Cloudy urine is something you shouldn’t ignore

Here's the thing about pee: It doesn't really beg to be looked at on the TP. Still, it's wise to take a peek in the toilet after relieving yourself every once in a while. Most of the time, pee's going to look exactly how it should: clear and pale yellow. But...what if it looks a little cloudy-opaque, even? First, I know I say this all the time, but don't freak. While, yes, cloudy pee is a sign that something is off, it's likely nothing serious-there are several (totally NBD) reasons why your pee might be looking a little hazy, says Hajar Ayoub, M.D., a urologist with UT Health and UT Physicians. Take stock of the following reasons why your urine might be a little off-and if things don't clear up (literally) in a few pees, it might be time to see your doc. 1. You're not drinking e...

Cheapest and most expensive market towns in UK revealed

    Parts of the country are seeing property prices slow but for market towns, prices are rising by almost £1,000 a month. House prices in market towns are £41,633 (17%) higher on average than the price of houses in the rest of their county, according to research by Halifax. And houses in Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire are at the top of the table, carrying a typical price tag of more than £1m 158% more than the county's average of £408,980. With the beautiful Chilterns on the doorstep and London a commutable distance away, Beaconsfield was the most expensive market town the researchers looked at. Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, has an average house price of £838,206 and Alresford, Hampshire, is on £542,614. But for those who do not want to spend quite as much on a ho...

More snow expected Sunday as Britain gets its first taste of winter

    Britain got its first taste of winter yesterday after Arctic air swept down and deposited a blanket of snow over higher ground. The Pennines and hillier parts of County Durham woke to a wintry blanket, and a centimetre of snow fell on Aviemore in the Cairngorms. Drivers in some areas faced treacherous conditions on the roads. Met Office forecasters warned that more snow showers are expected today. As clocks went back and summertime officially ended, many families were expected to wake to white streets and rooftops. The snow is falling on one of the coldest October weekends in ten years. Temperatures are struggling to hit double figures, said the Met Office. John West at the Met Office told the Press Association flurries could continue throughout the weekend. He...

Morocco ditches time change could Europe follow

    Winter may be coming, but Morocco has decided to stop marking the changing of the seasons by turning back its clocks. As millions of people around the world prepare for an extra hour of sleep this weekend (or one more episode of your current Netflix series of choice), the north African nation has instead abandoned the concept of clock changes and chosen to stick to summer time all year round. The Moroccan government said the decision to stay on GMT+1 would save an extra hour of natural light and reduce electricity consumption. It is a move that could be soon replicated in plenty of other countries, with the EU consulting on a proposal to abandon the practice from 2019. Since 2002, the twice-yearly time change has been dictated by an EU directive, with a harmonised...
Brexit could kill 5,600 people a year by making fruit and veg unaffordable

Brexit could kill 5,600 people a year by making fruit and veg unaffordable

    A hard Brexit could kill up to 5,600 people a year because people won't be able to afford as many fruit and vegetables, researchers claim. Scientists say the rising price of importing food will worsen people's diets and lead to more cases of cancer, heart disease and stroke within 10 years. More than 90 per cent of the UK's fruit and vegetables are imported, meaning the prices will likely go up when it leaves the EU. And pricier fresh foods could put people off, experts say, putting them more at risk of developing deadly diseases. This rise in disease could also cost the NHS an extra £600million a year, according to the Oxford University scientists. But Julian Jessop, chief economist at the Institute of Economic Affairs, told MailOnline the claim Brexit could lea...
