorie-burning powerhouses they once were, particularly at rest. Past the age of fifty, the body’s muscles start to shrink, causing a dip in baseline metabolism, which is the ability to burn calories. Does our metabolism changes with age? And how can you fend off that belly bulge?

What is the butterfly effect and how does it affect our lives?
The butterfly effect is the idea that a small change in one part of the world can have huge consequences in another. It is often used as a metaphor for how our actions can shape the future in unpredictable ways. The term was coined by the American mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz, who was studying the behavior of weather systems. He discovered that even tiny variations in the initial conditions of a weather model could lead to vastly different outcomes over time. He illustrated this with the example of a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil and causing a tornado in Texas.What kind of systems exhibit the butterfly effect?

How can I know if my partner is micro-cheating on me?
When it comes to what counts as being unfaithful in a relationship, everyone has their own definition. Some might say that only physical contact with another person is cheating, whereas others will argue that even a mildly flirtatious conversation is unacceptable. That's where the concept of micro-cheating comes into play.Micro cheating refers to seemingly minor actions that suggest a person is emotionally or physically invested in someone outside of their relationship. Where it gets tricky is that micro cheating can take many different subtle forms, and each person’s definition is likely to vary. Depending on your intentions, it could be giving your number to someone you find attractive for example.Are there other examples? What are the telltale signs?
