The long summer holidays are almost over – no more struggling to think of ways to entertain the kids week after week! A recent survey found many mums admit using screen time to keep their children occupied. But in our worrying news report on p18, experts warn that using iPads or Xboxes as “childminders” could have devastating consequences. With screen addiction on the rise, one mum tells us how her daughter ended up in rehab after becoming hooked on gaming, while a child psychologist suggests weaning them off devices now before the new term starts. Going back to school is always a stressful time, so we’ve also got a brilliant six-page guide [page 56] packed full of tips to get them off to a flying start. It’s a chance to…

Actress Courteney Cox has been open about her surgery regrets, and last year revealed she’d had her facial fillers removed after embracing ageing. The Friends star, 54, said, “I’ve had all my fillers dissolved. I’m as natural as can be... I was trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake.” Khloé Kardashian, 34, also revealed she’d had her facial fillers dissolved after she felt the procedure “f*** ed up” her face in 2016. She said, “It did not work for me. I looked crazy… My face was so f*** ed.” Dr Nyla says, “Facial fillers can be great for smoothing out lines and creating structure, but some patients may no longer be fans of the ‘pillow face’ look and may want to reverse it. As with…

She reportedly grew tired of his “single man behaviour” during their two-and-a-half-year romance – particularly over his steamy performances with singer Rita Ora for their 50 Shades Of Grey song, For You. And following their split in July, sources reveal that Cheryl, 35, was left fuming last week when secret footage emerged of her ex Liam Payne, 24, wrapping his arms around Rita, 27, and whispering in her ear as they danced at a pre-VMAs gig. Fans were quick to express their shock at Liam – who has 17-month-old son Bear with Cheryl – with one speculating, “I wouldn’t be surprised if these two already slept together.” Another speculated, “I thought a few months ago when Liam was still with Cheryl there was something going on between him and Rita.”…

FERNE ‘ I have never felt in such great shape’ She may have become a first-time mum to daughter Sunday last November, but it’s fair to say that former TOWIE star Ferne McCann is in the best shape of her life after a health-kick. The 28-year-old reality TV star – whose ex Arthur Collins, also the father of Sunday, was jailed last year for an acid attack – has turned to exercise and healthy eating since giving birth and is now a trim size 8. Ferne – who was in Ibiza for pal Billie Faiers’ hen do last week – recently told Closer , “The gym is a godsend. Not only does it help you look good, but it makes you feel better. It de-stresses you and clears your head.”…

How can you tell the difference between an acceptable amount of screen time and the beginnings of an addiction? Psychiatrist Dr Richard Graham suggests watching out for these signs… • Speak to your child’s friends’ parents to find out what’s “normal”. If your child is spending far more time in the digital world than their peers, they may have a problem. • If they can’t seem to reduce their screen time, despite knowing it’s having a negative impact on their school work, friendships or relationships, they may need help to curb it. • A fear of missing out that causes panic, irritation or rage – with parents sometimes fearing physical violence – suggests withdrawal symptoms, which could indicate addiction. It may then be worth speaking to your GP. • Parents…

She’s already ruffled feathers on this series of CBB and has been accused of “intimidating” Gabby Allen and “picking fights” with Kirstie Alley in addition to regularly causing tension within the house. But before starting the show, reality star Natalie Nunn insisted she has always been pro women. She says, “I love all women! I think women are the most beautiful things on earth. We’re all made differently and none of us are the same. If I had to pick someone in Hollywood who was inspiring, I’d say [model] Teyana Taylor – she’s hot! And in the UK, [Geordie Shore star] Holly Hagan has a smoking hot body as well!” Californian Natalie, 33, rose to fame in 2009 when she appeared on US TV show Bad Girls Club, where a…

STARTING A FAMILY: “I do want kids with my wife, but I want them when we both think it’s the right thing to happen. It’s not fair for me to say, ‘I want kids now’.” SHARON OSBOURNE JOINING X FACTOR FOR THE LIVE SHOWS: “I like having an unpredictable cast! You’ve got Robbie over there, Mrs O there. It’s going to be carnage! I don’t know how it’s going to work, but I’m looking forward to being ringmaster in the live shows.” SIMON VS ROBBIE: “We’ve never had two traditional alpha males on the panel before. Whoever the strongest male judge is, they’re always deferred to Simon. But Robbie’s happy to disagree with him straight away – it’s become much more of a battle of the…

He turns 69 this week, but Richard Gere is reportedly going to become a dad again with new wife Alejandra Silva. News broke earlier this month that the actor – who married Alejandra, 35, in April – is expecting a baby with his third wife, although the pair are yet to respond to the claims. The couple – who met in 2014 at an Italian hotel that Alejandra was managing with then-husband Govind Friedland – were spotted in Italy earlier this month, with Alejandra showing off a rounder tummy, sparking further speculation she may be pregnant. They both have kids of their own. Richard has Homer, 18, with second wife Carey Lowell, while Alejandra has Albert, five, with Govind.…

She only gave birth to her fourth child last month – a boy called Digby – with her boyfriend Alex Daw, and already Jessica Cunningham is planning baby number five. Before then, though, she’ll have to overcome a big hurdle: her fear of having sex again. Jess, 31, tells Closer, “We want to have another baby for sure. Just days after having Digby, Alex was talking about when we were having our next. It’s his first child and my fourth, and he wants another one, so we’ll definitely have one more. “I’m nervous about trying [to have sex] again, though! I’m waiting for everything to settle down there. We’re very touchy-feely, but we haven’t had sex yet. I think I’m going to need to get really drunk to do it…

SIMON COWELL The X Factor king, 58, regularly has Botox injections. He said, “It simply works. You do it twice a year. Who cares? And it balances my smoking and drinking.” KYLIE MINOGUE 50-year-old singer Kylie admitted in 2010 that she had ditched anti-wrinkle injections. She said, “I don’t any more, I won’t go near it. I have lines. You can see the lines on my face.” JORDAN The former model, 40, has boasted about the benefits of anti-wrinkle injections. She said, “I had Botox. I loved it. When I have more of the stuff I’ll tell the world. I don’t want wrinkles.”…

If your little one is starting school for the first time, or you’re simply dreading getting back into a routine as the holidays draw to a close, fear not, as there’s plenty you can to do make the adjustment easier. Clinical psychologist Linda Blair says, “It takes four days to get kids into a routine, so shift their bedtime and morning starts a week before so they get used to their new daily structure. If your child is feeling anxious, visit the school during the holidays so they’re familiar with the journey. On their first day, park your car a street away and walk the rest of the way. Your kids will benefit from fresh air and positive endorphins and they’ll be able to talk to you about anything that’s…

• Make time to eat with your children, even if that means getting up earlier in the mornings. Kids learn by copying – if they see you eating healthily, they’re more likely to do the same. • Make food look more appealing – arrange vegetables on a plate to look like a funny face, and put packed lunches in colourful, eye-catching containers. • Hide vegetables, like peas and green beans, in mashed potato or pasta tubes, or grate carrot and whizz up lentils, then add to sauces like Bolognese.…

Tragically, many elderly people spend their final years in nursing homes with few, if any, visits. This is particularly true of those suffering from dementia. Research has found that the average person with dementia in a nursing home has just two minutes of social interaction a day. They also established that wellbeing improved when this was increased to just ten minutes. It’s heartbreaking when someone no longer seems “themselves”. Many of us want to protect our kids from that sadness, but we are underestimating their resilience. It’s also an opportunity for children to learn about a way of life that’s different to theirs, and to learn about ill health. For your elderly relative, it’s much-needed stimulation. If you’re not sure what to talk about, grab a family photo album –…

I’M PROUD OF… Still being here after so many years in the music industry. It’s the 25th anniversary of my single Dreams this year. I’ve won an Ivor Novello award, as well as Brits and Mobos. I met Nelson Mandela once, too. This girl hasn’t done too badly! I WISH… I was more organised as I’m never on time. Ahead of performances, my manager tells me to be there an hour earlier than the rest of the band. I’ve heard Elton John just gets out of his car and performs – he is the master of it all. I CHOOSE… Not to have regrets. There’s no time to wallow in your mistakes and you shouldn’t spend time on things you can’t change. I’VE LEARNED… That when life gives you lemons,…

Asan N’Jie joins the cast as newcomer Ellis – who we find out is Jessie’s son… Asan says, “Ellis is a cheeky chap and a genuine lad’s lad. Landing the role was crazy – I’ve always watched the soaps and my mum and nan love Marlon [played by Mark Charnock]. Ellis comes in to have a date with Victoria, but he doesn’t tell his mum about that. He doesn’t know about Jessie and Marlon’s relationship at first – he’s not keen on Marlon as he is nothing like his dad. Marlon finds Ellis a bit annoying…”…

You play therapist Joy; tell us a bit about her? She’s a woman who’s basically had a near-death experience, and she’s started to think about what she wants to do with her life on this planet. She’s questioning the structure of her life, her relationship – and I know there is a focus on sex, but it’s a bi-product of something deeper that Joy is going through… Did you have any reservations about doing a drama with so much sex in it? I had no reservations! It’s a part of life and this is a very life-like show – it’s nice for it to be out in the open! I mean, Jesus – I got quite used to it! I guess the first sexual scene was with Marvin [played by…

❛THEY’VE SPENT MOST OF THEIR MARRIED LIFE JETTING BACK AND FORTH TO VISIT EACH OTHER❜ He made his UK television comeback last week with a guest presenting role on This Morning alongside Mollie King, after over a year based in LA hosting American show Extra. And insiders say Mark Wright’s return to UK screens has come as a relief to wife Michelle Keegan after she’d been feeling the strain of their long-distance marriage. A source tells Closer, “It’s no secret Michelle’s been growing tired of the constant distance between her and Mark, which has put pressure on their relationship. After some honest talks, Mark said he’d be open to working back in the UK, so they could spend more time together – agreeing their marriage was paramount over everything.” Last…

She appeared to lead the trend of over-plumped pouts when she admitted to using lip filler at just 17 years old, explaining, “It’s just something that I wanted to do”. But after fans spotted Kylie Jenner, 21, with a noticeably thinner pout in July, she revealed on Instagram, “I got rid of all my filler.” Dr Nyla explains, “Lip fillers have become popular because of the fad for larger pouts, like Kylie’s. But if this trend changes, it’s understandable why patients may want to revert to their natural pouts. Lip fillers can lead to infections or swelling, so there are dangers to consider. You can dissolve filler using a medical product called Hyalase. This should only be administered by doctors or nurses, but poor regulations mean beauty therapists are using…

She’s been publicly parading her relationship with toyboy Kris Boyson with a series of cringeworthy PDAs, and even appeared with him on Loose Women recently, but last week Jordan faced accusations of cheating when she was pictured leaving an Essex pub at 2am with a mystery man. ❛SHE’S NO MOTIVATION TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN DRINK TO BLOCK THINGS OUT❜ HURTFUL COMMENTS After photos surfaced of mum-of-five Jordan, 40, leaving The Blue Boar pub in Abridge with him, trolls lashed out online. One said, “Cheating already? Doesn’t she ever put her kids first? She’s a disgrace”, while another posted, “I can just picture it when she gets back… ‘Oh children, Kris has gone, meet your sixth dad.’’ Pals say the comments have hurt Jordan – real name Katie Price –…

❛SHE WORRIES THIS LEVEL OF FAME COULD BRING UNNECESSARY STRESS ON THEM❜ He’s only been in America a matter of weeks, but already footballer Wayne Rooney is reportedly on the brink of signing a multi million-pound marketing deal with the potential to catapult his family into the same league as the Beckhams. However, insiders tell Closer that his wife Coleen, 32, who has temporarily relocated to Washington DC for two years with their four sons – Kai, eight, Klay, five, Kit, two, and six-month-old Cass – is nervous about the pressure that comes with international fame. UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT A source says, “Wayne’s deal has the potential to make him one of the richest sportsmen in the US and turn him into a huge celebrity, as well as bringing in…

All eyes were on Gabby Allen and Dan Osborne as CBB began last week after they sparked romance rumours earlier this year, which were later fuelled when the Love Island star’s ex, Marcel Somerville, accused the pair of having an affair – something they denied. But just days into the show, Gabby, 26, was reduced to tears as tension continued to mount with housemate Natalie Nunn, 33, whom she branded a “bully”. And each time Dan, 27 – who is still married to estranged wife Jacqueline Jossa – comforted her, fans questioned if there was something going on between them. Speaking before she entered CBB , Gabby ruled out a romance with Dan, saying, “I think he’s like a f***ing joker since he’s become single. I keep reading about him…

Shortly before entering the CBB house, Ben Jardine had revealed that he was expecting his first child with a mystery woman after splitting from his Married At First Sight wife Stephanie in March. But last week, police officer Stephanie broke her silence on Instagram – posting a series of emotional videos detailing her side of the events. The 32 year old insisted she had left Ben, 37, and that he had got his mystery woman pregnant while they were still a couple. Breaking down in tears, she claimed she had only discovered the marriage was over when Ben – who was also accused of cheating with a 20-year-old woman named Lucy while they were together – revealed the news on a radio show in March. The couple, who were complete…

She wowed on Loose Women earlier this month when she wore a gorgeous blonde wig – 13 years after traumatically losing her hair due to alopecia. And newly confident TV presenter Gail Porter says that as well as embracing her new locks, she’s now open to finding love again. The former lads’ mag favourite, 47 – whose naked FHM cover was famously projected on to the Houses Of Parliament in 1999 – revealed she felt ready to find a new man, but insisted that he’d have to love her without her wig, too. She explained, “He has to love me bald, not just with hair, because that’s the real Gail. I’m a complete romantic – I have this really Disneyland view of finding a great man.” Gail has been out…

As a teenager, A Place In The Sun presenter Jasmine Harman, who lives in Surrey, remembers spending hours tidying her family home, along with her siblings. But when her mum, Vasoulla, now 63, came home, she was far from impressed. “When she came home and found what we’d done, she’d scream at us,” said Jasmine. “It was a weird way to grow up.” Jasmine knew her mum had a hoarding problem from an early age. Their five-bed North London home was literally crammed full of clothes, toys, books and bric-a-brac – some rooms were stacked floor to ceiling. And as the years passed, it got worse. “You couldn’t have visitors, you couldn’t let workmen in the house,” said Jasmine. “My brothers and I used to hide if we heard the…

DATING: “Going out on dates as a single mum-of-three was hard, but I learned not to take s**t from anyone, and I discovered what I really wanted in a man. Respect yourself, and if a man isn’t OK with you having kids, ditch him and move on to the next one. On CBB , I got a bit of backlash over saying I was dating multiple guys at the same time – but what’s wrong with that? You get to find out what you really want in a relationship.” BALANCING BABIES AND BUSINESS: “Motherhood is the world’s most demanding job, but that doesn’t mean you can’t work, too. You’ve just got to focus on the balance – always make sure to take time out for you and enjoy things. Get…

‘I feel lucky to be having another child’ Her third baby is due any day now and life at home is about to get crazy-busy for Giovanna Fletcher – who hadn’t yet given birth as Closer went to press – but she doesn’t seem fazed in the slightest. “I think I’ve taken this pregnancy too much in my stride!” laughs the 33 year old, who already has sons Buzz, four, and Buddy, two, with her husband, McFly’s Tom Fletcher. She adds, “Hopefully, I’ll be relaxed because I know what to expect. With my first pregnancy, all my energy was focused on giving birth, but you realise that’s just one moment and it’s more about the stuff that comes after it.” Giovanna – who has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and has…

We’re used to seeing her perform on stage with reformed girl group Atomic Kitten, but away from the spotlight, Natasha Hamilton’s life couldn’t be more different. With four children in tow, it’s safe to say she has her hands full, juggling work and a busy home life. And Natasha – who is mum to Josh, 16, Harry, 13, Alfie, eight, and three-year old Ella – is no stranger to the back-to-school routine. She tells Closer , “I used to run around like a headless chicken! It’s taken a lot of trial and error and I’m still getting things wrong, but I’ve finally got the kids into a stable routine.” GROUND RULES She adds, “I set the alarm for 6.30am, so I’m up 20 minutes before the kids, then they have…

One in 25 kids is now classed as severely obese by the time they leave primary school. That means they’re in the 99.6th percentile for their weight, which is incredibly sad. DON’T RELY ON SCHOOL These stats come from the National Child Measurement programme, which weighs and measures children to get their BMI at four, then again at ten. Weighing kids is controversial, and I can see that for an overweight child it would be horrible, but we’ve forgotten what a “normal” weight kid looks like, and only checking every six years means parents can’t spot changes soon enough. The whole system is flawed – in some areas children don’t even get a letter home; parents need to contact the local authority for results – and who can get through…

My own dating mantra is; Your first argument will be your last. What I mean by that is whatever it is that initially annoys you about a man you’re with will instigate future fights. It starts off as relatively minor, for example, he has a close set of mates that he sees regularly. But over time he’s late to meet you because he got held up with his pals, then it progresses into he can’t make it to your family events, because he’s seeing the lads. And in time you lose your cool. When dating, I’ve had to stay alert to what the cracks could be later down the line in my relationships. I was seeing a guy last summer who cancelled our first date because he didn’t want to…

EAT CHEAP OR, BETTER STILL, FOR NOTHING! “Take advantage of places that have ‘kids eat free’ and family offers, especially during school holidays”, says Deborah Vickers, a personal finance expert at comparison site Moneyguru.com. Some of the restaurants that tend to offer free kids’ meals include Giraffe, Las Iguanas, La Tasca and The Real Greek. Even outside of the holidays, always ask to see the pre-theatre or all-day menu if you’re eating before 7pm, as they are often far cheaper than dinner menus.

MUST READ (CHRISTINA DALCHER) Vox A new government is in power – and if you’re a woman, you’re limited to saying just one hundred words a day. Any more and a thousand volts of electricity will course through your veins. Almost overnight, bank accounts are frozen, passports are taken away, 70 million women lose their jobs and young girls are no longer taught to read or write. Jean McClellan is determined to reclaim her voice, though, for herself, her daughter and for every woman silenced. For her, it’s just the beginning… A mind-blowing read. BEST DAY OUT The Handmade Fair Brought to you by Kirstie Allsopp, the Handmade Fair is back for another year at picturesque Hampton Court Palace. Taking place 14-16 September, this unique fair is all about learning…

Mum-of-three Luisa Zissman revealed to fans on Instagram last week that she’d had her E-cup breast implants removed, taking her down to a “B or C cup”. Posting a pic after the op, reality star Luisa, 31 – who’s married to a millionaire businessman – told fans, “Loads of you have asked why I was in hospital, I actually had my implants out. No more big boobies. I got sick of them. I got sick of looking like a Love Island porn star.” In 2013, actress Chelsee Healey, 30, told Closer that she’d had her DD implants taken out after feeling they were too big for her frame. And earlier this year, The Valleys star Lateysha Grace, 25, revealed she’d gone under the knife to have her F-cup implants removed,…

She had her lip filler removed in 2016 after five years of constant top-ups, and planned to embrace her natural beauty – but last week Lauren Goodger was spotted with a painfully enlarged pout while on a girls’ night out. Last month, Lauren, 31, split with on-off jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison and hit out at him with a string of fiery social media posts, accusing him of secretly messaging other women and branding him “a piece of sh*t”. FUN NIGHTS OUT But while newly-single Lauren was enjoying a night out with pals Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Ferne McCann, trolls were quick to slam her new look. One said, “You have gone way too far with your lip filler,” while another added, “Such a shame, she was so much prettier before.” But…

Her romance with new beau Ryan Mahoney seems to be going from strength to strength – with the pair looking more loved-up than ever on a family trip to Brighton earlier this month. Now insiders say mum-of-five Kerry Katona is head over heels for the personal trainer and has been telling friends she can see a future for them. A source says, “Kerry and Ryan had a ball in Brighton. They were only meant to be there for the weekend, but extended their trip. She loves how well he gets on with the kids – it might be early days, but she’s already saying he’s The One.” Pals say Kerry, 37 – who has Molly, 16, Lilly-Sue, 15, Heidi, 11, Max, ten, and Dylan-Jorge, four – could be tempted by…

Carol* was always wary of letting her children spend hours in front of a screen. But when her daughter Freya* passed her ballet exam, she agreed to buy her an Xbox as a reward. “I remember saying to my husband Richard* that she deserved some downtime after working so hard at school and at her hobbies,” says Carol, 39. But what started as harmless play on Minecraft and Lego games turned into a full-blown obsession with cult hit Fortnite – which saw Freya, nine, secretly staying up until dawn, becoming the youngest child to go into rehab for technology addiction in the UK. OBSESSION Worryingly, with millions of children still on their summer break, Carol, from Lancashire, says her daughter’s issues took hold during school holidays. She says, “Without us…

Just days after pals warned she was struggling to cope while her estranged husband Dan Osborne stars in CBB with alleged former fling Gabby Allen, Jacqueline Jossa went into meltdown on a night out last week. The mum-of-two, 25 – who was hit with claims that Dan and the Love Island star had slept together just before their split earlier this year, which they both refuted – was pictured in a fiery bust-up with Dan’s best mate Paul Hodder while out with friends. A source says, “Jac has tried to keep her chin up, but Dan being in the house has left her on edge. Even though they’re not a couple, she still hates the fact that all eyes are on Dan and Gabby. Jac went on a night out…

With all eyes firmly fixed on The X Factor’s controversial new judging panel – boss Simon Cowell, Louis Tomlinson, Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field – host Dermot O’Leary admits the married couple are already stealing the show. Eyebrows were raised when actress Ayda, 39, joined Robbie, 44, as part of the panel, but she was quick to hit back at critics, saying, “I’ve auditioned for years… I know what it’s like to have the stakes high. To put it all out there.” DARK HORSE And Dermot, 45, insists she’s already proven to be a big hit. “I thought there would be more bickering between Robbie and Ayda!” he laughs. “She scores a lot of points off him, far more than he does off her, which I think is…

She was linked to singer Olly Murs, who’s 13 years her junior, last summer, and now Melanie Sykes is rumoured to be romancing a new toyboy: former Big Brother star Ziggy Lichman. While some sources insisted the pair were just “good friends”, other insiders claimed last week that TV presenter Mel, 48, had grown close to Ziggy, 37, and has reportedly enjoyed a string of “secret” meet-ups after bonding over a shared sense of humour and a love of fitness. Ziggy first found fame in ’90s boyband Northern Line, but hit the headlines on Big Brother back in 2007, where he endured a turbulent romance with fellow housemate Chanelle Hayes. After splitting with Chanelle just six months later, he was then linked to Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe and Atomic Kitten’s…

❛KANYE’S WORRIED ABOUT THE EFFECT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE ON HER HEALTH❜ She has continued to flaunt her show-stopping curves, revealing a minuscule waist on the beach in Miami last week – but pals say image-obsessed Kim Kardashian is on a new extreme diet in a bid to achieve a 21-inch waist. A source reveals, “Kim’s determined to lose three inches from her 24-inch waist, so she’s taken her already strict diet to even more extreme lengths, fasting for 18 hours a day instead of 16 and cutting her calorie intake to just 1,000 a day. RIGID REGIME “She’s cut out all grains and natural sugars, too, so she won’t even eat fruit or a dab of ketchup, and insists she needs to be rigid if she wants her…

1 RAINBOW REVIVAL Not just for summer (or toddlers), super-brights will add some joy to gloomy winter months. Start small with accessories if you’re not 100% sold – they’re a great way to test out the trend, while adding something extra to simple outfits. 2 VINTAGE JACQUARD Luxe-looking jacquard prints are the perfect way to ooze retro cool – without having to rummage in a dusty vintage shop. Pair with a statement slogan T-shirt and, when it gets chilly, wear with chunky knits for a stylish mix. A berry lipstick will up the glam factor. 3 RETRO VERSACE VIBES You may remember this style from the ’80s, where rich Versace prints dominated everyone’s shoulder pads. This time around the trend is just as bold, brash and decadent – go all-out…

NATURAL PLAIN YOGHURT SWEETENED WITH FRUIT “Yoghurt is a good source of calcium for building strong bones. To make plain yoghurt more appealing, add fresh fruit, like berries or banana, as a natural sweetener and for extra vitamins and fibre.” EGGS WITH WHOLEGRAIN BREAD SOLDIERS “Eggs, whether boiled, scrambled or poached, are an Aladdin’s cave of nutrients, while wholegrain bread contains fibre to keep them fuller for longer. For younger children, cut toast into soldiers so that they can dip them into a soft-boiled egg.” BANANA AND SOYA MILK OATY SMOOTHIE “To improve children’s concentration, add half an avocado or a banana to soya milk, along with some oats, then blend. The soya milk is fortified with iron, vitamin D and calcium, all of which help boost brain power.” WHOLEGRAIN…

Apparently, men who wear boxer shorts have healthier, livelier and more abundant sperm than those who opt for tight pants. It’s all down to tight underwear increasing “scrotal temperatures”, which has a negative impact on men’s swimmers. Among more than 600 men who were all undergoing fertility treatment with their partners, those who wore boxers had a 25% higher sperm concentration, 17% higher total sperm count and 33% more swimming sperm than men who favoured tight pants. Loosen up, lads!…

Whether you’ve just got back from a holiday or are about to go, you’re probably familiar with how stressful time off can actually be. You can get yourself so worked up before setting off that the holiday can be an anticlimax, plus mobile phones make it almost impossible to leave behind work and other demands. So, how can you get the most out of your downtime? PLAN ACTIVITIES First, get excited! Decide what activities you’re going to do, the sights you’re going to see, the food you’ll try. Don’t overfill your schedule, but hone in on the “must-dos”. Set an out-of-office on your email and, if you can, leave the work phone at home. A nifty trick is to say your return is a day later than it really is,…
