Listen again to our episodes about sport!It doesn’t matter which fancy moisturizers or expensive skincare routine you use, nothing quite matches how your skin looks and feels after an intense workout.

For example, biology journal Aging Cell reported on one in 2015, which found that vigorous exercise led to visibly younger-looking skin. What’s the science behind that? How exactly does exercising and sweating purify skin? Are some types of exercise better for your skin than others? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !To listen to the latest episodes, click here:Why should I avoid showering after a workout?How often should you wash your bedsheets?How can I keep my exercise eco-friendly?A Bababam Originals podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.In partnership with upday UK.

We spend a lot of time in bed and there is nothing nicer than snuggling up in clean fresh sheets but apparently not everyone feels the same. According to a survey commissioned by Pizuna Linens of over 2 thousand people in the UK  it was discovered that 45 percent of single men are happy to wait up to four months to wash their sheets with a horrifying 12 percent only doing it ‘when they remembered’ so who knows how long they wait! Women were shown to have higher standards of hygiene  with 62 percent of single women washing their sheets every 2 weeks. But even this is just not enough with experts agreeing that you should wash your sheets at least once a week. But why do you need to wash them so often? What is the best way to wash them?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !To listen to the latest episodes, click here:How can I keep my exercise eco-friendly?Could insects replace meat?Can exercise snacking help me beat a busy schedule to stay fit?A podcast written and realised by Amber Minogue.In partnership with upday UK.

Listen again to our episodes about sport!One of the biggest challenges that we have been facing and will be continuing to face in the coming years is protecting our planet. So it’s worth reflecting on how we can exercise in a more eco-friendly manner. We turn to exercise for leisure, entertainment and to stay fit and healthy, but not many people realize that the carbon footprint can be significant. Of course that’s particularly true for high-profile international sporting events, like the FIFA World Cup, which is taking place in Qatar this winter. But even for the vast majority of us who aren’t involved in professional competition, there are still things you can do to reduce the environmental impact of your exercise. Well I’ve been a gym member for years now; that can’t have much impact, can it?!

Although it is quite usual to find insects in markets in both Africa and Asia it is rather more unusual for people in the West to eat them. However, with increased awareness of animal welfare and environmental concerns around eating meat people are beginning to think more seriously about insects as food rather than something to be swatted. The problem is that a lot of people find eating bugs pretty off putting, but now scientists have discovered that mealworms, traditionally used as pet food or as bait for fishing, have a rather meat-like flavour when cooked with sugar and could maybe offer new hope to the insects-as-food debate.What are the benefits of eating insects? What are the disadvantages of eating meat? So will we be seeing insects in supermarkets soon? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !To listen to the latest episodes, click here:Can exercise snacking help me beat a busy schedule to stay fit?Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?Why were the queen’s bees told of her death?A podcast written and realised by Amber Minogue.

Listen again to our episodes about sport!It's well known that we should all be doing half an hour of moderate physical activity every day. But sometimes our busy lifestyles make it difficult finding thirty consecutive minutes to do exercise. Sure, you could get up extra early in the morning, cut your lunch break short, or dig deep to find the needed energy and motivation for a post-work gym session. But a bitesized method called exercise snacking may be a simpler option when it comes to hitting your daily quota. Now obviously we're not talking about sweet or savoury snacks here; rather separating exercise into smaller chunks which are spread throughout the day.Is that really comparable to doing a full workout in one go?

It may be a little taboo to talk about it, but there are a lot of people out there who, for a variety of reasons, don’t have as much sex as they would like, or arguably need. And there’s actually a form of therapy out there which is specifically designed to help people become more comfortable with sex and intimacy. The idea of sex surrogacy started catching on in Europe in the 2000s, and these days it’s actually regulated and even covered by social security in some countries, like Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands. Still, in many places it’s a legal grey area, and raises a number of ethical questions to boot. For example it became a subject of debate in France in 2013, when a proposal was put forward to cover sex surrogacy expenses for disabled people.Why would someone need to use the services of a sex surrogate? What’s the difference between a sex surrogate and a sex worker?
