A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that focusing solely on low-carb or low-fat diets may not effectively reduce heart disease risk. Harvard researchers analysed data from around 200,000 health professionals over 30 years and found that consuming unhealthy refined carbs can increase heart disease risk by 14%, while healthy carbs like whole grains can lower the risk by 15%. The study emphasises that the quality of the diet is more important than merely cutting carbs or fats. Although it was an observational study and causation could not be directly established, the extensive follow-up period lends credibility to the findings.

A woman in eastern China is seeking one million yuan (approximately SGD $189,125.60) in compensation from a cosmetic surgery clinic after a botched procedure left her with a 6cm long scar on her chin. The woman, identified as Ding, resides in China. A few years ago, she underwent a fat grafting procedure on her face in South Korea, which resulted in significant swelling. To address this issue, she later had facial liposuction at a clinic in Beijing, which only slightly improved her condition, according to the Yangtze Evening News.

Aurelie Hamon struggled with a painful condition involving stubborn fat accumulation in her legs, despite regular exercise and dieting. After years of following various diet plans without success, she discovered lipedema, a little-known condition characterised by abnormal fat build-up, usually in the legs and sometimes in the arms. It causes discomfort, mobility difficulties, and an uneven body shape. Research indicates that lipedema may affect up to one in ten women globally, yet many remain unaware due to frequent misdiagnosis.

'Traction alopecia' is hair loss caused by constant tension on the hair, often seen in those who frequently wear tight styles like ponytails, braids, or buns. This can lead to thinning hair at the temples and front of the scalp. While wearing a ponytail isn't directly causing baldness, consistently wearing it tightly can lead to hair loss over time. When tight hairstyles are combined with other factors, such as chemical treatments or heat styling, the risk of hair loss can increase. To reduce the risk of traction alopecia, it's a good idea to change up hairstyles, avoid excessive tension, and give your hair regular breaks from tight styles.
