better health Still a vastly under-diagnosed condition, osteoporosis carries a harmful stigma meaning that it's wrongly thought of as a disease that only affects post-menopausal women. However, when actress Jameela Jamil recently revealed that she has low bone density as a result of extreme dieting, it sounded alarm bells for many. “I have been in a lot of pain lately and it turns out 20 years of dieting has hurt my bone density,” Jameela explained to her Instagram followers. In fact, osteoporosis and osteopenia, the medical definition for bone density loss, which is often a precursor for the condition, can affect anyone – regardless of age or gender. What is it? “Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become weaker and break more easily,” explains Sarah Leyland, Clinical Advisor at…

As I stepped off the plane, I smiled at my new husband, John. We'd met because I worked with his stepdad. Bored of me complaining that there were no decent men, he'd set me up with John. After a whirlwind romance, we'd got married on 11 June 2010. On our honeymoon in America, staying with my brother and his family, my favourite thing was watching John with my niece and nephew. “Come on Uncle John,” they'd shout. I knew he would make a great dad and we'd planned to start trying for a family after our honeymoon. But when we got home, John wasn't well. He was exhausted and a few days later, he collapsed at work. I rushed to the hospital where doctors told me he'd had three seizures.…

bella debate No Catherine Cooper, 53, author 'If you want to sit with your family, plan ahead' As a mother of two now grown-up children and a frequent traveller, I have always appreciated the importance of forward planning, especially as a family. It is no secret that on some airlines, you have to pay to select your seats if you want to sit in a particular part of the plane, or with a particular person. On a short flight, I will usually just put my headphones on and take my chances with seat selection. But on a longer flight, I will give serious consideration to where I want to sit, taking into account the time of day, if I am likely to want to sleep or work, or would prefer…

Melt-proof coverage When it comes to summer-proofing your make-up regime, “less is more,” reveals Jess Kohn, UK Lead Artist at Laura Mercier. “Instead of foundation, try something lighter, like a tinted moisturiser, especially something for added skincare benefits,” she explains. “This will even out your skin tone and won't slip, slide, or melt off under the sun.” A lightweight base product is also less likely to settle into fine lines, making it a great option for mature skin. Daily defence While SPF is recommend all year round, it's especially vital during the summer, as the sun remains the number-one reason for premature skin ageing. “If you've been skipping it, you should add it into your routine now,” urges Ruby Hammer MBE, global make-up artist. “These days, you can get it…
