People in Japan paying thousands to get Premium melons
London [UK], Mar.30 (ANI): What if you get to know about a melon that costs as much as a new car? According to a report in The Independent, the people of Japan are buying melons that cost as much as a new car. This specific variety of melon is called the Yubari King and is actually a cross between two types of cantaloupe. The fruit, only produced in a certain region can be named 'Yubari'. A pair of the premium cantaloupes has recently sold at auction for an astounding 21,500 GBP. That is over 10,000 GBP for one melon. The bidder who claimed the melons is a supermarket buyer in Hyogo Prefecture. "I wanted to return a favour to the farmers of Yubari, who help us every year," he said. The reason Yubari King melons are so expensive is reportedly due to their sweetness. The latest sale has been record-breaking, as previously Yubari melons were bought for no more than 19,000 GBP.

Eating a big breakfast does not help with weight loss

Eating a big breakfast does not help with weight loss

Washington DC [US], September 11 (ANI): There's the old saying in dieting that one must 'breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper,' based on the belief that consuming the bulk of daily calories in the morning optimizes weight loss by burning calories more efficiently and quickly. But according to a new study, whether a person eats their largest meal early or late in the day does not affect the way their body metabolizes calories.
