Liposuction

Definition

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or suction-assisted lipectomy, is cosmetic surgery performed to remove unwanted deposits of fat from under the skin. The surgeon sculpts and recontours a person’s body by removing excess fat deposits that have been resistant to reduction by diet or exercise. The fat is permanently removed from under the skin with a suction device.

Yogi in the bear market

Down, Jones

The “Downward-Facing Dog” pose (traditionally known as the Adho Mukha Svanasana) is an all-over, rejuvenating stretch, perfect for strengthening the arms and legs and quieting the mind. Start on all fours, fingers spread, feet hip-width apart facing your hands. Keeping your chest low, push your legs straight and your bottom up to the ceiling, so you form a deep “V”. This pose is both energising and calming, helping to relieve stress and mild depression.

After all, running is the most accessible form of exercise – anywhere can be your instant gym. But learn a little about physics, and the same can hold true for your muscle workout.

Fight fire without water

The esophagus and stomach connect at an angle. When you sleep on your left, the stomach is higher than the esophagus, allowing food and stomach acid to slide up your throat. But if you sleep on your right, the stomach will be lower than the esophagus, so gravity is in your favor.
