However, there may be yet another reason to reduce your waistline: New research has linked excess weight to poor brain health.

Ross and Ollie's Bargain Outlet Announce Expansion Plans

The outlook for a lot of the retail industry isn’t exactly rosy at the moment. Major players like Kohl’s are scrambling to regain momentum after reporting a drop in sales and a dismal forecast for the coming year. Others, like JOANN, are closing up all of their shops nationwide and going out of business. But it’s not all doom and gloom out there: Some companies are actually ramping up business and getting ready to increase their footprint. This includes Ollie’s Bargain Outlet and Ross, both of which have announced major expansion plans for the upcoming year.

Target Has Beauty Dupes for Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, and More

Beauty dupes are nothing new. CVS has perfume stand-ins for Chanel and Tom Ford, Dollar Tree sells products that shoppers say rival Glow Recipe and TRESemmé, and Aldi's makeup section includes copycats for Urban Decay, Tarte, and Benefit. But it usually takes some digging and trial and error to find these items and figure out which ones are worth it. Now, though, shoppers say a new brand at Target is entirely made up of dupes, rivaling Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Drunk Elephant, and more for up to $34 cheaper.

We all eat things we may not particularly love for the sake of our health. In most cases, this involves incorporating more veggies into our diet or swapping in a better ingredient for a less nutritious one. Of course, trends can also push this to the limits with some less traditional foods and drinks (we're looking at you, butter coffee)—but how far would you really be willing to go? According to scientists, there could be a surprising new superfood on the horizon: cockroach milk.
