📰 Miley Cyrus reveals the ‘powerful’ therapy that helped her conquer stage fright
Miley Cyrus recently shared that EMDR therapy helped her overcome stage fright, describing it as life-saving and effective. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a therapy used to process unresolved trauma and emotional pain by shifting memories from the emotional part of the brain to the logical part.

EMDR has been used by other public figures like Prince Harry to address painful experiences. The therapy aims to replace negative memories with empowering ones, leading to increased confidence and peace in performance settings.
📰 Old people smell’ is real, experts say — here’s how to avoid it as you age
The article discusses the phenomenon of “old people smell,” a faintly musty or greasy scent associated with aging. Experts explain that changes in skin composition and oil production as the body ages contribute to this odor. One key compound responsible for the smell is 2-nonenal, which emerges from lipid oxidation in aging skin. Managing this body odor may require more complex solutions, such as antioxidant-rich foods, hydration, and skincare. Hormones, medications, and underlying health issues like cancer or dementia can also impact body odor. Sudden changes in body odor should be monitored as they could signal health issues and may require medical attention.
📰 The gross reason experts say you should never go to bed with wet hair
Sleeping with wet hair can lead to scalp issues and bacterial buildup in bedsheets, according to hair and skin experts. Wet hair is more elastic and fragile, making it prone to breakage and damage when combined with friction from pillowcases. Damp scalp against a pillow overnight can create a warm, humid environment ideal for fungal growth and bacterial buildup, leading to scalp irritation or dandruff. Moisture from wet hair can transfer to pillowcases, harboring bacteria and oil that contribute to skin breakouts or flare-ups. Dermatologists warn against sleeping with wet hair as it can exacerbate hair damage, scalp issues, and skin conditions like acne and eczema. To prevent these problems, experts recommend towel-drying hair, using leave-in conditioner, and blow-drying on low heat or loosely braiding hair before bed.
📰 Just one hot dog a day could raise disease risk, study suggests, but some cite caveats
A new meta-analysis from the University of Washington found that habitual consumption of processed meat, sugary drinks, and trans fatty acids is linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, and colorectal cancer. The study concluded that there is no safe level of consumption for these food groups and they should be avoided in daily diets. Processed meats, sugary drinks, and trans fatty acids were all associated with increased risks of various chronic diseases based on the amount consumed per day. The study also highlighted the importance of limiting or eliminating processed foods in order to reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes. While the study acknowledged some limitations in dietary intake assessment, it emphasized the need for further research to strengthen the evidence on the health impacts of processed foods.
