Welcome to Plathville star Barry Plath is working on his fitness amid his split from wife, Kim Plath.

For Menopause Awareness Month, Acupuncturist Katherine Berry reveals 4 proven reasons acupuncture could be an holistic alternative to HRT for Menopause 

Menopause is associated with a wide range of uncomfortable physical and psychological symptoms.

Although menopause is a natural phenomenon, the years before and after the menopause can be associated with various symptoms, ranging from mild to severe.

According to the British Menopause Society, the average duration of symptoms is a shocking seven years!

Currently, the most common treatment is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, many women are reluctant to try HRT and are therefore seeking alternatives.

Since the menopausal transition is such personal journey, there is no ‘one-size-fits all’ solution. Tailored treatments such as those used in traditional Chinese and East Asian medicine (TCEAM) may provide benefits with, or instead of HRT.

Period panties – if you haven’t yet heard of them, the time is now. Healthista finds out more about period underwear, its benefits and our favourite brands 

The buzz surrounding period panties continues to grow, but if you’re still unsure exactly what period underwear is, we’re here to explain more plus we want to share with you the brands we trust and have tried for ourselves.

‘Plastic bags take up to 500 years to decompose in our landfills, before breaking down into micro plastics that pollute our oceans, rivers, beaches and contaminate our water,’ warns Paige Fashoni – Founder of FLUX Undies.

  • Physical activity is known to promote bone and muscle health.
  • Aging, lifestyle, and chronic disease can lead to physical inactivity, which is associated with bone and muscle loss.
  • New research has now identified a drug that can mimic physical exercise in mice.
  • The new drug, called locamidazole, can increase bone formation, mineral density, muscle thickness, and muscle strength in mice.

When we are physically active our bones and muscles work together to make them stronger. To maintain bone health, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends a combination of weight-bearing activities 3–5 times per week and resistance exercise 2–3 times a week.

Research has shown lifelong exercise to be beneficial for preserving bone health, and a reduction in physical exercise results in bone loss. The CDC advocates regular physical activity to strengthen

Back pain driving you crazy? Healthista spoke to chiropractor Dr Stefaan Vossen, Clinical Director at Core Clinics who identifies everyday activities making it worse and what you can do to help 

People often relate to their backs, especially their spines, as being somewhat fragile, delicate and in need of protection.

They therefore worry about ‘hurting their back’ by doing simple things, especially if they’ve had back pain or injuries in the past or feel the beginnings of a back pain flare up.

The spine and its supporting structures are very robust and flexible, especially if you regularly work on strengthening and mobilising your back.

these types of events are usually a ‘straw breaking the camel’s back’ moment

More damage tends to be done by overprotecting your back by unnecessarily reducing activity out of fear, than by keeping active.

While people do sometimes experience back pain or their back ‘going out’

Operation weight loss – Healthista’s Olivia Hartland-Robbins joins Lift Studios Fulham to help her get back in shape. With 5 non-negotiable healthy rules to stick by, here is rule number 2 – move daily 

‘Mark I’m miserable. None of my clothes fit me and I’ve lost all my confidence’ – these were my exact words as I sat there holding back the tears and asking for weight loss help.

I had gained 17kg’s in 3 years (that’s nearly 40 lbs)! Why? Lockdowns, family illness and job pressures, to name just a few reasons.

Feeling unhealthy, constantly exhausted and insecure meant it was time to make a healthy change. Most of us set goals in January, but the ‘new year, new me’ mentality can often pile on the pressure, so why not start now?

Blue-check liberals on Twitter rallied behind Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman after journalists questioned the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor’s mental fitness following his interview with NBC News.

Ever since he suffered his stroke earlier this year, Fetterman has largely refrained from doing media appearances with the exception of friendly interviews on MSNBC.

On Tuesday, however, he granted his first in-person interview, which showed him relying on closed-caption technology from a desktop computer so he could read questions in real time.

“In small talk before the interview, without captioning, it wasn’t clear he was understanding our conversation,” NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns told Lester Holt at the top of the “NBC Nightly News” report.

A string of miscues from Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman on the Senate campaign trail is fueling questions about his fitness for office.

Fetterman suffered a stroke in May, and his gradual return to the campaign trail has been marred by verbal stumbles and miscues.

“The [Philadelphia] Eagles are so much better than the Eagles!” Fetterman told a Philadelphia crowd late last month.

“I’m doing fantastic, and it’s not about kicking balls in the authority or anything,” Fetterman recently told MSNBC host Chris Hayes. (Fetterman mixed up the phrase “kicking authority in the balls,” which is how Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz had described Fetterman.)

“And make sure you take advantage of this amazing opportunity to, the only thing you have… stand… to lose is your record,” Fetterman said in a prerecorded video to supporters last month.
