It often happens during the summer that the hair naturally bleaches due to chlorine from swimming pools, salt water from the sea and, above all, the sun's rays, which cause melanin degradation. 

However, this natural 'discolouring' side effect could lead to dry, moisture-deprived hair that does not look good.

Fortunately, there are all-natural do-it-yourself treatments to lighten hair without damaging it. Let us discover them together.

When one speaks of dehydration, one is dealing with a state in which the body loses more fluid than it takes in.

In fact, the body continuously loses fluids through a series of physiological activities ranging from sweating to urination, from faeces to breathing. Not to mention other episodes (such as vomiting and diarrhoea) that can cause further fluid losses. Losses that must obviously be supplemented.

In addition to these physiological conditions, dehydration can also be caused by pathologies and generally manifests itself through specific symptoms. Let's see which ones. (Source: humanitas.it)

The use of smart working is becoming increasingly common and while this may be perfect for both workers and companies, for the former it often also means paying more attention to one's health.

Some people notice a strong weight gain in conjunction with periods of diets or diet regimes that, theoretically, should make them lose weight: is this strange? No, in fact, it is a much more common condition than one might think.

Weight gain is basically the difference between the calories assimilated through food and the calories spent during the day through physical activity, metabolism and other factors. If you are on a low-calorie diet, and you notice an increase in weight, there could be various reasons.

From a change in metabolism to exercise, this is why even those on a strict diet may find themselves gaining weight.

Why does the brain have such a hard time adapting when dieting and lead to gaining weight again as soon as the diet ends or becomes less 'drastic'?

A study by the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research and published in Cell Metabolism tried to answer this question by demonstrating how brain circuits change when dieting.

Drastic and inflexible diets, which would lead to greater stress on the brain, would be mainly to blame.
