US researchers asked a group of people to refrain from lying for 10 weeks. Duringlthattime, the more honest people were, the fewer sore throats and the less mental tension they suffered. "When they told fewer lies, their relationshios improved, which we think is why their health improved too,” says study author Dr Anita Kelly. In situations when you'd be tempted to fib, like when you're late because you couldn't decide what to wear, be direct instead.

Despite what nearly every dict planin the late Nineties led you to believe, carbs are not your ‘enemy. Yes, if you overeat them, you'll gain - just as with any other food. But when it comes to weight loss, your total klojoule balance is what matters. Ifyou eat more than you ‘burn, the unused kilojoules tum into fat that gets stored in your tummy (and elsewhere), regardless cof what particular foods those kilojoules come from, says Aragon. That sald, if Just the sight of carb-heavy dishes melts your willpower into geo, avoiding them is the foolproof way to control your weight. More realistic, perhaps, is making sure ‘most of your carbs are the complex kind found in whole grains and raw fruit ‘and vegetables.

When you don't have enough calcium in your body, it tries to hold on to what's there, This triggers the release of a compound called calcitriol, which increases the production of fat cells. If you want fewer fat cells, eating extra calcium suppresses calcitriol, which breaks down fat and makes your fat cells leaner and your tummy flatter, So enjoy milk, yoghurt or a little cheese, but because dairy does tend to be high in kilojoules, keep your portions small or stick to low-fat varieties.

Iwas fascinated by the concept, which just made so much sense. Dancers athletes and bodybuilders tend to overwork their power or “outer” muscles. While the body looks toned and strong, the core muscles are often neglected, which leads to innate posture problemsand long-term muscle and even bone or bowel injuries. Pilates specifically targets the deep inner stabilising muscles in the pelvic floor, lower trapezoids, the lat, hamstrings, inner thighs and ghates, “These core muscles are what support the back, neck and variousjoints, and are what give healthy posture: Stevespent woyearsin Houston, “Texas, taining under two Pilates instructors before returning to London, where he spent the next 18 years teaching his unique routine: a combination of Pilates, dance and cardio, Over the years he developed 4 reputation for his curative workouts, Thad chronic back pain and was in complete agony. recalls Beate.

Put on a purple top - your baby blues might take on a hint of green. See, while your eye colour enetically determined, certain external colours can have superpowers, intensifying your natural hue and making it pop. And eyeshadow is the perfect tool for achieving this effect. “Eyeshadow shades fall into three groups: those that intensify, those that enhance and neutrals that everyone can wear,” says make-up artist and painter Algria Ferreira While neutrals (varying shades of brown) can be worn ay anyone, colours that enhance should be a good match for your natural eye colour (greens for green etc) without being too much brighter. But when it comes to ly intensifying your natural colour, that's where insider know-how comes in: “The hue that will most intensify your natural eye colours its opposite on the colour wheel,” says rreira. Remember junior school art class when you learnt the difference between primary and secondary colours? Well, while not all eye colours appear on a standard colour wheel, they're all members of a colour family that does, so variations of that family should be used, says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the US Pantone Colour Institute.
