RIDING

HIGH: But

long cycle

journeys

are causing

finger pain

● Dieters who struggle to give up

their favourite dishes will be

encouraged by research

suggesting eating meals earlier

can help them shed pounds.

A US study found overweight

people eating all three main meals

by 2pm burnt more fat despite

eating the same food. Participants

also had reduced appetite and

lower levels of hunger hormones.

Researchers say this could be

key to weight loss without having

to change what we eat.

Author Eric Ravussin, of

Louisiana State University, said:

“Coordinating meals with

circadian rhythms, your body’s

internal clock, may be a powerful

strategy for reducing appetite and

improving metabolic health.”

Eleven adults aged 20 to 45

underwent analysis between 2014

and 2016. A respiratory chamber

room was used to measure

metabolism, assessing how many

calories, carbohydrates, fat and

protein were being burned.

Fat burning was increased in the

early eating group. The number of

calories burnt was unaffected.

● Tips on “deathbed etiquette”

have been released to help

people prepare for the final

moments of loved ones’ lives.

Advice includes reassuring

them they are “free to let go”,

being ready in case they die while

you are out of the room and not

being afraid if they talk of dead

relatives “coming to meet them”.

People are warned their loved

one may sleep a lot and that their

breathing may stop and start as

they near death.

The Art of Dying Well website

by academics at London’s St

Mary’s University was designed

using contributions by hospice

workers, palliative care experts,

nurses, chaplains and families.

Project director Margaret

Doherty said: “It’s to help

families and friends who aren’t

sure what to do or what to say.

on prescription. I suggest you ask

your doctor if she has a particular

reason for wanting you to take

duloxetine and if not, whether she

can prescribe an alternative.

Q

I HAD a red rash under my skin.

It started on my arms then went

to the top of my legs. A dermatologist

diagnosed lymphoid infiltrate by

doing a biopsy. It had started to fade

but keeps coming back. The doctor

said I have to go back in six months

but if it changes to go back sooner.

Is this something I need to worry

about? I don’t even know what it is.

A

LYMPHOID infiltrate is the

name given to a rare condition

where a type of white blood cell,

known as lymph cells, collect in the

skin. The lesions feel solid, are red or

pink and can occur anywhere.

The skin around the lesions may

feel a bit itchy and though the lesions

may remain unchanged for years,

they may spontaneously disappear.

The cause isn’t known but the

condition may be linked to some

other skin disorders, including lupus.

It can make the skin more sensitive

to the sun, so it’s important to protect

your skin by wearing a sunblock of at

least a SPF30 all the time.

If the lesions are bothering you

then steroids, either as a cream or

taken as tablets, can be tried.

Very occasionally, especially in

older people, lymphoid infiltrate may

be an early sign of lymphoma, a

malignant condition of the lymph

glands. It is important your skin is

checked regularly by a dermatologist

so keep attending your appointments.
