With its catalogue of headstands and one-legged contortions, it might be thought yoga was best left only to those in peak physical condition.
A talking robot which chats to elderly people, reminding them to take their medication and stay active, has been launched in London.
If you've never tried an acai bowl, or tucked into a black rice risotto, then 2017 could be a year of new experiences.
Gone are the days when having a 'health drink' meant a glass of orange juice with the bits left in. Even birch and cactus water feel a bit outdated, now everyone's got a Nutribullet and started making their own lurid-coloured smoothies that profess to do everything from recolonising your gut to reorganising your mind.
It is, without doubt, one of the most famous cities in the world. Certainly one of the most famous in Europe, and pretty much the most famous thing in Italy, give or take a Colosseum here and a Trevi Fountain there. Yet even Venice - instantly recognisable to anyone with eyes - the capacity to surprise. Via these 10 nuggets of fact, for starters.
It's easy to be rude about Paris. It has none of the dynamism of London, which seems to reinvent itself every year. On a bad day, particularly in wet weather, it can seem shabby, fossilised. Road closures demanded by the eco-minded mayor, Anne Hidalgo, have turned much of the city into a seething traffic jam. With the pound level-pegging the euro, the prices of restaurants and hotels can be eye-watering and you can easily end up paying through the nose for cuisine that is often unhealthy and sometimes inedible.
The Northern Lights are one of nature's great displays, a free, multicoloured light show that is most commonly seen in the Arctic regions. Every performance is different, a beautiful, shifting dance of nocturnal rainbows that many viewers find a humbling and spiritually uplifting experience.
It's an absurd, comic paradox: I can't stop fidgeting with my vast white napkin, which is placed folded side towards me - in line with traditional etiquette - but keeps slithering down my lap like a satin-stitched manta ray. At the same time, I am doing my best impression of a seated corpse that has entered the rigor mortis stage - shoulders hauled back, head pulled up with an invisible thread.
Bring up the subject of jazz and Norah Jones responds with a ripe chuckle. "That dirty word," she laughs. "It's such a loaded term, I don't know why."
Anne Hathaway's latest film is an unexpected move for the Oscar-winning actress. Colossal, which had its premiere earlier last month at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), has left critics lost for words. "This movie is insane," wrote film site Collider. The Guardian called it "the hardest movie to promote this year," while Vanity Fair's review simply begins "Hm."
Lots of people dream of becoming a mega-rich Hollywood star - but even top actors sometimes supplement their income by turning their talents to other, potentially more lucrative activities (bizarrely, none of them have yet tried pursuing a side career in journalism).
Michelle Dockery's new show is a world away from the ITV hit. But, she says, Lady Mary could return.
