Avoiding Illness
Sun CAN Actually Help Protect You Against Skin Cancer
Editor's note: Too much of a good thing can be bad. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight is good for your health, but can certainly damage your skin increasing your odds of developing skin cancer. But try not to avoid sunshine like bats because first in most cases skin cancer is not deadly, and second, if you avoid sunlight and suffer vitamin D deficiency, you are more likely to die from other more serious diseases. Expose yourself to sunlight for 15 to 20 minutes at the hottest time of the day or longer at other times. Just try not to be over-irradiated.
This Common Food Additive Now Linked to Weight Gain
Editor's comment: You gain weight because you can't use up the amount of calories you eat. Or you eat more than what you need. In most cases, this happens because the food you eat is too palatable. The palatability of a food can be boosted by a number of factors including salt (savory), umami or savory taste from MSG, fat/oil (mount feel and other flavors) and protein (savory and other tastes). If you want to control your caloric intake, reduce all these factors or whichever you like most. You don't have to use drugs to suppress your appetite. Using low salt food may be the simplest weight loss solution. American foods taste just too good. That is one of the reasons why people tend to eat more than what they need. Eat responsibly because overeating calories can be your biggest enemy for your health....
