Geologists claim to have discovered a new continent to the east of Australia: Zealandia. At 4.9 million square kilometres of land mass, 94 per cent of which is under water, Zealandia would be the world's smallest continent. 

The 11 scientists behind the claim presented their findings in the study "Zealandia: Earth's Hidden Continent" in Geological Society of America, making a case for Zealandia to be recognised as the world's eighth continent in its own right.

What is flax? Is flaxseed good for you?

What is flax? Is flaxseed good for you? Health benefits of linseed explained

FLAXSEED is one of the trendiest superfoods around at the moment. But what is flax and what are the health benefits of linseed?

As flaxseed becomes increasingly popular as a health food, nutritional therapist Anoushka Davy explains the health benefits of flax.

What is flax? 

Ms Davy said: “Flax, flaxseed and linseed are all the same thing - they are names for the seed that comes from the flax plant.” 

The flax plant has blue flowers and is cultivated for its nutritious seeds from which linseed oil, also known as flaxseed oil, is made. 

Linen, yarn and fabric can also be made from the flax plant, which is one of the oldest textile fibres used by mankind. 

Is flaxseed good for you? 

Ms Davy said: “Flax is very good for you, it is a rich source of both soluble and insoluble fibre and a good source of omega 3 fatty acids for vegetarians and vegans.” 

Does sex REALLY stop after marriage?

THE AMOUNT of regular sex married couples have is less than those who haven’t got a ring on their finger - or so received wisdom goes.

• But is this actually true? Do women really stop wanting to have sex as soon as they have changed their last name?
• Unfortunately, statistics would seem to back this presumption up, with only 48 per cent of women still wanting regular sex after just four years of marriage.
• This is according to the Kinsey Report, a study into the sex lives of Americans by the National Centre for Health Statistics.
• The most recent findings were published in 2016, and it seems modern women do tire of sex fairly early on into their married lives.
• The findings come after it was revealed the average person spends 117 days of their life having sex.
• This makes up 0.45 per cent of our lives, according to sports brand Reebok.
• More data has revealed the average British person will have sex 5,778 times before they die - which seems like quite a lot on paper.
• This equates to sex once every 2.7 days if you are sexually active between the ages of 16 and 60.
•  
• A 2008 study of Canadian and American sex therapists found the average time for men to last in bed was seven minutes.
