Brits reveal the best pieces of health advice given to them by their family

Image
Almost half of Brits still rely on a cold cure or remedy their parents told them as a child when they feel under the weather, new research has revealed.  Gargling salt water for a sore throat and drinking a hot toddy before bed were among the health advice passed down through the generations that we still adhere to. Almost three quarters turn to their family’s tried and tested approach of steam inhalation to help with the head congestion which comes with the common cold. Less traditional cold cures are also favoured with one in seven swearing by the fortifying power of garlic while 22 per cent boost their vitamin C by eating more oranges. Nearly one in four have boiled up a bowl of chicken soup when a cold threatens, and 42 per cent have gargled salt water to help their sore throat symptoms to pass more swiftly.

Credit: Getty Images Whether you’d like your baby to have a popular name or you’d prefer to choose something more unique, this new list from Bloom & Wild will help you predict which baby names are expected to be common next year. The flower company have conducted a study to find out which names are likely to be big in 2020 and discovered that flowers, film, TV and celebrities all have an influence on baby names. Ivy is likely to do well because of Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy, who has been in the spotlight since the day she was born. Another baby who’s no stranger to the spotlight is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie, which is why a surge in popularity is expected here. Bloom & Wild note that, ‘In the past, data has shown similar uplift in royal baby names such as Charlotte and George.’ Even Meghan herself is predicted to inspire new mums, even th

The former Great British Bake Off winner has released a new autobiography Finding My Voice, where she opens up about contemplating suicide, revealing how her mum stopped her from going through with it. Speaking to You magazine about how she was bullied at school as well as being sexually abused as a child by a distant family member, Nadiya said that she remembers hearing about suicide on the TV at ten-year-old, saying, “I can only equate it to a feeling similar to being able to buy a bus ticket.” “It was, like, ‘What? I can buy this ticket and I can just go and I’d never get bullied again?’” In an excerpt from her book, Nadiya revealed that she tried to commit suicide one day after school by taking an overdose of tablets.
