Sammy Margo, a physiotherapist based in London, claims that leggings do look good and help you stay in tune with fashion trends, but they might be (more…)

Are you picky about what you choose to eat?

I used to be, a very long time ago.

However, that probably does not count, because all children are picky.

In the mean time, I achieved the performance of being able to eat almost anything, depending on what’s available.

But, if you are still very hard to please when it comes to food, although you’re an adult, then you should know that you might be actually suffering from a certain disorder.

I don’t have to ask, I’m sure many of you have complained more than once about what the pc or laptop does to you – back pain, neck pain or some other inconvenient.

When we think about the causes of weight gain, we usually think that food is the main culprit for our extra pounds.

That and the fact that we don’t work out as much as we should.

However, some recently published studies show that other factors influence our weight as well as eating too much or not exercising.

As we all know, being on healthy diet includes avoiding eating late in the evening, before bed time.

Some of us respect that more or less, falling into the temptation once in a while.
