The top 10 problems affecting sleep
Many older people find that as they age, they have more and more sleep problems: some of them have difficulty falling asleep, and others may wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. and never sleep again; in some cases, it is clear that they have slept for a short time, but they still feel sleepy the next day.

Why non-smokers are getting lung cancer
As a lung cancer researcher and patient advocate at Trinity College Dublin, Anne-Marie Baird gets mixed responses when she tells people about her profession. One of the more memorable was when, at a scientific conference, she was asked “Why would you even bother researching that? They deserve it – and they’re all going to die anyway.”

Why don't we know more about migraines?
The first time I experienced a migraine was one evening after school. A dull headache turned into splitting pain, blurring my vision and converting my bedroom light into a source of pure agony. Then came the vomiting. It’s a cycle I’ve experienced countless times in recent years – one that forced me to quit my job and left me feeling helpless.

How terrible is liver cancer, known as the "king of cancer"?
The liver is the largest organ in the body and is divided into two lobes, the right lobe accounts for about 3/5 of the liver and weighs about 1.2 kg. A normal liver can regenerate and even if 2/3 of the liver is removed, the body can still maintain normal function and the remaining liver will regenerate, allowing the liver to grow back to its original size. The main function of the liver is to detoxify and metabolize.

What can be done to prevent and deal with atherosclerosis?
For non-medical people, I wonder if you have the feeling that "atherosclerosis" has been repeatedly mentioned in recent years. This is because, with the continuous improvement of social development and economic level, people's high-calorie foods such as high sugar, high protein, and high fat are increasing, and after middle age, people's digestive function starts to decline and exercise decreases, so the diseases caused by atherosclerosis are increasing. Therefore, atherosclerosis is a chronic and progressive disease. Today I will make a simple scientific explanation for you.

The mystery of the pelvic floor
Since becoming an adult, it’s been impossible to avoid hearing about the importance of a strong pelvic floor. I’ve probably stumbled upon dozens of articles. My doctor and midwives recommend Kegels. Some friends warn that I better do them during pregnancy; other friends admit they skip the burpees in workout class so they don’t wet their leggings. I’ve read about the (debunked) strengthening claims of jade eggs and how French women get electronic physiotherapy after giving birth. The message is clear: a healthy pelvic floor deserves a place on my list of things to worry about.

How the pill changes your body shape
It’s been blamed for polluting our rivers, destroying our marriages and – ironically – killing our sex drives. It’s been called a conspiracy by the patriarchy. It’s even be accused of making women fancy ugly men. But for many women, one of the most off-putting charges against the contraceptive pill is that it makes us fat.
