Every Christmas, it's normal to take a break from diets to savour festive treats. But what's the actual caloric content of our holiday feasts? According to a study, an average person consumes 5,373 calories on Christmas day—twice the recommended daily average for men and three times for women!

WORD OF THE DAY

Eon

A long period of time. For example, ‘The civilisation thrived for an eon.’ Pronounced as EE-UHN.
