The many phases of beauty

Aesthetic clinics are the new-age architects who promise an as-you-like-it look. Market forces, too, have contributed to this obsession for the perfect face and figure. Komal Vijay Singh reports on the boom

IMPROVE thy looks. Yes, that seems to be the new commandment a large number of us are consciously following or aspiring to. Market forces have contributed to this cosmetic obsession and the urgency to look good at all costs. The entire media machinery is busy promoting youthfulness. It is tough watching TV or reading a magazine without being bombarded with images of picture-perfect faces asking you to take a second look at your less-than perfect looks and decide in favour of some treatment or product.

Kids who walk, thrive
A new study published in the recent issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine has shown that children who walk or bike to school are more active throughout the day than those who travel to school by car. Researcher Niels Wedderkopp said that the study supports policies that promote walk-to-school programs as a way to boost children’s physical activity. The study followed 332 Danish school children who wore accelerometers to record their minute-by-minute activity.
