because at the time of aclipse, some harmfull waves came from the eclipse. It makes the the food somewhat poisonous. So pepole usually does not eat at that time.

it depends on the person, i mean there are people who have really low blood sugar and can absolutely not miss more then 2 meals, but then look at anorexic people that go like 8 hours, and then only eat like a carrot...\n\nif you mean eating entirely-humans can only last 3 weeks without any food.

Y'all may not want to be out like that at night.  Not eating and then exercising hard is NOT GOOD for you, and is a crappy way to try to force yourself to lose weight.

You are never supposed to stare directly at an eclipse.  It can hurt your eyes.  Most site I have seen it can make you go blind. Other sites said differently.

The Indian superstitions are just that. Like most superstitions, they may be rooted in some actual events that happend. most likely they were from coincidences. However, if they were true, it would be a global superstition because many pregnant women would soon learn that going out to see an eclipse would lead to a child's birth defect. For example, the earthquake struck regions in central Asia feared these eclipses as well. It was because one time when they saw an eclipse a terrible earthquake followed six days after. Coincidence, most likely.

People eat when they are depressed because some foods make your body release small amounts serotonin, which is a chemical your brain is not getting enough of when you're depressed.

yes.  some people have special dietary needs, like diabetics who need to eat at scheduled times.  also, hunger can be distracting, causing students to be less able to focus on their studies.  lunch at school shouldn't be required but it certainly should be available.  for some students from low income families their school lunch is the only meal they get all day. i also think breakfast should be available, but that wasn't really your question.

Yeah, it's just because you've gone too long without eating.  Just force yourself to eat something and you'll feel better.

Just saw on the news a family who has one son serving in Iraq for the SECOND time, & another off in Florida "training." That's enough to make anybody sad. I suppose there can be any number of reasons, & I've "heard" many people are depressed on holidays, not just Thanksgiving. Except for the situation like the one above, I've no idea. I've always enjoyed them. But then, I tend to focus on the "upside" of everything!\n\n*** Just read a couple of answers why some people are sad. I'm truly sorry. I just lost two very good friends, (I don't have any family), & for various reasons, didn't have anyone to "MY" house nor did I feel like driving anywhere, so I roasted a turkey breast & did all the other stuff & it was fun. Now I can go have a turkey sandwich & pecan pie with my kitty & enjoy festive lights across the lake. (NO! My kitty doesn't get any turkey or pie! She's on a diet & wouldn't want it anyway!) Guess you have to open your senses to all the really good things, in spite of the in spite ofs....

It is safer to look at the sun during total eclipse than directly at it. The trouble is you look at it longer and there is where the trouble is.  It is NEVER safe to look at the sun anytime, except indirectly.

Some scientists believe that the weather affects humans much more than we realise in much the same way as it does animals. We already know about S.A.D. ( Seasonal affected disorder) which makes a sufferer feel depressed when not receiving enough sunlight which helps the body to produce vitamin D. Symptoms include lethargy , lack of appetite and generally feeling low and disinterested. Some people are particularly susceptible to magnetism and static caused by storms and suffer from a wide range of symptoms such as feeling nervous and jumpy before a storm and headaches and nausea.\nThis expression has been around for a number of years so I imagine that because people lived closer to nature years ago they had a greater understanding of this phenomenon and that's probably where the saying emerged.

This question could be very easily answered by looking up solar eclipses somewhere such as Wikipedia. \n\nA solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the Earth and Sun, causing people on Earth to be completely or partially unable to see the sun, because the moon is in the way. This is able to happen in spite of the fact that the moon is much smaller than the sun, because while the sun is about 400 times bigger than the moon, it is also 400 times farther away from the Earth than the moon is. \n\nThe reason that a solar eclipse can only happen during the new moon is that the new moon phase is the only time when the moon is in between the Earth and Sun at all.

I don't know why others do it... but my mother has this disease. It is a mental health disorder as well as an eating disorder. Not only does the person who has this order go through it but everyone close to the person does too. It effects everyone. I have two daughters who see their grandmother going through this. One doesn't want to eat too much because she doesn't want to get fat.... which is a genetic problem in my family.... and I have one who over eats because she doesn't want to be as thin as her grandmother. In my own opinion, this is a sickness.... that needs to be brought out more so that more people can avoid this and be aware of it.

Funny, good question. I guess they don't eat or drink for a while before the race. If it were me, I'd loose for sure.

It has nothing to do with individual body weight. People just eat many times a normal serving. Servings are based on nutritional values. And they are as lot less than most people think. Hey lets all go to China Buffet and pig out!!! wheewww!!!

no your metabolism never shuts down. i dont know where that comes from. the reason people say not to eat late at night is because we are not as active when we sleep. we still burn calories, but not as much. so if we dont eat after certian times, we lose weight because that is one less meal we eat that day, not because our metabolism "shuts down"
