Who, What, Why: Are skinny jeans bad for your health? BBC News

Published

on



Skinny jeans can cause serious damage to nerves and muscles, doctors have warned. Doctors in Australia say they’ve identified a serious neurological condition linked to wearing the thigh and calf huggers – which is made even worse if you’re wearing high heels at the same time. It comes after a woman was left partially paralysed and had to spend 4 days in hospital after wearing some.
Just how bad for your health is the definitive hipster garment our Online Health Editor, Michelle Roberts explains.

    This is why I don’t watch the news, not because I don’t want to be informed, but because it’s usually full of useless information or it’s just overall negativity that I don’t need in my life.

    I like killing people because it is so much fun. It is more fun than killing wild game in the forest because man is the most dangerous animal of them all.

    I'm not really sure how I feel about this video. It's kind of strange to think that skinny jeans can case nerve and muscle damage. Instead of blaming the skinny jeans, there could be something else wrong with them. Skinny jeans are very common, and if they actually caused nerve or muscle damage, there would have been a bigger deal about this sooner.

    I feel like this video is a little harsh to blame clothing, specifically skinny jeans for nerve damage and Compartment Syndrome. I feel like if you are wearing consistently wearing clothes that are that tight that they are causing severe nerve damage and constricting blood flow that there has to be something else already wrong with your nerves to tell you that something does not feel right about that clothing. If jeans are that tight around just your calves I feel like it would be hard to breath before I would notice circulation cut off.

    Don't know about the health issue but as far as fashion goes, I'm just glad skinnies are losing popularity to bootcut and flare jeans and slowly going out of style. I'm seeing lots more bootcut and flare than skinny on all ages and it's refreshing. Even the fashion mags are touting flare over skinny. Of course, bootcut and flare never went out of style to begin with. Even during the skinny craze, all fashionable women kept at least one pair of flares around and mixed them into her outfits regularly. Flares were still often seen throughout the stupid skinny craze. Long live flares!

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
