Deciding to get a tattoo is an important choice because a tattoo is something that will remain on one's skin forever.

Tattooing is also a choice to be made safely, both in terms of equipment and hygienic conditions. But that is not all, because there are cases in which tattooing is not recommended or even avoided.

Often these are pathologies that advise against getting a tattoo, while at other times it may be inadvisable in certain parts of the body or when taking certain medications. (Source: epicentro.iss.it)

The World Health Organisation has released new guidelines on the consumption of carbohydrates and fats, following the latest scientific evidence.

The new guidelines on the consumption of carbohydrates and fats focus on the prevention of unhealthy weight gain for both adults and children, but also on recommendations to reduce the risk of diet-related non-communicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer.

The summary of the new guidelines revolves around limiting fat intake to 30 per cent of total energy intake and the careful choice of 'good' carbohydrates.

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.
