(1º§) Arthritis and osteoporosis are long-term conditions that affect your bones. Arthritis causes swelling and inflammation. Osteoporosis develops as a result of decreased bone mass and density, and can lead to fractures.

(2º§) Jane Atkinson looks at ways to keep your bones and joints healthy. Regular, low-impact exercise can help in the battle against joint pain. Nuffield Health has launched a free joint pain programme to help sufferers lead a more independent life - and you don't even need to be a paying member of the gym to join up. As well as exercises, it offers lifestyle tips and uses relaxation techniques to try to help with pain so those affected can sleep.

(3º§) The programme, which lasts six months, has proven results. Of those who completed it, 69 per cent say they have improvements in mobility, pain, general fitness levels and overall quality of life. Among participants who were in such pain they couldn't work, 30 per cent were able to return after week 12. Working out what supplements you need and how much you need is not always easy.

(4º§) Osteo Complete is a bone health complex that includes calcium, vitamin D3, zinc, boron and copper. These elements work together to help maintain your musculoskeletal system, which supports the body and its movements. Vitamin D3 is crucial for the absorption of calcium. The minerals magnesium and zinc contribute to normal protein synthesis, while copper helps maintain connective tissues.

(5º§) These very tasty vanilla-flavoured tablets are a good alternative for people who do not like swallowing pills as you can chew them. 240 chewable tablets, £18.95, healthspan.co.uk.

(6º§) The world has gone mad for collagen. There are different types, but for bone health the best is Type I. It provides structure to your skin, bones, tendons and ligaments. The change is not instant. Take it regularly and it could take a year to achieve the full results, but if you are persistent it does work. I like Correxiko Marine Collagen Type I. It comes from the skin of deep-sea fish, caught off the coast of Canada.

(7º§) It is an unflavoured powder that you bung in water or a coffee. Lisa Snowdon says her menopausal and age-related aches and pains have gone since she started using it. £39.95 for a 42-day supply, correxiko.com.

(1º§)EACH passing day brings many moments that cause you to furrow your brow. And the more face scrunching you do, the more dreaded lines are likely to emerge __ your forehead. But before you devote time (and a decent amount of money) to fading those pesky wrinkles, it's good idea to try and figure out what's really causing your lines. If you're under 30, chances are your forehead 'wrinkles' are in fact just dehydrated skin, according to one medic.

(2º§)Dr Ivy Lee, a board-certified dermatologist practicing in southern California, US, said dehydration lines can be easily improved without splashing the cash on Botox. She told Insider that unlike wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movement dehydration lines are finer and have a "crepe paper-like texture when the affected skin is not well hydrated." And while we may associate dehydration with drinking water, the expert said drinking more water does not have any added skin benefits. Instead, she urges young people to use topical skin treatments.

(3º§)Dr Ivy said you should look for moisturisers that contain the following three ingredients:

Humectants, which attract water into the skin (eg: hyaluronic acid)

Emollients, which repair the skin barrier and soften the skin (ex: squalene and plant-derived oils).

Occlusives, which "trap moisture into the skin by creating a seal," the expert said (ex: hydrated petroleum or mineral oil).

(4º§) She recommended using CeraVe Moisturising Cream - a 177ml tube from Boots costs will set up back just £10.

(5º§) There's no denying that luxury products contain some premium ingredients and look pretty aesthetic, but given the cost __ living crisis, affordable skincare is just as important, especially when the products work just as well. Some dermatologists have shared their favourite skincare swaps for luxury products that they say work as effectively as expensive versions.

(6º§)Vaseline vs La Mer lip balm

La Mer lip balm is touted __ many celebs as a bit of a handbag necessity. But according to Mia, nothing beats a pot of good-old Vaseline. And while La Mer balm can set you back £58 ($75), Vaseline can be as cheap as a couple of pounds.

(7º§)The INKEY List Vitamin C serum vs SkinCeuticals 

Vitamin C creams and serums can brighten your skin and, according to some studies, can reduce the signs of ageing. But these products can be expensive, because they can be tricky to make, Rebecca explained. SkinCeuticals' C E ferulic vitamin C antioxidant serum is an excellent product, she said - but it will set you back a whopping £165 ($182). Instead, why not give the INKEY List's own vitamin C a whirl, Mia suggested, which only costs £9.99 ($15.99).

(Text adapted from Teachers: 5 Tips for Creating Great PowerPoint Presentations, retrieved

   PowerPoint is a resource developed by Microsoft and released initially in 1990. It is mainly used in professional meeting presentations all over the world.

    One of these professions is in educational area: teacher.

    PowerPoint presentation is spread among teachers because it is different from lecturing or teaching with a textbook; it is also a way of sharing content with students.

    To produce a PowerPoint correctly, teachers need to know how to put the slides together, it can be an effective way of reinforcing content to students so that they are better able to retain it. Otherwise, teachers can print and distribute the PowerPoint presentation or post it online, so students can go back and access it as reference material. However, if it is not put together correctly, a PowerPoint presentation can disengage and make students bored.

   To develop PowerPoint presentation is simple and it can also provide a fun time noticed by its characteristics: basic, simple, and not distracting, it can be focused on keywords; for instance, always be sure to include a summary slide of what the presentation is intending to accomplish as well as a table of contents on the different topics that will be covered in the program. The summary slide serves as the main topic and what students should learn after viewing the presentation. Then, at the end of the PowerPoint presentation, teachers should include another summary slide, going over everything that was just covered and, again, highlighting the main point.

    PowerPoint presentations need to have a purpose and the teacher must make sure that the purpose is understood.

Add pictures

    Teachers can reinforce the content with pictures, charts, symbols, and other images. In fact, sometimes it’s better to have more pictures than text in a PowerPoint presentation, because images work to reinforce a content main point.

     Teachers typically will just share it with their classes, so they can pull images straight from the Internet. However, for teachers who are making more public and widespread presentations, copyright law needs to be considered (Brazil Information Access Law nº 12.527; Art. 31; paragraph 3; item II). 

      Pictures can help to reinforce a main point or support content, as well as videos. Some research affirm that students enjoy watching videos and retain information from them well, especially if the video is engaging, interesting and informative. Teachers can embed videos right from YouTube or from their desktops to complement a PowerPoint presentation.

      Nothing turns off a class like a poorly put together PowerPoint presentation, so teachers should always be sure to do a quick rehearsal before they present it to the class. While testing it, make sure all the images load up on the slides, videos load up properly and audio works, too. Also, it’s important for teachers to make sure that there’s a way to connect their computer, or upload anything that’s storing the PowerPoint presentation, to a larger TV monitor or projector screen so the whole class does not have to huddle around a computer screen to view it. Teachers should also make sure that any text can be read and understood. Be sure that the color scheme is good.

    A PowerPoint presentation can be an innovative way of teaching. It’s a more interesting and engaging way for students to learn than the typical lecture. Teachers should embrace this teaching resource and have fun with it. Throw in some jokes, possibly some funny pictures and be sure to get creative with presentations.

      As we previously noted, the more students enjoy a lecture, presentation, or activity, the more likely they are to retain information.
