This is a beautiful place to spend your evening when you travel to Dubai.

Dubai Dunes offers unique desert safari packages and a wide range of custom events and tours for private groups, such as corporate events in Dubai, ballooning trips in Dubai, and more. 

Floating with the wind in a large balloon, we cruised above Dubai's dunes. This was my first time in a hot air balloon, and it's a lot more peaceful than hanging out the doors of a helicopter!

Botox may help with depression and anxiety.

A study suggests that Botox injections to keep frown lines and furrowed brows from forming may help ease some of the symptoms of depression.

Botox is a popular wrinkle treatment that paralyses facial muscles with a toxin derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It is also used to treat health problems that don't show on the outside, like too much sweating, incontinence, and migraines.

But research from the past has shown that botox can also help improve a person's mood and ease some of the symptoms of depression.

Researchers looked at how 45 women with borderline personality disorder (BPD), a condition marked by impulsivity and strong negative emotions, felt after getting Botox treatments.

Dr Axel Wollmer of Semmelweis University, the study's senior author, stated: "This is a common personality disorder characterised by emotional instability and impulsive behaviour."

Patients with BPD have an overabundance of negative emotions such as anger and fear.

"We hypothesised that by relaxing the muscles in the forehead with botox, we would break a feedback loop between the face and the brain, reducing these negative emotions."


A powerful source of fatty acids is MCT oil. Both weight loss and digestive health may benefit from it.

MCT oil has a variety of health advantages, including better digestion and more energy. MCTs, or medium-chain triglycerides, are fatty acids that are sometimes difficult to find in typical Western diets but are present in these oils. People who want to consume more fatty acids should include MCT oil in their diet.



Coconut oil vs. MCT oil 

Coconut oil was the best MCT source available for a long time. More than 60% of the fatty acids in coconut oil are MCTs. But in the end, scientists were able to separate MCTs and make oils with a lot more of these important fatty acids.

MCT Oil's Health Benefits 

MCT Oil for Weight Loss 
Some people think that MCT oil aids weight loss. This is because these acids have a favourable impact on metabolism. The body uses them as fuel rather than storing them as fat because they are simple to digest and absorb. MCT oil also offers antioxidant protection, which reduces the likelihood of gaining weight.

Many people use the "bulletproof coffee" method when using MCT oil as a weight loss supplement. This recipe combines coffee, MCT oil, and butter and suggests consuming it as breakfast each morning. It might improve concentration and lessen hunger cravings.

The benefits of the keto diet may be duplicated with regular MCT oil use. By restricting carbohydrates, this diet causes the body to produce ketones, which are the physical by products of the conversion of fat into energy. MCT oil may promote ketone production without requiring carbohydrate restriction.

Experts want to change the way we talk about obesity and treat this common disease that threatens cardiovascular health.

Obesity misconceptions are common. Many people believe that if people with obesity simply exerted more willpower to eat less and exercise more, they could easily achieve and maintain a healthy, normal weight.

Even people who suffer from obesity may believe this, despite repeated personal experience telling them otherwise. Obesity's rising prevalence — it now affects just over 42 percent of Americans — demonstrates that it is a complex, difficult disease (see "Defining obesity").

"Incorrect assumptions and biases about obesity can really derail progress against this problem, which has become the most common chronic disease of our time," says Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, a Harvard Medical School obesity specialist and associate professor of medicine and pediatrics. Addressing these issues and encouraging people to seek effective treatments can also lower the risk of the numerous, serious health conditions that frequently accompany obesity. Many of these diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, are linked to cardiovascular disease.

Misplaced prejudice

To begin, Dr. Stanford suggests referring to others or yourself as "obese" rather than "obese person." Obesity stigma and bias are widespread, often due to the misconception that poor choices and lack of motivation are the only causes. However, as with many diseases, a number of interconnected factors play a role, according to Dr. Stanford.

The "obesogenic" (obesity-promoting) environment we've all been living in for the past few decades is a major issue. One factor is constant exposure to and easy access to jumbo-sized portions of highly processed foods, which now account for more than half of all food consumed in the United States. These tempting foods, which are high in fat, salt, and sugar, are easy to consume in a hurry — and all those extra calories are frequently stored as fat. Another factor is a lack of physical activity, which makes maintaining a healthy weight more difficult.
If you have a habit of grinding and clenching your jaw at sleep, your teeth could be seriously damaged.

A night guard is a form of mouth guard used to treat bruxism, or the grinding and clenching of teeth. If our dentists or team suspects you have bruxism, a night guard may be recommended to protect your teeth from harm and prevent teeth grinding while you sleep. Many persons with bruxism are unaware that they have it because it happens while they sleep. The following are some of the most common indicators of teeth clenching and grinding during night:

Jaw, face, and ear pain that persists
A fatigued or tight feeling in the jaw when you wake up
Tension headaches and migraines on a regular basis
Tooth wear that results in chipped, flattened, fractured, or severely worn teeth.
Tooth enamel that is extremely worn, exposing the inner layers of the tooth Indentations on the tongue's side.
Tooth sensitivity has increased.
