  • Weight loss drugs may raise hair loss risk

    A new study suggests that some widely used weight loss medicines may increase the risk of hair loss (alopecia). These medicines are mainly prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. They work by copying natural hormones in the body that help control blood sugar levels and reduce appetite making it easier for some people to lose weight. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System compared people taking GLP-1 medications with those using other diabetes treatments. They found that people using GLP-1 drugs appeared to have a higher rate of hair loss. The study also noted that U.S. health regulators have received many reports of hair loss after the use of semaglutide and tirzepatide. According to the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) there were 399 reports of hair loss linked to tirzepatide in 2026, compared with 541 reports the previous year. For semaglutide, 148 reports were received in 2026 while 164 reports were recorded the year before. Experts say the findings show a possible link between these medicines and hair loss. However they stress that more medical research is needed to confirm whether the drugs are directly responsible.

    Reason, passion and desire

    We often like to view ourselves as unified, consistent individuals guided by singular motives. Yet, almost everyone has experienced an intense internal conflict. It’s wanting to spend on a impulse buy while knowing it defies financial logic. Or feeling overcome with regret immediately after giving in to a temptation. Over two millennia ago, the ancient Greek philosopher Plato set out to explain this psychological friction in Book IV of his masterwork, the Republic. Plato proposed that our psyche is composed of three distinct yet interacting forces rather than treating the human mind or psuche (soul) as a monolithic entity. Plato developed the concept of the tripartite soul. Further, he offered a framework that remains remarkably relevant to modern understandings of human behavior, self-control and moral choice. The Three Components of the Psyche Plato divides the human mind into three primary elements, each responsible for different aspects of our drives and behavior. 1. The Appetitive Element (To Epithumetikon) The appetitive part is the largest and most primal component of human nature. It encompasses our basic instinctual desires, including physical appetites for food, drink, comfort, and sensual pleasure, as well as material wants. Because these cravings are immediate and self-interested, the appetitive drive is inherently impulsive. Left unchecked, it seeks gratification regardless of long-term consequences. 2. The Spirited Element (To Thumoeides) The spirited element represents our emotional drive, passion, and sense of honor. It is the source of courage, pride, and righteous indignation when we witness or experience injustice. Unlike raw bodily appetite, the spirited part is closely tied to our moral identity and self-image. When functioning healthily, spirit acts as an ally to reason. It generates feelings of shame or self-directed anger when we surrender to harmful appetitive urges. 3. The Rational Element (To Logistikon) The rational element is the calculating and reflective mind. It seeks truth through logic, forethought, and critical reflection. What sets rationality apart from the other two components is its scope. While appetite and spirit focus on fulfilling specific, immediate goals, the rational mind evaluates what is best for the entire person in the long run. The Conflict Within: Why the Soul Divides To demonstrate that these three elements are truly distinct, Plato relies on an early formulation of the principle of non-contradiction: a single entity cannot simultaneously move in opposite directions in the exact same respect. Therefore, when a person experiences contradictory impulses such as feeling an intense thirst yet consciously choosing not to drink due to illness or health concerns, different parts of the mind must be in opposition. A classic illustration of this psychological war is the story of Leontius. While walking, Leontius felt a compulsive curiosity to look at execution corpses lying on the ground. Simultaneously, he felt disgust and moral repulsion. Eventually, his base appetite won out, causing him to rush over while angrily cursing his own eyes. This reaction demonstrates the spirited part of the soul becoming angry at the appetitive part for overriding rational judgment. From Conflict to Harmony Plato’s goal was not to suggest that humans should eradicate desire or emotion altogether. Instead, he argued that mental health and moral integrity, what he called justice of the soul, require a proper hierarchy. Reason must govern, serving as the wise leader that understands the big picture. Spirit must protect and enforce reason’s guidance with courage and conviction. Appetite must operate within temperate limits established by reason.   When these three components function in balance, an individual achieves psychological harmony. Conversely, when base desires or untamed emotions usurp the throne, inner turmoil and destructive behaviors follow. Plato’s tripartite framework ultimately serves as a timeless reminder that self-mastery is not about suppressing who we are, but about bringing our competing drives into a balanced, reason-guided unity.

  • Why you crave fried foods

    Have you ever finished a full meal but still wanted to eat fries samosas fried chicken, or pakoras? Many people think it is simply a lack of self control but scientists say there is much more to it. Research suggests that our brain taste buds and eating habits all work together to make fried foods hard to resist. When food is fried its texture smell and flavor change.  According to research from the University of São Paulo in Brazil, frying removes water from food making the outside crispy and crunchy. At the same time proteins and starches change through a process called the Maillard reaction which gives fried foods their golden color rich aroma and delicious taste. Scientists say the brain also plays an important role.  A study published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience found that eating favorite foods activates the brain’s dopamine system. Dopamine is not just linked to pleasure it also helps the brain remember enjoyable experiences and encourages us to repeat them. This is why the smell or sight of French fries samosas or fried chicken can make you want to eat them even if you are not hungry. Experts also say that craving fried foods does not usually mean your body is missing a specific nutrient. These cravings are more often influenced by habits tempting smells emotions memories and the foods around you. Does this mean fried food is bad for your health? •Not necessarily Eating fried foods occasionally is generally not a problem.  However making them a regular part of your diet may increase health risks. In a large study by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health more than 110,000 adults were followed for over 20 years. People who ate fried foods seven or more times a week had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and a slightly higher risk of heart disease than those who ate fried foods less than once a week. Researchers believe that weight gain high blood pressure, and unhealthy cholesterol levels may partly explain this increased risk. Experts do not recommend giving up fried foods completely. Instead they suggest eating balanced meals avoiding skipping meals and enjoying fried foods only in moderation. This approach may help reduce cravings while supporting better overall health. Scientists say the attraction of fried food comes from a powerful combination of crispy texture rich flavor tempting smell and the brain’s memory of enjoyable eating experiences. That’s why even after a full meal one hot and crispy bite can still be hard to resist.

  • Freedom: The Right We Must Protect

    Hani Rasheed Through the pages of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to highlight the importance of freedom in our society. Freedom is not a luxury or a favour; it is a basic right of every human being. People deserve the freedom to express their opinions, choose their future and live with dignity. Unfortunately, many people still face restrictions, fear and injustice when they raise their voices. When freedom is suppressed, society loses hope and progress comes to a standstill. A nation cannot truly develop if its people are afraid to speak the truth. The government and society must protect the rights and freedom of citizens. Freedom should be used responsibly, but no one should be silenced through injustice or fear. It is time to understand that protecting freedom means protecting the future of our nation. I hope your newspaper will highlight this important issue and encourage the authorities to protect the fundamental rights of the people

    Iqbal’s philosophy shapes modern freedom movements

    Ghulami Mein Na Kaam Ati Hain Shamsheerain Na Tadbeerain Jo Ho Zauq-E-Yaqeen Paida To Kat Jati Hain Zanjeerain (In slavery, neither swords nor plans are effective but when the taste for conviction is forged, the chains are shattered.) In these timeless couplets, Allama Muhammad Iqbal captivated a fundamental truth about human liberation. It’s that the physical force (shamsheerain) and strategic maneuvering (tadbeerain) are utterly powerless if a nation or an individual is trapped in a mindset of subjugation. True emancipation does not start on the battlefield or at a diplomatic negotiation table. It begins within the human psyche through Zauq-e-Yaqeen. An unshakeable conviction, profound self-belief, and faith in a higher purpose accordingly.  When one examines the contemporary global events, Iqbal’s words understand modern struggles for sovereignty, social justice, and systemic reform. In the modern world, servitude rarely presents itself through colonial rule or physical iron chains. Instead, modern subjugation often manifests as economic dependency, cultural imperialism, digital surveillance, and ideological defeatism. Entire populations often find themselves caught in systems that dictate their economic choices. They systems that diminish their local heritage, and undermine their self-reliance. Iqbal’s verse applies to this contemporary reality. The verse reveals why so many political reform efforts or heavily funded technological solutions fail to bring real change. When a society suffers from an internal sense of inferiority, no amount of advancement or external assistance can bring genuine autonomy. Strategy and weapons are just instruments. They remain inert without the driving force of genuine conviction. Psychological emancipation must precede material victory. Until a community believes it is worthy and capable of self-determination, external freedom remains an illusion. What does it mean to cultivate Zauq-e-Yaqeen (the taste of deep certainty) in today’s complex world? It represents a transition from passive endurance to active self-realization (Khudi). Historically and in present times, the most profound societal revolutions did not succeed purely because they had superior resources. They succeeded because a critical mass of people developed an unshakeable belief in the justice of their cause. Modern historical struggles show that authoritarian regimes with military apparatuses often crumble when faced with non-violent movements engined by absolute moral certainty. In an era of informational dominance, Zauq-e-Yaqeen requires reclaiming intellectual sovereignty. It demands rejecting narrative manipulation and trusting one’s collective identity and ethical values. Developing nations breaking free from debt cycles and foreign leverage do so by encouraging local innovation, education, and confidence in their human capital. Iqbal’s poetry is not a eulogy for the past. It is an urgent command for the present. The chains of the modern era: political suppression, economic exploitation, or personal despair, cannot be let go of by adopting foreign systems or waiting for political saviors. Real liberation requires an internal awakening. When a society cultivates faith in its intrinsic worth, its moral foundation, and its capacity to shape its destiny, the structural barriers that once seemed insurmountable inevitably begin to shatter. Strategic plans and practical tools then become effective because they are finally guided by an invincible spirit.
