effect of coconut oil,


Coconut oil is as unhealthy as beef dripping and butter, say US heart experts.
It is packed with saturated fat which can raise "bad" cholesterol, says the American Heart Association in updated advice.
Coconut oil is commonly sold as a health food and some claim the fat in it may be better for us than other saturated fats.

Struggling to Lose Weight? Pay Attention to Your Gut The proportion of some gut bacteria may be connected to how much weight a person is able to lose under certain circumstances. Sponsored We all know losing weight is a constant struggle. If you thought following a strict diet was the only way to achieve your weight loss goals, there's more to it. A new study has found that apart from diets and other regimes to keep us fit and healthy, there are other factors that are involved when it comes to losing weight, particularly gut bacteria. Gut bacteria refers to friendly microorganisms that are present in your stomach which works towards maintaining a healthy gut ecosystem, aiding digestion. According to the researchers from the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports at the University of Copenhagen, the proportion of some gut bacteria may be connected to how much weight a person is able to lose under certain circumstances.

Huge discovery about Dads stuns scientists Scientists have found that the average age of new fathers is getting older and older, and that may actually be a very good thing for society. A fascinating new study out of Stanford University Medical Center has found that the average age of new dads is creeping up consistently, and that may be a good thing. The study, published in the journal Human Reproduction, examined how the ages of first-time fathers have changed between 1972 and 2015 in the United States, and have found out that the mean parental age has increased from 27.4 to 30.9. The findings, based on 168,000,000 births, also found that fathers who are older than 40 now make up 9 percent of first-time fathers, and nearly 1 percent of those older than 50 are first-time dads.

Nosebleeds: Why they start and how to stop them The medical term for a nosebleed is epistaxis. Because of the position of the nose - right in the middle of the face - and its high density of blood vessels, most of us will have had at least one nosebleed at some time during our lives. Although seldom a cause for alarm, nosebleeds can be life-threatening in rare cases. Nosebleeds are most often caused by local trauma but can also be caused by foreign bodies, nasal or sinus infections, and prolonged inhalation of dry air. Tumors and  vascular malformations  are also potential causes of nosebleeds, but they are rare. Spontaneous nosebleeds are fairly common, especially in children. When the mucous membrane (a mucus-secreting tissue inside the nose) dries, crusts, or cracks and is then disturbed by nose-picking, it is likely to bleed. Because the nose is full of blood vessels, any  minor injury  to the face can cause the nose to bleed profusely. Nosebleeds...
