Many people believe that a breast lump is only concerning if it hurts. But breast cancer often causes no pain. Sometimes, the first change is something you can see rather than something you can feel. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.Dr S Mlongo says: I want us to focus on one practical message: know your breasts, know the signs, and get changes checked.

Hyrox combines strength and endurance, but intensive repetitive movements can lead to injuries if muscles become overloaded too quickly. It is essential for your body to build strength progressively and allow sufficient recovery for best performance and injury prevention.
