The science of oxygen: why more could mean better

Wed, Jun 24, 2026

As World Wellbeing Week invites us to reflect on what it really means to feel well, much of the focus tends to fall on lifestyle: sleep, nutrition, and movement. But beneath all of these is something more fundamental: how well our bodies are supplied with oxygen.

Oxygen is essential to how we function. Our cells depend on it to produce energy, repair damage, and maintain normal activity. With good oxygen delivery, these processes run efficiently. But when delivery is limited, it can lead to slower physical recovery or fatigue.

Why so many people struggle to lose weight — even when they’re trying hard

Thu, Jun 18, 2026

Eating less, skipping treats and trying to exercise more, yet the weight still refuses to move, is becoming an increasingly common frustration for many, according to local weight loss coach Grace, who says the issue is often not a lack of willpower, but a slowing metabolism.

A to Z of women’s style

Thu, Jun 18, 2026

Alterations. Fit is one of the most important style principles. A well fitting garment not only hangs and moves well, it creates a sleek silhouette.

A to Z of men’s style

Accessories. They are the key to style and can transform a basic minimalist outfit into a memorable one or elevate a daytime look into a nighttime winner. These essential details act as a powerful tool for self-expression, allowing you to introduce additional colours and trends into your day-to-day wardrobe. A wallet, watch, ring, belt, tie, bag (a weekend backpack, messenger, laptop, or gym one) are all examples of accessories. A well-chosen tie, for example, can inject a pop of colour into a neutral suit or a slick leather messenger bag can make a style statement. Similarly, scarves and hats do not solely ward off winter chills, they add a layer of texture and a splash of colour to your outfit.
