The last ever Oprah show on Wednesday 25th May spelled the end of an era in the USA.
As Americans reflect back on 25 years of Oprah, it is revealed that her November 1988 show about her weight loss was her top rated programme ever. Oprah demonstrated just how much weight she’d lost by pulling a wagon load of fat equivalent to the weight she’d lost.
Unfortunately for Oprah, her battle with weight has been a long and public one. Over the years, viewers saw her lose and gain the weight several times over.
Halitosis, or bad breath, is extremely common. It is estimated that up to half the population suffer with persistent bad breath.
Most people have short periods of bad breath at some point, but most would agree it is unpleasant, causing them to be self-conscious and even withdrawn to a certain degree.
The most common cause of halitosis is dental care.
With statistics from numerous surveys consistently showing that 80-85% of women are still wearing the wrong size bra, getting the right fit can be a minefield.
Researchers have shown a general tendency to a back size which is too large (and therefore prone to ride up) with a cup that is too small to hold the breast properly e.g. wearing a 36C instead of 32E.
Women choosing to have surgery to change the size or shape of their breasts need especially good support, but establishing the right size and fit of bra can be enormously difficult. Our experts provide some useful tips.
Researchers have proven one of the biggest dieting theories… DON’T skip breakfast if you want to lose weight and stay healthy, because there’s a lot of truth in that old saying that “a good breakfast sets you up for the day”.
A healthy protein-rich breakfast makes you feel fuller for longer, which reduces the urge to snack through the day. Missing breakfast is associated with unhealthy snacking and overeating, weight gain and obesity.
BOTOX anti-wrinkle injections are the most popular form of cosmetic treatment today, offering the opportunity to remove or reduce those ageing lines and wrinkles by stopping muscle movement.
However, thanks to media coverage of some extreme cases of overuse, first time users can be quite cautious of how it will look.
The term “Baby BOTOX” has been used to apppeal to first-time patients who have concerns about looking over-done or artificial.
The Hospital Group has issued a warning after learning that an email has been circulated largely in the Philippines regarding nursing positions at The Hospital Group in London.

Research conducted in partnership with the University of the West of England (UWE), has found that 30 percent of women would trade at least one year of their life to achieve their ideal body weight and shape.
These are dramatic findings, which show just how much pressure women feel to have “good bodies”.
Whether for health reasons, societal pressure or aesthetic appearance, body shape was a very important consideration to the women surveyed and the research highlighted that women were dissatisfied with their bodies in general.
The Dukan Diet is the latest phase to hit the media. Billed as a better version of the Atkins diet, its celebrity following is said to include the Duchess of Cambridge (formerly known as Kate Middleton) and her mother, who reportedly used it in advance of the big royal wedding.
However, The British Dietetic Association has now ranked it one of the top five worst diets, while Harvard University’s School of Public Health called it “entirely unscientific.”
A fascinating study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, has identified that it is the eyes that make a face appear fundamentally human and alive.
“There’s something fundamentally important about seeing a face and knowing that the lights are on and someone is home” says Thalia Wheatley of Dartmouth College.
The experiment compared artificial to human faces and identified that the eyes were indeed the key. The results suggest that people scrutinise faces and particularly the eyes for evidence that a face is alive.
