    What are the worst Everest tragedies?

    02/09/2026 | 6 mins.
    There have been many films and documentaries about the thrill and struggle of climbing Everest and with social media it has become an ever more popular destination. Just this year a French youtuber has broken audience records for his film ‘Kaizen’ about his challenge that he made to conquer Everest in just one year.

    Over the past century, over 340 climbers have died on its peaks, with 2015 being the deadliest year with 22 fatalities. Most deaths result from avalanches, falls, and mountain sickness, which occurs at high altitudes due to low oxygen levels and can cause fatal brain or lung edema.

    Isn’t Everest extremely dangerous? How do you get the bodies down? What happened in the storm of ‘96? What about over-tourism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Is period underwear really better for the environment?

    02/09/2026 | 6 mins.
    Period underwear came out in 2013 but has increased in popularity, largely as they claim to be better for the environment and easy to use.

    However, in January 2023 Thinx, a leading US manufacturer of period underwear who branded themself as a sustainable alternative to single-use menstrual products has just settled a lawsuit regarding the presence of PFAs, also known as “forever chemicals.” Now people are wondering if period underwear is really as good as companies have made them out to be.

    What is period underwear? What are forever chemicals? What alternatives are there to period underwear? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    01/09/2026 | 5 mins.
    After clocking out, who doesn’t crave a hearty meal after a hard day's work? But here’s the thing: your dinner choices could be tipping the scales.

    You’ve likely heard the old saying, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.” And yes, that pauper’s plate might skip the starches.

    Why? How so? So, can you cozy up with carbs at night? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    How can I choose the right mattress for me?

    01/09/2026 | 6 mins.
    Getting restorative sleep and putting an end to back pain are both good reasons to opt for quality bedding. And if another reason was needed: on average, we spend 7-9 hours in bed every night and around a third of our lives sleeping in total.

    The problem is it can sometimes be like diving into a sea of options when it comes to mattresses. The most common type is the foam mattress, which adapts to all body shapes.

    What are the other types of mattresses? Should I go for soft or firm? What if I have back problems? How often should I be changing my mattress? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Are additives bad for your health?

    01/09/2026 | 6 mins.
    According to The Sun, scientists say that “the average person in the UK now consumes more than eight kilograms of chemical additives every year.” Of course with that being an average figure, it can shoot up even further for those who eat a lot of ultra-processed foods.

    If you’ve ever looked closely at ingredients lists on the packaging of food you buy in your supermarket, you’ll have noticed the E numbers by which additives can be recognised. Each category has its assigned E numbers. For example, colours are in the 100s, preservatives in the 200s and antioxidants in the 300s.

    Aren’t additives banned? What are they actually used for? Why do additives have such a bad rap then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
