Menstrual Hygiene Day: Expert tips to prevent infections during menstruation

Conversations about women`s health have come a long way. While they were earlier in hushed whispers, today, discussions about menstruation among other subjects previously considered ‘taboo’ are commonplace due to social media. However, there is still a lot more to know about the health risks periods may pose if proper hygiene practices are not followed. Every year, Menstrual Hygiene Day is observed on May 28 to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining menstrual hygiene and advocating for access to safe period products and sanitation facilities. Besides the social stigma that is still associated with periods in some regions, accompanying physiological effects and other potential health issues related to the process may affect menstruators both physically and mentally.

18 of the Best Shows on Tubi

Unlike the other big streamers, Tubi only has a handful of original shows, most of them imports (their original movie selection is much larger). That's not to say it's a wasteland for TV addicts: The streamer might actually have too many shows, a vast and sometimes wild catalog that spans decades. As the likes of Netflix and HBO Max have slimmed down their catalogues, Tubi is growing, offering a mix of established hits, underrated gems, and more obscure offerings. For the sheer breadth of material on offer, it has become the first place I look for anything outside the current zeitgeist—like the following 18 shows, an entirely non-comprehensive sampling of what Tubi has to offer, crossing genres and decades.Gossip Girl (2007 – 2012) Occasionally referred to as the greatest teen drama of a...

Belly fat may raise risk of psoriasis in women, finds study

Central body fat, especially around the abdomen, is more strongly linked to psoriasis risk than total body fat, particularly in women, according to a study on Tuesday, reinforcing the role of weight management in psoriasis care. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can have a significant impact on quality of life. Many individuals with psoriasis also have elevated levels of body fat. While it is well established that increasing levels of body fat raise the risk of developing psoriasis, the impact of specific fat distribution and genetics remains unclear. Researchers from King’s College London, UK stated that the link between central fat and psoriasis remained consistent regardless of genetic predisposition, indicating that abdominal fat is an independent risk factor. ...
