For many people, the cold clear days of winter bring more than just a rosy glow to the cheeks. They also bring uncomfortable dryness to the skin of the face, hands, and feet. Cold weather and low humidity levels result in dry air, which then steals moisture away from the skin every second of every day."As soon as you turn the heat on indoors, the skin starts to dry out," Bonnie LaPlante, an esthetician with the Canyon Ranch resort in Lenox, Mass., tells WebMD.

Five pieces of fruit and vegetables and 8 glasses of water a day. Good advice or cynical marketing ploys from food and beverage companies?

Maybe YOU work best with 1 piece or 10!! A recent book by obesity researcher and nutritionist Zoe Harcombe disproves the commonly held belief that if we eat 5 pieces of fru....

All of us diligently taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin for our joints are dismayed by the latest news that studies say it is ineffectual. But the study was in specific regard to the debilitating condition Osteo Arthritis. Most of us take it, not because we have a problem but to prevent a problem occurring in the future, particularly if we run or exercise regularly. However, it is not enough just to pop one pill in isolation, in fact you are wasting your money. So it stands to reason that to m....

After the arrival of baby Ethan our bet is that the lovely Dannii Minogue will be back in shape and in her slinky glam frocks in no time!But what about her skin? How will it have survived? Pregnancy hormones soften the collagen ligaments in the pelvis resulting in the softening of skin collagen also. This means that stretch marks form more easily. We're sure Dannii would have made doubly sure her skin was nurtured during her pregnancy but just in case she didn't we're sending her some....
