      <description >On this weeks Ask the Naked Scientists we find out how to live a healthy lifestyle.  We count calories to see just how many we burn during exercise, we work out how to lose weight the healthy way and discuss the difference between calories and fat.  We also discover why coloured bubble bath produces white bubbles, whether removing salt from the ocean could reduce our chances of flooding and could animals know about natural disasters before we do?  All that and many more of your questions answered on this weeks podcast.

We&apos;ll be looking into the genes behind your eye colour, why planes are so noise when they go supersonic and how exactly we get our beloved petrol and diesel from its original source-crude oil.

We&apos;ll also be investigating the best time to walk your dog, why the South Pole is colder than the North Pole and how a collision with our earth created our moon. All that and more of your questions answered on this week&apos;s podcast.
