When you are looking to book a holiday,it is unlikely that you will think about how green your
booking decision is,but it is definitely something that should be taken into
”green”we are of course talking about the impact on the environment.
When looking to book a holiday,you will probably find that you are faced with two main
first is to go into a travel agency,pick up a stack of brochures half the size of
persons,read through them and go back with just the one and book with the travel agents directly
or over the second is to miss out the shops and brochures altogether and go onto the
Internet.
The Internet holds many advantages over the high street travel agents,the main one being
can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day,whether it is in that
20minutes before work starts in the morning,half an hour at your desk at lunchtime or even at
home on your laptop in front of the television at are no time constraints to going
online,while the travel agents are usually massively busy at times when people can actually
go, hours or at the could use the telephone but you wouldn’t be able to see
the pictures or all the details of the holidays,so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.
There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much
websites are known as price comparison websites.1celolly,Travel Supermarket and Deal Checker
are examples of some of the best-known price comparison sites to look for cheap holiday
deals,and they essentially search through lots of different tour operators so that you don’t have
results are then displayed on one page from which you can book,meaning that you don’t
even need a lot of time to do this.
The contrast with the travel agencies is that you probably have to take two trips,with brochure
reading in between,and this is where the green side of things comes piles and piles of
brochures are definitely not green,and the amount of unnecessary paper used can’t be good for the
the days f the Internet,smart phone,tablets and computers,there is really no need
for such a large amount of paper to be not only will it save you time and effort to book
online,it will do a little bit towards saving the environment too!
booking decisions should definitely be a consideration in booking your holiday.

American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition
,sleep deprivation can cause people to pack on extra pounds.
Researchers at the New York 0bestity Nutrition Research Centre at

In a vicious cycle,sleep loss also causes our bodies to release more
ghre1in,another hormone that signals hunger,and less 1eptin,the hormone that tells
your stomach that it’s your hormones no longer working in the normal
way,your body wants more food and lacks the sensitivity to know when to stop
to mention that being awake more hours gives you more time to snack.
“The later you’re up at night,the greater the likelihood that you’re going to
eat,”Breus says,and”you’re more likely to eat high-fat,high-carb foods.”
One other contributing factor to such weight gain is that the body burns the most
calories during REM sleep,a deeply restful phase,Less sleep means less time in REM.
For optimal health,experts say you should try to get 7.5 hours of sleep a
