    How do I know when to end a friendship?

    How do I know when to end a friendship?

    Friendship is often said to be eternal, to withstand the test of time and distance. We expect friends to accept everything about us, but it's not always that simple. Just like any relationship, they can become complicated and sometimes toxic.
    Not all friendships are always worth keeping, and certain signs can indicate when one is nearing its end. Friendships should be a source of joy, support, and personal growth. In a healthy friendship, both parties feel valued and respected.
    What does constitute a healthy friendship? Are there certain criteria that give away when a friendship is dysfunctional? What should I do if I realise a friendship is complicated and leaving me drained?

    How often should I wash my hair?

    How often should I wash my hair?

    When it comes to washing our hair, many of us stick to a specific routine purely out of habit. It’s not uncommon for people to wash their hair with shampoo every day, which can actually have adverse effects.
    At the end of the scale, you’ve got those who’ve embraced the no poo movement and don’t use shampoo at all. The trend really took off during Covid-19 lockdown, although there is still somewhat of a stigma about washing your hair too infrequently. We don’t necessarily stop to consider what is really the best option for our hair. Let’s look at how you can avoid doing more harm than good.
    How does shampoo actually work? What factors should we be taking into account? How will I know it’s time to wash? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What does general anesthesia do to the brain?

    What does general anesthesia do to the brain?

    Research published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggested that there are nearly 3 million general anesthesia procedures in the UK each year. 
    You might already be aware that there are various different types of anesthesia: local, which numbs a small area of the body; regional, which numbs a larger part; and general, typically used for major or lengthy surgeries, where the patient is completely asleep. Today we’re going to be talking specifically about general anesthesia.
    How exactly does it knock patients unconscious then? How does it affect the brain? Isn't it dangerous? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What is the best way to soothe a crying baby?

    What is the best way to soothe a crying baby?

    Getting babies to sleep is big business, and a major source of stress for parents. There are many theories and methods: rock them, sing, let them cry it out. But now science has come to the rescue and we can finally put this question to bed. Hopefully. 
    According to a study published in September 2022 in Current Biology, “approximately 20%–30% of infants cry excessively and exhibit sleep difficulties for no apparent reason” which of course can be exhausting for most people but can become more serious in some cases. As the study points out, it causes “parental stress and even triggering impulsive child maltreatment in a small number of cases.” So finding a way to sooth babies is important.
    What did the scientists discover? How did they come to these conclusions? So how do you get the baby to sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Why should you be happy to see spiders in your home?

    Why should you be happy to see spiders in your home?

    What's your relationship with spiders like? Some people are pretty terrified of them, and for many their first reaction is to grab something to squash them with.
    Most likely, encountering spiders at home is a regular occurrence, and they're actually more beneficial than you might think.
    Aren’t they dangerous though? What are the benefits of having spiders in my home then? Why do they come into my house? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    How do you build up your brain power?

    How do you build up your brain power?

    Our brain, much like our muscles, benefits from its own form of exercise. Through dedicated training and stimulation, we can enhance our cognitive abilities, a testament to the remarkable phenomenon known as ‘neural plasticity’.
    Neural plasticity is the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and reorganise itself. According to the Foundation for Brain Research, when we encounter a new concept, our brain responds by forging fresh neural connections. With consistent practice, these connections grow stronger and more efficient, leading to improved performance.
    What is Neural Plasticity? Can Intelligence Be Enhanced? What role does a healthy lifestyle play? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
