If you like texting and are trying to lose weight,a new study found that using texting to track diet and exercise habits may help you lose weight.
   Previous research has shown that keeping food and exercise diaries improves the likelihood of success when you are trying to lose weight.Using a computer or a pen and paper to record information,however,can be a burden and cause some people to give up.
   Duke University researchers said using text messages to track eating and exercise habits can save time,and increase the chances that people will stick with their weight-loss rules.
   The study included 26 obese women with an average age of 38.The women used daily texting as part of their weight-loss program.The text messages focused on tracking personalized goals,such as avoiding sugary drinks or walking 10,000 steps a day.Messages also provided brief feedback(反饋) and tips.
   Every morning,the women received a text from an automated(自動的) system that said,"Please text yesterday's personal information of steps you walked and how many sugary drinks you had." Based on the women's responses to the text message,the system sent another text with personalized feedback and tips.
   After six months,the women who used daily texting lost an average of nearly 3 pounds,while another group of women who used traditional methods to keep food and exercise diaries gained an average of 2.5 pounds,according to the study,which was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
   "Text messaging has become popular and may be an effective method to simplify tracking of diet and exercise behavior," Dori Steinberg,who was responsible for this research,said.
   Steinberg said,"Text messaging offers several advantages compared to other self-monitoring methods.Unlike web-based diet and exercise diaries,data in a text message can be entered quickly on nearly all cellphone platforms,so it is very convenient to receive feedback.Besides,because of the limited number of words used in text messages,it saves time."

  • 1."The world's loneliest elephant" Kaavan,has reached Cambodia --- on a flight of over 4,000km from Pakistan - and will spend his days at the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary in the country's northwest.
       Animal experts began the task of airlifting Kaavan on November 29.His departure from Pakistan marks the end of a campaign led by local activists and American singer and actress Cher,who has been campaigning for the elephant's freedom since 2016.She is the co-founder of the NGO Free The Wild,which has played an important role in Kaavan's relocation.Earlier in October,a veterinarian(獸醫(yī))from Four Paws,Dr Amir Khalil,took the responsibility of moving Kaavan,whose rescue has been described as "the heaviest one" the organisation has undertaken.Cher tweeted to thank Pakistan's prime minister for making the rescue possible.
       A special crate (板條箱)was especially built for the elephant,who weighs more than five tons and is more than three metres high.Kaavan was also trained by an elephant expert for several weeks to make sure that he could enter the crate safely.On the journey,Kaavan was accompanied by wildlife veterinarians and over 200 kg of food.Kaavan is also Pakistan's last Asian elephant and with his departure,the zoo where he was housed for over three decades may close soon,because many animals have been reported missing or dead in recent years.The zoo has repeatedly made headlines for its increasingly awful conditions.
       According to the animal welfare organisation Four Paws,Kaavan came to the Pakistan zoo 35 years ago and shared his room with Saheli.After his "only companion" Saheli died in 2012,Kaavan was reported to be listless and even started showing signs of mental illness.
       Luckily,Kaavan has found his relocation.Cambodian deputy environment minister Neth Pheaktra said,"Our zoo is pleased to welcome Kaavan.No longer will he be the world's loneliest elephant.We expect to breed Kaavan with local elephants.This is an effort to save the gene."
