As much as we might not like to hear it, we’re all getting older by the second.

“Getting older is a normal part of life, but medical science can prolong our youthful lifespan far beyond what our parents could expect,” says Dr Jonathan Seah, the Chairman of LifeClinic and LifeHub. He believes “50 could be the new 30, and 80 the new 50!”

At LifeClinic and LifeHub, doctors and practitioners take a scientific whole-body approach to ..read more

Next week’s full moon on May 26th is slated to be one of the most spectacular of the year. Not only will it be a “supermoon” (when the moon appears slightly bigger than usual) it also coincides with a lunar eclipse which will turns the moon a reddish colour – also known as a blood moon!
