This critter lurks in the ocean's midnight zone, has a voluminous hood, is completely see through and is bioluminescent. It's unlike any nudibranchs deep sea experts have ever seen before — and now, the researchers who spent twenty years studying them have finally published their findings.

What new deep sea creature is discussed?
Ari like scooted forward to the table. Let's do it. All right. Come up to our science-backed holiday eating buffet table. Tip number one, don't skip meals before the big holiday feast.
I actually don't have that problem. I'm not one to skip meals.
Well, Ari, one in four people surveyed thought that was a good idea.
OK, I'm just going to have coffee or I'm not going to eat until dinner. And that's really counterproductive to what we should be doing.
That's Shana Manai-Spence, a registered dietitian not involved in the survey, but she suggests eating small meals with protein and fiber throughout the day and says that that will keep you from overeating like during the big meal.
Overeating I thought was the whole point of the holidays. OK, what's tip number two?
Tip two, ditch those detoxes you see online. You know the ones I'm talking about because you can be thankful for your kidneys and liver, those organs for detoxing and filtering out stuff your body doesn't want. Shauna and the dieticians at Orlando Health made it clear you don't need any sort of over-the-counter or home remedy.
They don't live up to the true detox promise and they're a waste of money and can sometimes even be harmful.
No binging on celery juice and chili pepper, huh?
