1 MYTH SEAWATER HELPS HEAL WOUNDS Doctors use a sterile saline (salt water) solution to clean wounds, but that’s very different to seawater, which can be full of nasties. Tropical water near coral reefs in particular is ground zero for bacteria. You’re unlikely to pick up a flesh-eating bug, but may get a low-grade infection that makes existing cuts slow to heal, especially near fisheries or farms and after heavy rain. Cover up any existing cuts with a waterproof bandage. 2 MYTH YOU SHOULD NEVER SWIM AFTER EATING Remember the torture of waiting a full hour after lunch before you could resume swimming races or handstand practice? Mum said swimming with a full tummy would give you cramps so bad you’d sink like a stone. It turns out she was…

The father-of-three, 46, announced on social media he was embarking on a quick-fix diet. “10 day intense pre-Christmas fitness program started today & all I see on TV is food commercials,” he quipped on Instagram.

And that’s not all – she’s been uncharacteristically candid in interviews over the past month. “I want more out of life. Who knows if family is one of my horizons? But if that were to happen that would incredible,” Kylie said on BBC Radio last week. In the past, Kylie has deflected questions about her personal life, but lately she’s opened up. “I have a love…

When Tessa James was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year, friends and family kept telling her the same thing: that she was brave. It’s a compliment that was meaningful and significant to her – but Tessa knows that for many women in her situation, it’s difficult to feel beautiful. “I didn’t worry about what I looked like, because everyone knew I wasn’t well,” she tells Gritty Pretty magazine. “What can you do about it? I was OK with being bald and felt silly in a wig, it didn’t feel right.” Now in remission, Tessa is the picture of health and happiness. “I feel beautiful, which I haven’t in a really long time, and I feel more confident in my skin than ever before,” she says, adding that she learned to…

I was the bravest miner in town There’s not much that would bring 40 hardened miners to tears, but the sight of eight-year-old Liam Latz operating a drill was enough. After a year battling anaplastic large cell lymphoma, Liam wanted to try his hand at mining – so Make-A-Wish arranged for him to go to the remote Argyle diamond mine in WA with his family. He got to go down the mine, ride in the huge trucks and push the button on a giant drill. Liam’s dad Gavin says it was a magical day. “We were so lucky,” says Gavin. “There was raw emotion down the mine. The miners made us feel special.” Liam, now 10, collects rocks and became interested in diamonds from playing video game Minecraft while sick.…
