Anti-Aging Antioxidants.

You probably keep hearing about antioxidants,
but what do they do?

As the name might suggest, they clear out oxidants -
toxins that are released whenever something burns,
such as smoking a cigarette or the body burning off
food to provide energy.

These can be cancelled out with foods like carrots,
tomatoes, oranges, broccoli, nuts, and fish. All of
these contain antioxidants, thus decreasing the among
of cell damage caused by oxidants in the system.

What does the "SPF" in sunscreen mean anyway?

"SPF" stands for Sun Protection Factor. It applies only to ultraviolet
radiation.
Basically, the SPF is a multiple of how much time you can stay
in the sun without burning your skin.

For instance, if you burn without any sunscreen in 10 minutes,
a sunscreen with an SPF 15 would allow you to stay in the sun for
150 minutes without burning.

Many people say to put ice on your eyebrows before plucking ...
but this actually tightens pores and makes plucking more painful.

Do the opposite and put a warm washcloth on your forehead first
to open pores. Use ice afterwards to soothe any pain.

Supplements Enhance Health.

New Studies Confirm Supplements Enhance Health
By Dr. Allen S. Josephs

I get so tired of responding to vitamin naysayers. The latest one is Dr. Eric Rimm, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard. He reportedly told ABC television that dietary supplements will not provide the nutritional boost a poor diet requires. He does correctly state that a change in diet and lifestyle will improve health, although adds that "fundamentally unhealthy people seeking dietary remedial actions through supplementation are wasting their time". He also adds, "Indeed, dietary supplements used in this way may provide little more than expensive urine."

Obviously, optimizing your diet and exercise plans is a great way to impenquin exercisingprove your health. Even so, I take issue with Dr. Rimm uniformly slamming nutritional supplementation. Dr. Michael Holick who wrote a wonderful review article1 on vitamin D deficiency last year in The New England Journal of Medicine, noted that 40% of Americans are vitamin D deficient. It is clear that the nutritional value of our food has diminished over the last few decades.
