    What is online grooming?
    May 25 2025
    The UK’s Online Safety Bill has been in the pipeline for a number of years now, and is currently being considered by the House of Lords. The proposed bill has caused a lot of controversy due to its broad ambitions and a perceived threat to people’s privacy. But it’s been welcomed in some quarters, and in particular by children’s charities like the NSPCC, who say that it’s needed to tackle grooming and child sexual abuse online. Indeed, the NSPCC says such measures are long overdue and that over 3,500 online sex crimes are likely happening each month that the bill is delayed. How does online grooming happen, and who are the typical targets ? Does this only happen online? How can you identify a child victim ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

    The first quarter of 2023 has seen food inflation in the UK surpass 16%, according to the Office for National Statistics. Such inflation rates hadn’t been seen for forty years.

With all that in mind, many people’s number one concern right now is keeping their supermarket bill as low as possible, regardless of how healthy what they’re eating is. But there are ways of sticking to a balanced diet even on a shoestring budget. Isn’t healthy food always expensive? What are the tips to buy healthy food at a low cost?

  • What are the dangers of using Botox?

    What are the dangers of using Botox?
    May 25 2025
    Botox is the name of a brand that offers a popular cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a toxin into the facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. The poison that they use, botulinum toxin, blocks the nerve signals that instruct the muscles to contract so make the appearance of fine lines, like crows feet or frown marks appear smoother. It can also be used in some medical procedures that involve involuntary muscle movement, spasm, sweating or to help migraine. A cosmetic treatment costs between £100 to £350 and lasts for three to four months. But it does have some side effects and complications that people should be aware of before undergoing the procedure. What are some of the side effects? How can I protect myself from the dangers of Botox? What are some safer and more natural alternatives to Botox? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

    What are the best plant-based protein foods?
    May 24 2025
    Vegetarians and vegans, do you ever find it difficult to keep your diet balanced? Meat-eaters, if you’ve ever considered going veggie, was that something that dissuaded you? It’s certainly fair to say that simply loading up on fruit and veg isn’t enough to stick to a balanced meat-free diet. You really need to be including grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, perhaps not on a daily basis, but as a regular source of protein. Where exactly are the best sources? Is there real risk of a protein deficiency as a vegetarian? What about legumes? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why are women’s rights regressing?

    Why are women’s rights regressing?
    May 24 2025
    According to a World Bank report from March 2023, the global pace of reforms toward equal treatment of women under the law has slumped to a 20-year low. This decline constitutes a potential impediment to economic growth at a critical time for the global economy. Since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021, women’s rights have been systematically curtailed. From March 2022, it became the only country in the world where women have no access to secondary school or university. Similarly, to promote their vision of virtue, gymnasiums have been closed. A number of NGOs have repeatedly alerted international institutions to the fact that women can no longer work with them because of non-compliance with the country's compulsory dress code. Is the problem the same in the West? How can we combat the decline in women's rights in Europe? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Can deep sleep help stop dementia?

    Can deep sleep help stop dementia?
    May 24 2025
    It’s not news that if you don't get a good nights sleep you will probably not be your best the next day, but while you are snoozing, particularly in deep sleep, your brain is not just powered down, it is busy cleaning out the days toxins, almost like it is ‘washing your brain’ and getting it ready for the next day. “Sleep is not just a state where things turn off. Sleep is a very active state for the brain – and it seems to be a special state for fluid flow within the brain,” says Laura Lewis, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Boston University in the Guardian newspaper. What happens if we don't get enough deep sleep? How can we boost our deep sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What is negging, the toxic flirting technique?
    May 23 2025
    Right from primary school age, we tell children that if another boy or girl has teased them, it’s “because they like them”. And playful teasing happens a lot in dating well into adulthood. If it’s ever happened to you, you might have laughed along out of fear of appearing oversensitive. But really it’s a form of verbal abuse, which is often used intentionally to manipulate another person’s emotions, undermining their self-esteem. Where does the name come from? What kind of things do neggers say? How do I know if someone is negging me? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do I get vertigo?

    Why do I get vertigo?
    May 23 2025
    You’re standing or sitting perfectly still, but yet you feel like everything is spinning around you, as if you were on a theme park ride. You’ve been getting nausea and throwing up too. Well, the chances are you’re suffering from vertigo. According to the NHS: "Vertigo can also feel like you're being pulled, tilted, or pushed to one side…[and is] often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, problems with balance, or difficulty moving." The causes can be varied, but generally speaking, vertigo is a balance disorder. Our balance system relies on information from many different organs and tissues within the body, including the eyes and ears for example. Do we know what causes vertigo? Is having true vertigo serious? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
