Don't take advice from random individuals
Here is a list of attention-grabbing headline statements made by some self-proclaimed experts. You're cutting your onions wrong. You're cleaning your bathroom wrong. You're cleaning your house wrong. And you're eating your pasta wrong. Should we listen to them? A lot of the time, the advice they give today will be completely different from the advice they might give tomorrow. Even for the little insignificant things in life, I feel that some people rely too heavily on other people's advice. In the old days, that is before social media, no one could go about giving advice unless someone visited their office and paid a consultation fee. But now such advice comes ten a penny and everyone is an expert on something. They don't even need credentials from a reputable institution. They just need a following big enough for people to pay attention. I mean, do you really care how you peel and cut onions and is their advice for avoiding tears really so innovative or desperately needed? Do we care whether or not our eyes water as we peel and cut? Personally I don't mind a little tear here and there when I work with onions because, well they do clear up your blocked up sinuses and clean your eyes. But to have a whole article on the subject seems absurd. Equally absurd is how to clean your kitchen. Aside from the fact that you really shouldn't mix up your floor cleaning clothes and substances with your board ones, what else is there? Scrub well? Don't forget to clean behind the cupboards and under the fridge, maybe work from the top down and put some elbow into it? What else is there to say? Well, I'm not completely pooh-poohing all advice given by these so-called experts but, as someone with a degree in chemistry, I would stress the dangers of mixing and matching chemicals or using two or more chemical cleaning substances simultaneously. The chemicals might combine to create toxic fumes. I would also emphasise the importance of working in well ventilated areas when using such chemicals and, if possible, to wear a mask to avoid the risk of inhaling them and to wear gloves to protect your skin. I mean aside from that, surely there's not much else to say. I think today's age of technology is not only useful but also very dangerous. Did you know that, rather than seek health advice from a medical professional, so many people go to Facebook groups and ask 'what do you think I have?' Or 'have you ever had this and how did you cure it?' And the most alarming thing is that many members of these Facebook groups actually give out advice even though they have no medical training at all. Those who advise people to go and see a doctor instead of relying on social media responses are actually labelled a 'karen' or 'ken'. Social media influencers have the most following and their advice regarding beauty treatments and nutrition is considered gold. Very likely people will follow their guidelines more than that of a medical professional. The internet is ablaze with dangerously trending cosmetic techniques that can cause cancer and other serious illnesses. People will do anything to change the colour of their hair or their skin. They will try anything to change the shape of their bodies, not because they know of a safe medical procedure but because they saw something on social media. One trend is a skin freezing technique using liquid nitrogen. Much like farmers use it to brand cattle for identification, this technique actually freezes the skin by holding a contraption against the skin for a few seconds. The idea is to change the colour of the skin and the hair. The danger is that liquid nitrogen can cause severe skin burns and it's a matter of seconds too long for the iron to be in contact with the skin to cause second, third and fourth degree burns. Alarmingly, it seems that the question of how effective this technique was in changing the colour of hair was first broached in a thread on Reddit. That's how dangerous these social media sites are

TikTok Eliminates #SkinnyTok Amid Mounting Pressure Over Harmful Diet Content
TikTok has removed the hashtag #SkinnyTok from its platform, responding to escalating concerns over content promoting extreme weight loss and disordered eating behaviours. Users searching for the term are now redirected to resources offering support for body image and eating disorders. The decision follows sustained scrutiny from European regulators, particularly in France, where officials have criticised the platform for enabling the spread of content that glamorises unhealthy body standards. Clara Chappaz, France's Minister for Digital Affairs, characterised the removal as a 'collective victory' and reiterated her commitment to safeguarding minors online. TikTok stated that the hashtag had become associated with content violating its community guidelines by promoting dangerous dieting practices, including extreme calorie restriction and excessive water consumption. Although the platform had previously attempted to mitigate exposure by restricting such content to users over 18 and adjusting search suggestions, many harmful videos continued to circulate. ADVERTISEMENT The platform has faced criticism for featuring influencers like Liv Schmidt, who promoted these dangerous practices. Her content was eventually removed after media scrutiny, and she later lost her monetisation privileges on Instagram as well. Despite the removal of the hashtag, concerns persist. Typing 'SkinnyTok' into the app now redirects users to wellness advice, but similar harmful content still thrives under altered or misspelled hashtags. Advocates argue that while the ban is a positive step, it is insufficient to address the broader issue of harmful content on the platform. TikTok's actions come amid a broader push by the European Union to hold social media platforms accountable for harmful content. The European Commission has been investigating TikTok's risk management of addictive design and harmful content since February 2024. The platform's decision to ban #SkinnyTok may be seen as an effort to demonstrate compliance with regulatory expectations. Experts warn that the proliferation of content promoting disordered eating on social media platforms like TikTok can have serious consequences for young users' mental health. Studies have shown that exposure to such content can lead to increased body dissatisfaction and a higher risk of developing eating disorders. Health professionals emphasise the need for more robust content moderation and greater awareness of the dangers posed by these online communities.

Fasting for Ramadan: 5 key tips to nourish your body and soul
Fasting during Arafat Day is a significant spiritual practice for Muslims around the world. It involves abstaining from food and drinks from dawn until sunset, on the day before Eid Al Adha. While fasting, individuals focus on prayer, reflection, and self-discipline. Here are five tips to help make fasting on Arafat Day a spiritually fulfilling and physically manageable experience. Hydration is Key Begin your fast with a balanced suhoor meal that includes plenty of fluids and hydrating foods such as fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours to prevent dehydration. Avoid caffeine and sugary drinks, as they can cause thirst. Eat Nutritious Foods Opt for wholesome, nutrient-rich meals during iftar (breaking the fast) to replenish your body's energy levels. Include complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats to sustain you throughout the fasting period. Avoid overeating or indulging in heavy, greasy foods, which can lead to discomfort and sluggishness. Moderate Physical Activity While intense exercise may be challenging during fasting hours, light physical activity such as walking or gentle stretching can help maintain energy levels and promote overall well-being. Listen to your body and avoid strenuous activities, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Prioritize Rest and Sleep Ensure you get adequate rest and sleep during Ramadan to support your body's fasting process. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep per night and consider taking short naps during the day if needed. Establish a bedtime routine to promote relaxation and quality sleep. Focus on Spiritual Growth Use the opportunity of Ramadan to deepen your connection with your faith. Allocate time each day for spiritual reflection and self-improvement. Engage in community iftars and taraweeh prayers to foster a sense of unity and solidarity with fellow Muslims. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Pexel & Unsplash, Feature Image: Instagram @futurebedouin
