7 beaches you should avoid
No.2. Seediness: Pattaya, Thailand

That said, the beer-bar culture is more subdued and the sex industry less evident than in years gone by –- families can avoid the "entertainment" district of this city of 800,000 people by staying in nearby Jomtien.

The beaches are lackluster by Thailand's impressive standards and the shoreline is packed with unremarkable hotels and restaurants. Throw into the mix the common sight of countless fat old gents promenading along the beaches with their "girlfriends" in tow and you have a recipe for an experience that can challenge to uplift.

Deck chairs and umbrella concessions dominate beach space in both Pattaya and Jomtien, so those wishing to enjoy the sun, sand and water for free are forced to cram into small areas of beach between -- a frequent complaint from tourists that local government officials say they are trying to solve.

Not every beach can be a postcard. As these renowned spots prove.

a hormone naturally found in muscle cells that triggers the calorie-burning benefits of exercise, may have potential as an obesity-fighting drug.

The newly identified hormone, called irisin, increases in the body during exercise, boosting energy expenditure and controlling blood glucose levels.

A new drug that could provide new treatment for a range of obesity related disorders without a need to hit the gym has been developed by scientists.
