There it is again - your pesky backache. It's a common complaint of many people. Fortunately, a serious illness is rarely the cause, says orthopaedist Dr David Kubosch. The culprit is usually tense muscles from sitting for long periods, or from excessive mechanical stress on them. Kubosch has four tips for relief from the pain: 1. Heat Applying heat stimulates blood flow and helps loosen stiffness. Heat can come, for example, from a heat patch with cayenne pepper extract, deep-heat-rub cream or infrared heat lamp. The lamp, as with a good old hot-water bottle or cherry-pit pillow, restricts yo...

The premiere of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on May 7, 1824 was a great success. The performance was "repeatedly interrupted by the audience's enthusiastic cheers," one critic wrote after the concert in Vienna, at which the deaf composer was present. At the time the audience couldn't have known that they were listening to what would ultimately become the Anthem of Europe. Centuries later this piece of music with a turbulent political history is regarded as a masterpiece of Western classical music. Ahead of his time Alongside the enthusiasm for the first symphony in music history to fe...

With symptoms that include itching and burning, vaginal thrush is no fun. Many women are understandably reluctant to talk about it, although medical experts say that three out of four get it at least once in their lifetime. Also called vaginal yeast infection or vulvovaginal candidiasis, vaginal thrush is caused by an overgrowth of candida, a type of yeast, which is a type of fungus. The most prevalent microorganisms in a healthy vagina, lactobacilli, create a mildly acidic environment that inhibits the proliferation of pathogens. When the natural balance of bacteria and yeast is disrupted, in...

Having a bad day? Feeling down, depressed or negative? People may tell you to cheer up - focus on the positive. Look on the bright side. There's even a hashtag for this: #goodvibesonly. That's toxic positivity say some experts. It's okay to feel down, depressed and negative. In fact overly positive thinking does us more harm than good. "Most people have a good knowledge of positive emotions and how to deal with them," according to Dorothee Salchow, a coach in Hamburg and a lecturer at Germany's Society for Positive Psychology (DGPP). She lists the 10 positive emotions as follows: pleasureinspi...

Ferrari has continued its line of V12-powered flagship models with the introduction of the 12Cilindri. Italian for ‘12 cylinder’, the new 12Cilindre effectively replaces the 812 Superfast as the firm’s core V12-powered model. There’s no electrification whatsoever in this classically-inspired two-seater, with the 12-cylinder V12 kicking out 819bhp and 678Nm of torque – significantly more than the 788bhp you’d get from the standard 812 Superfast. Performance remains suitably brisk with 0-100 km/h coming in just 2.95 seconds, while with enough room the 12Cilindre will manage a top speed of 340 km...

While some prefer white asparagus, anyone who gravitates towards the green variety this season should be aware that the two types not only differ in taste and appearance, but also in how they should be stored. White asparagus can be kept flat in a wet towel and stored for a short-time in the refrigerator, while the green variety should be kept unpeeled and upright, like a bouquet of flowers, in a bowl with little water. Storing green asparagus in a vertical position protects the stalks from drying out and helps them to stay fresh for longer and not become woody at the ends so quickly. About 2 ...
