Getting older frightens a lot of people and for some it even becomes an obsession. American multimillionaire and biohacker Bryan Johnson is perhaps the most prominent example from this day and age.

Now of course some aspects of ageing, including our genes, are totally beyond our control. But still, our everyday behaviour can influence our healthspan, which is the number of years we remain in good health. Three habits in particular are associated with a greater risk of age-related illness and premature death.

What are these habits? Is lack of sleep a factor? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Beauty standards are always shifting. Back in the '60s through the '90s, especially in the West, the ideal body for women was all about being slim, think long, lean silhouettes and flat bottoms.

But by the late '90s and especially in the 2010s, that completely flipped. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj helped usher in a new trend, one that celebrates curves, especially a fuller derriere.

To achieve this look, some people turn to cosmetic surgery. And there’s one procedure in particular that’s become famous, and notorious: the BBL.

So, what exactly is a BBL? But why is the risk so high? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

When we talk about the Holocaust, most of us immediately think of death camps like Auschwitz or Dachau, chilling symbols of the Nazis’ “Final Solution”. But before they reached that level of industrialised brutality, the Nazis explored other ways to remove Jews from Europe. One plan, both absurd and terrifying, was to send all Jews to the distant island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.

How on earth did the Germans come up with that idea? What happened for the plan to take off in 1940? Why didn’t it happen then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We've all experienced those gut feelings, hunches, or flashes of insight that seem to come from nowhere. But what exactly is intuition, and can it be explained?

Even though scientists haven't yet unraveled all of its secrets, intuition isn’t as mysterious as we might think. One expert definition of intuition says that it is: "the universal ability to grasp information in a non-conventional way, outside of a rational and reasoned process.” It’s the kind of intimate knowledge of reality that doesn't rely on knowledge, reflection, or logic.

Are there different types of intuition? Does everyone have intuition? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

According to the World happiness report, of the 137 countries they include, the UK has fallen to 19th position. This follows a steady decline over the past few years although they are happier than Lithuania in 20th position and France in 21st position. As ever Finland has continued its winning streak and stays at number one just above New Zealand.

The report combines both subjective well-being assessments and objective indicators. Respondents rate their own current lives on a scale from 0 to 10. They ask people to imagine a ladder with the best possible life for them being a 10 and the worst possible life being a 0.

What has caused the decrease in happiness? Is this the same all across the UK? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
