We're a nation of pill poppers - so it's no surprise vitamins and supplements have become a $50billion-a-year industry. An estimated 70 percent of American's take some form of a supplement each day. But doctors caution that not only are a huge number of the products duds, they might actually harm rather than boost your health.
Women with eczema beware, an itchy feeling down there might be a flare up. In 2023, the CDC estimated that 8.9 percent of adult women had eczema, which represents about fourteen million people.

On a recent trawl around the Bahamas, pop megastar Taylor Swift and boyfriend, Kansas City Chief's tight-end, Travis Kelce were pictured walking hand in hand along the beach. Commentators were quick to pick up on Kelce's soft belly, knighting him with the honorable title of 'Dad Bod'. The term encompasses a broad range of body types but generally refers to men with bulkier, softer bodies, that are strong but not necessarily buff. They can range from athletes like Kelce to actors like Adam Sandler. There's a reason women like Swift find this body so attractive, according to psychologist Joel Wade, a presidential professor at Bucknell University. It conveys to potential mates that a man is a safe, paternal option to nest with, he wrote.

Survey after survey shows dementia is the disease we fear more than any other, even cancer - but there are simple steps we can take to protect ourselves, say experts including Sir Muir Gray, Dr Susan Mitchell and Dr Ian Harrison. This has been confirmed in a major study published today by British experts at Oxford University , which found that drinking less alcohol , reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes and avoiding traffic pollution are the most important factors in cutting your risk of dementia. But what is clear is that many people could avoid or delay the onset of the disease through healthy lifestyle measures and treating risk factors.

Does your beloved pet make your teary-eyed and sniffly? It could mean you're one of the 49 million Americans who are allergic to animal fur. But one TikToker thinks he has stumbled upon a DIY cure for the condition. In a clip posted to the video-sharing platform, one Phoenix-based content creator claimed that he used to be allergic to his cat until he started putting egg white protein powder into his pets' cat food. 'When I Googled this it's 93 percent effective, or something like that,' he says. 'I've spoken to some vets about it...I hope this helps somebody as it did for me.' While it might seem like fluke, allergy specialist Dr Zachary Rubin has taken to TikTok to explain the science behind this 'cure' - and says it actually works. It's estimated that around 15 percent of Americans suffer with pet allergies, a total of almost 50 million.
Giving up shampoo and conditioner - and using just water on your hair -has been a fad that's fallen in and out of fashion over the past few years. Under the hashtags #noshampoo or #nopoo on social media, the trend originally appealed to eco-minded women looking to minimise the number of beauty products they were using. But the latest wave of devotees are from a different demographic - teen boys and young men, who are going shampoo-free in the hope it will help them hang on to their hair and keep it thick and healthy. They are inspired to give it a go after seeing their peer group espousing the benefits on social media.
It is a scary thought that in 1980, when I went to medical school, only one in every 14 British adults was obese. Now it is close to one in four. We didn't see a lot of overweight patients when I was a medical student. These days, the NHS spends millions every year reinforcing beds, building bigger scanners and even designing larger mortuary fridges. And this is only a fraction of the many billions spent treating and managing diseases caused by obesity, such as type 2 diabetes , arthritis and some types of cancer . So why, over the past 40 years, have we Brits become so fat? I firmly believe the main culprit is our increasing reliance on unhealthy takeaways and ultra-processed junk food, which now makes up more than half of most people's daily calories. Ultra-processed foods are the sort of brightly packaged, aggressively marketed food and drinks that fill our supermarket shelves. If you look at the ingredients, they will typically be high in salt, fat and sugar, along with a list of mysterious ingredients you have almost certainly never heard of.
Starbucks' extravagant drinks menu has been bashed repeatedly for items that contain thousands of calories and ungodly amounts of sugar.

A sexual orientation centered around the seductiveness of nature has drawn eye-rolls from social media users, mocking people who have reportedly fallen in love with trees. The term 'ecosexual' is the state of finding nature sexually appealing, whether that means feeling at one with nature's 'energy' or physically caressing nature. The ecosexuality tag on TikTok has been viewed more than 470,000 times, with videos showing people taking freezing cold plunges in creeks, caressing lemons, and rubbing themselves against trees. The term was coined by former sex educated Annie Sprinkle who, in 2008, ‘married’ the earth in a green wedding ceremony. Her ecosexuality involved removing the term ‘mother’ from Mother Earth, and changing it to Lover Earth.

Dietitians have raised the alarm about the risks of ingesting too much of the popular supplement sea moss - after a 28 year-old Connecticut woman developed severe thyroid disease as a result taking the supplement 'sporadically' for just one month. The woman was admitted to the emergency department suffering a range of alarming symptoms such as anxiety, heart palpitations and weight loss. Blood tests later revealed severe nutrient deficiencies, a malfunctioning immune system and elevated levels of thyroid hormones, according to the report published in the Journal of Endocrine Society. This was caused by an excess of the mineral iodine, which is found in sea moss..
England's Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton , sadly announced her cancer diagnosis last week. Though her stage of disease has not been officially confirmed, it appears as though the cancer was spotted in early stages since she's undergoing 'preventative chemotherapy'. If tumors have advanced to other areas of the body, more aggressive types of chemotherapy are traditionally given to kill remaining cancer cells. Kate Middleton also said in her public address that she's feeling 'well' and has assured her three young children she is 'going to be ok'. The young royal's case highlights how important regular screening for diseases can be.

Dr Lauren Yancey, an eye surgeon based at the Georgia vision Institute who researches cancer-related vision loss, has explained the one activity that can bolster the body before treatment, drastically improving the chance of survival.

If you've been on TikTok recently or in couples counselling within the past 30 years, you've probably heard of love languages. This concept operates on the idea that each person has an ideal way to communicate their love. These expressions fall broadly into five different categories spanning from verbal affirmations to gifts. But there might be more languages for you and your partner to learn, according to social psychologist Sara Nasserzadeh. In her new book, entitled 'Love by Design: 6 Ingredients to Build a Lifetime of love', she sets up the framework for a so-called 'touch lexicon'. This essentially means that different types of intimate touch between partners could act as different lines of communication.
