Are your friends making you fat?
So you have a friend who has trouble with her weight. You sympathise, but at the end of the day it's her problem, right? Well, not any more. In fact, a recent US study found that obesity is actually contagious. Frighteningly, a person's chances of becoming obese increase by 57 percent if they have a friend who becomes obese. The scary part — "Friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much impact on a person's weight status as friends who are right next door," James Fowler, study co-author and associate professor of political science at the University of California in San Diego, has said.

Which beauty element are you?
Many ancient philosophies recognise nature's four elements of earth, fire, air and water as significant aspects that play a role in our physical and emotional wellbeing, which in turn affects our skin. Learn how to combine these elements in your beauty regime, and reap the wholistic benefits.
Phases of life
There is a positive aspect, and a pattern of imbalance, for each of the elements. Imbalances occur if we cannot cope with the stresses of our environment, or if we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances we find ourselves in. It's believed we all have a dominant element, although we also move through each of the phases at different times of our lives.
Which element are you?
Answer the following questions to find out your dominant element, plus the phase you're in right now. Ask yourself which describes you best most of the time, and which describes you best today. |

Rate your fitness
Are you in tip-top shape? Take our five-step fitness test to find out, then choose the workout plan that's right for you. Our test will check your cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, speed, body composition, muscular strength and muscular endurance.
Definitions
Cardiovascular fitness: An individual's ability to provide oxygen to the working muscles. It is dependent on heart, lungs and blood vessels.
Muscular strength: Refers to the maximal force that can be generated by a specific muscle or group of muscles.
Muscular endurance: In a nutshell, the ability to last. It's the capacity of a muscle to exert a force repeatedly or consistently for a period of time without tiring.
Flexibility: The capacity of a joint to move through its full range of motion. It is highly specific to each particular joint.
Body composition: The percentages of fat and fat-free body tissue - for example, bone and muscle - that make up our total weight.
Speed: Refers to how fast a movement is performed or the ability to perform it quickly. Speed, while important to the 100m sprinter, isnt particularly relevant to someone who is concerned with general fitness. It is a skill-related component of fitness. Speed is comprised of reaction time (that is, the time takent to react to a given stimulus - for example, the starter's gun), acceleration, maximum speed (how fast) and speed endurance(how long).
In a 20m sprint, acceleration is the main factor being tested.
