    What are the dangers of the BBL?
    Oct 12 2026
    Beauty standards are always shifting. Back in the '60s through the '90s, especially in the West, the ideal body for women was all about being slim, think long, lean silhouettes and flat bottoms. But by the late '90s and especially in the 2010s, that completely flipped. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj helped usher in a new trend, one that celebrates curves, especially a fuller derriere. To achieve this look, some people turn to cosmetic surgery. And there’s one procedure in particular that’s become famous, and notorious: the BBL. So, what exactly is a BBL? But why is the risk so high? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What three habits make us age fastest?
    Oct 12 2026
    Getting older frightens a lot of people and for some it even becomes an obsession. American multimillionaire and biohacker Bryan Johnson is perhaps the most prominent example from this day and age. Now of course some aspects of ageing, including our genes, are totally beyond our control. But still, our everyday behaviour can influence our healthspan, which is the number of years we remain in good health. Three habits in particular are associated with a greater risk of age-related illness and premature death. What are these habits? Is lack of sleep a factor?

  • What was the Nazis' Madagascar Plan?

    What was the Nazis' Madagascar Plan?
    Oct 12 2026
    When we talk about the Holocaust, most of us immediately think of death camps like Auschwitz or Dachau, chilling symbols of the Nazis’ “Final Solution”. But before they reached that level of industrialised brutality, the Nazis explored other ways to remove Jews from Europe. One plan, both absurd and terrifying, was to send all Jews to the distant island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. How on earth did the Germans come up with that idea? What happened for the plan to take off in 1940? Why didn’t it happen then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What 5 foods can improve brain performance?

    What 5 foods can improve brain performance?
    Sep 14 2026
    Eating a healthy diet that includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish can help you keep your brain in tip-top shape. There are plenty of brain boosting foods but here are five that you might want to start including. First of all, oily fish. When people talk about brain foods this is often at the top of the list. This type of fish includes salmon, trout, tuna, herring, and sardines, all of which are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are a major building block of the brain, and they play a role in sharpening memory and improving mood, as well as protecting your brain against cognitive decline. What if you do not eat fish? What foods are good for memory? What’s an all round good food for the brain? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What does my urine colour say about my health?

    What does my urine colour say about my health?
    Sep 14 2026
    Over the course of our lifetime, we around 34,000 litres of urine, according to Business Insider. Urine evacuates the nitrogen-containing waste produced by the organs and expelled into the blood, like urea and uric acid for example. It's also made up of water and mineral salts. It tends to be a clear shade of yellow, ranging from pale to dark at different times of the day. Nevertheless, our pee can come in as many as ten different shades, which can on occasion lead to unpleasant surprises when going to the bathroom. Some are due to what we eat and drink, while others are caused by health conditions like urinary infections, diabetes or kidney stones. As we approach World Kidney Day, which falls on 9th March every year, let’s take a moment to go through all those various colours and what they may mean from a health perspective. To start out, why is it yellow most of the time? What are the oddest colours urine can take on? What if the colour doesn’t go back to normal? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Could insects replace meat?

    Could insects replace meat?
    Sep 13 2026
    Although it is quite usual to find insects in markets in both Africa and Asia it is rather more unusual for people in the West to eat them. However, with increased awareness of animal welfare and environmental concerns around eating meat people are beginning to think more seriously about insects as food rather than something to be swatted. The problem is that a lot of people find eating bugs pretty off putting, but now scientists have discovered that mealworms, traditionally used as pet food or as bait for fishing, have a rather meat-like flavour when cooked with sugar and could maybe offer new hope to the insects-as-food debate. What are the benefits of eating insects? What are the disadvantages of eating meat? So will we be seeing insects in supermarkets soon? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
