    Should I eat starchy foods in the evening?

    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!

    What is attachment theory?

    31/08/2026 | 6 mins.
    Each of us has our own unique experience of social bonds, influenced by our childhood, previous relationships, and personality. And there’s actually a psychological theory that helps explain how we experience our relationships: attachment theory.

    In psychology, attachment is the strong bond between an individual and an "attachment figure." In most cases, our first attachment figure is the parent who takes care of us by meeting our needs from birth. Later on, the bond can become reciprocal between two adults, friends, or lovers.

    Who theorised attachment? What are the different attachment styles? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Are girls really worse at maths?

    31/08/2026 | 6 mins.
    According to the UK’s Department for Education, girls still make up fewer students choosing A-level maths and physics and even fewer go on to study engineering or computer science at university.

    Yet these subjects often lead to some of the best-paid jobs.

    So, does this mean girls just aren’t as good at maths? So, what’s behind that shift? So what can be done to change that? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
