This party season, steal the limelight with right hair and make up. Sabhya Dutta- Director at Looks Salon lists down some inputs to get the right one. * Subtle blush is a year-round must, but this season's trendy rouge is inspired by the rosy glow you get when there's a nip in the air. * Get bolder, more defined brows without a product-y look.

Yo-yo dieting , or weight cycling, or the cyclical loss and gain of weight is associated with a higher death risk, researchers have warned. A study found that this form of dieting leads to adverse health outcomes and 80 per cent of people who lose weight gradually regain either the same weight or even more than they had before going on a diet. The Endocrine Society's Scientific statement on the causes of obesity found that this was because once an individual loses weight, the body typically reduces the amount of energy expended at rest, during exercises and daily activities.
