Whether you’re the one being left or the one doing the leaving, a breakup always presents certain challenges. It’s pretty common to try to learn from the relationship that’s ended, in order to move forwards in a positive way. And those takeaways can help us gain perspective and avoid making the same mistakes in the future. 

But when that kind of rumination becomes excessive and persists with time, it can become problematic. In late 2024, American psychologist Marie Land came up with the term “love echoing” to describe those kinds of thoughts.

Where does the “echo” part of the term come from? What are the possible consequences of love echoing then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Many of us have a ritual of falling asleep to our favorite tunes or a comforting podcast. It’s no surprise we find solace in this routine; after all, music is known to dial down blood pressure and heart rate, ease anxiety, and reduce cortisol levels.

The benefits don’t stop there – music can also boost oxytocin production and sweep away those pesky negative thoughts, setting the stage for a peaceful night’s rest. For those battling chronic pain, melodies can be a balm, offering a more tranquil slumber thanks to music’s proven pain-dulling powers. In fact, the innovative Music Care app, developed by Dr. Stéphane Guétin, even lets healthcare providers prescribe tunes as a form of pain management.

What’s the best soundtrack for slumber? Does a musical bedtime routine make a difference? Are there any potential pitfalls to this melodic method? And what about falling asleep with the TV on? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Intermittent fasting (IF) isn’t just a diet; it’s a pattern of eating. It’s not about what you eat, but when. The idea is simple: you cycle between periods of eating and fasting.

Popular methods include the 16/8 method, this involves fasting for 16 hours each day and eating all meals within an 8-hour window. On the 5:2 diet you eat normally for 5 days of the week and restricting calories to about 500–600 on the other 2 days. Finally, there is the Eat-Stop-Eat method that involves a 24-hour fast once or twice a week.

What are the benefits of skipping meals ? What are the disadvantages ? How can you make it work for you ?

When we think of those who have high blood sugar, we tend to think of people with diabetes, as they often have to monitor their levels and sometimes undergo insulin treatment. But actually everybody can have blood sugar spikes, and many of us do without even realising. These occur when a simple sugar called glucose builds up in the blood. This is known as hyperglycemia.

High blood sugar can make your mouth dry, make you feel thirsty, give you blurred vision and make you need to pee often. Overconsumption, particularly of added sugar, can lead to a calorie surplus, and therefore result in weight gain. Being overweight can in turn lead to other health issues, like heart disease and other problems. Consuming too much sugar can also damage your teeth. 

Do I need to be cutting sugar out of my diet completely then? What can I do about it then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We’re only a few weeks from the official start of summer, but you wouldn’t guess it given the wet conditions that we’ve seen for most of spring 2024. According to BBC News, March, April and May 2024 have all been among the wettest on record for their respective months.

So don't put away your umbrella just yet! Beyond the obvious inconvenience of getting caught in a downpour, many people believe that bad weather directly affects their mood and health. And some people are more sensitive than others; these individuals are known as "weather-sensitive."

How do you distinguish between weather-sensitive people and the rest of the population? Are you saying that for most people the weather has no impact at all on their mood then? What’s the best way to deal with feeling down in bad weather then?

Having an orgasm triggers a cascade of physiological responses, including the tightening of muscles in the pelvic and genital regions, and the release of various hormones and neurotransmitters. It sets the heart racing, ramps up breathing, and sends blood rushing to the penis or clitoris, causing them to become erect.

Of course reaching orgasm isn’t guaranteed. Before it happens, there's typically a sequence of desire, arousal, and plateau. An orgasm is marked by intense muscular contractions in the genital area and a profound sense of pleasure. Sometimes, this climax can lead to intriguing reactions.

What's behind the pleasure of an orgasm then? What other reactions are possible? What about spasms or tremors?

For generations, the idea of marrying your first love, living happily ever after, and having lots of kids was considered the ultimate dream. But for Gen Z and younger generations, that vision is shifting. New ways of "making a family" are emerging—like living long-term with friends, co-parenting without being romantically involved, and even entering into a lavender marriage.

A lavender marriage is a union between two people for reasons other than love. Typically, it’s a partnership between a heterosexual person and a queer person that allows them to navigate the world within a heteronormative framework. By creating this unconventional family structure, they can enjoy some of the social and economic benefits of traditional marriage without the romantic entanglements.

Is there a downside to marrying without love ? How does lavender marriage revolutionize the way we relate to each other? Under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Research published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggested that there are nearly 3 million general anesthesia procedures in the UK each year. 

You might already be aware that there are various different types of anesthesia: local, which numbs a small area of the body; regional, which numbs a larger part; and general, typically used for major or lengthy surgeries, where the patient is completely asleep. Today we’re going to be talking specifically about general anesthesia.

How exactly does it knock patients unconscious then? How does it affect the brain? Isn't it dangerous? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
