FEBRUARY: How Can It Be?

The French tend to eat their largest meal in the middle of the day, rather than late at night, and theoretically could be burning those calories all day long, says Dr. Ben-Arie.

“Maybe that makes them less hungry or less likely to snack the rest of the day,” he suggests.

Many people have the perception that French people frequently indulge in fine foods, like cakes and lavish, butter-drenched meats. The reality is many only eat these foods on occasion, not three times a day.

When they do splurge, the French tend to eat smaller portions.

“We’ve gotten to a point where we [Americans] eat a lot – a lot more than we need to,” he says.

While you don’t have to cut your favorite treats from your diet, indulge only occasionally. And when you do splurge, stick to a smaller portion.

JULY : THE ARTS

sofimaribelhernandez — 2023-08-24 02:45:10 UTC

The arts are a very wide range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling and cultural participation. They encompass multiple diverse and plural modes of thinking, doing and being, in an extremely broad range of media. Both highly dynamic and a characteristically constant feature of human life, they have developed into innovative, stylized and sometimes intricate forms. This is often achieved through sustained and deliberate study, training and/or theorizing within a particular tradition, across generations and even between civilizations. The arts are a vehicle through which human beings cultivate distinct social, cultural and individual identities, while transmitting values, impressions, judgments, ideas, visions, spiritual meanings, patterns of life and experiences across time and space.

AUGUST : PASSIVE VOICE AND ACTIVE VOICE

sofimaribelhernandez — 2023-08-24 02:49:01 UTC

When a sentence is written in the active voice, the subject performs the action; in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. In academic writing, it is generally preferred to choose an active verb and pair it with a subject that names the person or thing doing or performing the action.
