– where you have athletic body you can easily gain or loose weight and even muscles.
– where you are softer in muscles and body so you gain weight easily but it is difficult to loose it fast.

The chorda tympani connects facial nerves and the middle-ear, partially responsible for taste reception on the tip of your tongue! This can give you a preference for fatty and energy rich foods. weird right!
3. Taking stress? get ready to become fat!
This one is a big problem for all of us right? We all have one or the other thing to stress about. If you have paid attention, then you must have noticed that you eat more during stress1 taking stress consumes a lot of your energy making you hungry all the more. try to meditate and spend some ‘you’ time to elevate stress from your life.
