The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) said on Tuesday (Sep 23) that the warning “in rare cases, it may cause harm to the liver, and alcohol consumption should be avoided during intake” will be added to Garcinia cambogia products. This is the second time that MFDS has implemented controls on Garcinia cambogia products in this year alone. Since January, the regulator has stopped companies from formulating Garcinia cambogia extract with other ingredients that similarly have body fat reduction functions. The recommended daily intake of Garcinia cambogia extract was also reduced from 750-2,800 mg/day to 750-1,500 mg/day. The MFDS…
“Define what wellness means to you. Prioritize activities that make you feel better, not activities you think you should be doing because an influencer told you to. It could be as simple as going for a walk, sitting in a park, and getting 15 minutes of sun. Wellness routines don’t have to be elaborate and expensive. The simpler they are, the more likely you are to do them,” says Elaine Proulx, a health and wellness coach and owner of ESP Wellness.

Oceans churned with lava. Air filled thick with smoke. Asteroids stormed down incessantly. Life during the Hadean Eon four billion years ago was a struggle, and yet that was when it began.1,2 With no fossil record dating this far back, biochemists ruminating over life’s inception have tried to reconstruct its origin story in the laboratory. While so much remains unknowable about life’s deep history, most trust that it kicked off with a timeless polymer—one that organisms continue to use today: ribonucleic acid (RNA).3Cells of the modern world are seemingly too complex to have appeared spontaneously. “You use nucleic acids to…

I never meant to become a powerlifter. In fact, it happened by accident. In my mid-30s, I was in a low place physically and mentally. I was burned out, tired and in pain all the time. I had been living with chronic back pain for five years that shaped every part of my day. There was a period when I couldn’t even get up in the morning without rolling onto the floor first. I genuinely believed that might be how I lived the rest of my life. I was told, more than once, that even if I had surgery, being…

Nerves overreact after being cut off from their blood supply, causing tingling sensations.Image credit:©iStock.com, Nathan DeveryAfter an intense typing session or lengthy binge-watching marathon on the couch, people often lose feeling in one of their limbs. At first, the appendage is numb to the touch. Then, as a person shifts their position, releasing the limb from a cramped angle, they experience tingling, often known as the “pins and needles” sensation or paresthesia.“Ultimately, at its root, it is the firing of neurons in the peripheral nervous system when they otherwise shouldn’t be,” said Andrew Shepherd, a neuroimmunologist at the University of…
