That dark room might even lead to lethargy and lead you to procrastinate. 2. Lack of meditation: An early morning meditation session can help you shed those extra kilos. Meditation helps reduce the stress-inducing hormone called cortisol. An imbalance of cortisol can cause expended appetite and thus weight gain. Try and indulge in a few minutes of meditation the moment you wake up. This also ensures you spend a more productive and happier day. 3. Not Having Breakfast: No matter what anyone sa...

Thankfully, deodorants and antiperspirants can keep us smelling fresh. “Deodorant protects against odor, but they do not decrease perspiration, while antiperspirants control sweat, which in turn also helps control odor,” explains dermatologist Dr. David Bank, founder, and director of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic & Laser Surgery in Westchester, New York. “Sweat in and of itself doesn’t have an odor, but the bacteria that thrives in these areas is what contributes to the odor.
