If you still want the regular, intricate, bride and groom on your wedding mehendi, you are living under a rock. Now, getting your partner’s face — complete with every detail — on your palms is the new trend.

Researchers have identified a complex network in the brain that has revealed why artificial sweeteners may not be the best way to slim down.

It senses and integrates the sweetness and energy content of food, said the…

Ditching homemade food for that king size burger and French fries can add not only extra kilos around your belly but may also increase the risk of developing diabetes, a study has warned. Individuals who often ate from outside, typically fast food were more prone to gain weight — a major cause for developing Type 2 diabetes, the researchers said.

In Bollywood, the story of ‘fat to fit’ is an old one. From Arjun Kapoor to Sonakshi Sinha, from Sonam Kapoor to now Parineeti Chopra, many have dropped more than a dozen pounds and at least (if not more) three dress sizes.
