It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this
viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning
the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of
these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred
people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations
by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves
tension but rather the act of chewing.
A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave
more flavorful food than non-obese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people
are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were
shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical
associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people.
In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for
carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raise the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough
serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsides.
Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found
that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator, is better in the long run than taking on a
strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and
which also increases appetite.

May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century Peter
Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied
composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and
1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave
him a living stipend of about $1,000.00 a year. Madame von Meck later terminated her friendship with
Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance, when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during
the time of Madame von Meck's patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most
famous, including the music for the ballets of Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty.
Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the
