Why ‘accidents’ can happen during intense exercise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are very few downsides to exercise. But a recent viral story highlighted one of the more embarrassing – and potentially dangerous – issues that can occur when your body reaches it limit with exercise. Joanna Wietrzyk, the winner of the recent women’s pro Hyrox race in Beijing (a challenging fitness race that blends running and strength), found herself in the spotlight not for her performance – but because she soiled herself during the event. While there has been plenty of commentary about
Men and women are turning to genital fillers for pleasure and size – here’s what can go wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fillers are everywhere now – smoothing lines, plumping cheeks, adding volume around the eyes, nose and lips in clinics up and down the country.

Five ways the human body can sync up with other people (opens the original)

The International Headache Society describes it as a headache caused by eating, drinking or inhaling something very cold. “Ice-cream headache” and “brain freeze” are much easier t
Why air travel can be so hard on the body (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At any given point there are hundreds of thousands of people in the skies travelling by air. For many, these journeys will pass by without consequence. But for some, a routine flight may trigger a health emergency. Although these events are rare, with the demand and availability of air travel increasing, so too is the likelihood of an in-flight emergency occurring. A study last year showed that one in every 212 flights experiences some kind of in-flight emergency, while in 2013 it only occurred
