    What are the benefits of No Nut November?
    Nov 22 2024
    You may well be aware of Movember, the month-long focus on men’s health that began in Australia in 2003 and takes place in November each year. But it’s actually not the only male-related November trend that’s grown in prominence in recent years. The idea of the somewhat less serious No Nut November challenge came about in 2011, when a user posted about it on Urban Dictionary. But it wasn’t until the late 2010s that it really gained traction online. How does the challenge work then? Does abstinence have any real benefits? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Do I really need to flush toxins out of my body?

    Do I really need to flush toxins out of my body?
    Nov 22 2024
    There are an increasing number of trends and products out there to rid your body of toxins, such as infrared saunas, liver-purifying supplements and detox diets. But what exactly are toxins? According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a toxin is “a poisonous substance, especially one produced by bacteria, that causes disease.” However, today we tend to use the word toxin to refer to all the harmful substances present in the body such as food additives, pesticides, alcohol, gluten or pollutants. It’s actually kind of misleading, because not all toxins are as bad as one might think. That’s especially true when you consider that our bodies are capable of flushing out toxins on their own, without the need for any fancy treatments or supplements. Which organs in the body are responsible for eliminating toxins? People say that you have to sweat to flush out toxins… is that true? Are we saying there’s no need to flush toxins out after all?

  • How can I choose the right mattress for me?

    How can I choose the right mattress for me?
    Nov 22 2024
    Getting restorative sleep and putting an end to back pain are both good reasons to opt for quality bedding. And if another reason was needed: on average, we spend 7-9 hours in bed every night and around a third of our lives sleeping in total. The problem is it can sometimes be like diving into a sea of options when it comes to mattresses. The most common type is the foam mattress, which adapts to all body shapes. What are the other types of mattresses? Should I go for soft or firm? What if I have back problems? How often should I be changing my mattress? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • How can we live without regrets?

    How can we live without regrets?
    Nov 21 2024
    Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in his work The Joyful Wisdom, explored this through a thought experiment he called the "eternal return." He asked us to imagine: What if you had to live this very life, exactly as it is—every joy, every sorrow, every thought—over and over, for eternity? How would you feel? Would you embrace it? Or, as Nietzsche suspected, would you recoil in horror? Nietzsche believed this reaction reveals a deep-seated struggle many have with regrets and missed opportunities. His work, which dates back to 1882, shows that the anguish of missing out on one's life is not new but common to us all. So how can we avoid regret? What are these common regrets? What about relationships? Are these regrets unavoidable? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why is going to the cinema so romantic?

    Why is going to the cinema so romantic?
    Nov 21 2024
    As date night options go, the cinema is a timeless classic which can be both fun and romantic. Even in the age of “Netflix and chill”, there’s an appeal to the immersive experience you can only get watching a film on the big screen. So if you’re wondering what to do this Valentine’s Day, why not book a cinema visit? You may not be having a conversation, but you can interpret body language. If it’s a first date, and they’re on their phone all the time, that might be off putting. If your date is comfortable enough to hold your hand or let you put your arm around their shoulder without it being awkward, that’s a good sign. Of course, don’t be pushy or intrusive. Make sure you ask your date for consent before trying any kind of physical intimacy. How can you have a good date when you’re not even talking to one another during the film? Any tips for a great cinema date? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: How can I reduce my belly fat?

  • Is skipping meals bad for you?

    Is skipping meals bad for you?
    Nov 21 2024
    No doubt at some point in your life you’ve skipped a meal, whether it was to save money, lose weight or just because you were too damn busy with work. Maybe you even do it on a regular basis, without really knowing whether it’s good or bad for you. Skipping meals makes us more likely to snack afterwards, eating food items which are often high in fat and sugar. Another risk is that you compensate by overeating at your next mealtime. By taking on more calories than you need, you’ll accentuate feelings of hunger. Can I at least skip breakfast? What about when I’m not feeling hungry at all?

  • Do "light" food products really help you lose weight?

    Do "light" food products really help you lose weight?
    Nov 20 2024
    If you believe the marketing slogans printed on their packaging, light or reduced-calorie food products offer you the same enjoyment but with fewer calories. It seems like a no-brainer, right?! In order for a product to be labelled as “light” (with either “-ght” or “-te” at the end), current rules in the UK state that it must be “at least 30% lower in one typical value (calories or fat) than that manufacturer’s standard version of the product in the same range”. Is the taste really as similar as they say? Is it bad for our health? Should I avoid them completely? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
