Would you believe that Sun Bathing & Smoking have so much in common, that they seem to be the same!
Both cause cancer, both cause wrinkles & they both become an addiction!
Ultra violet rays from the sun cause your brain to release the same chemicals released when you take in nicotine.
This addiction is called "tanning dependency" & it's when a tanners miss work, dates, or school to hit the beach or the salon for that matter, & "need" to spend more and more time in the sun!
To cut back on sun bathing the best strategies might be the same as the stop-smoking strategies!
Be careful & always have balance when it comes to the sun.

A question always asked: Which is better & healthier, butter or margarine?
Butter & Margarine are fat & anything more than the moderate is bad!
But does margarine really have less fat saturated fat than butter?
Margarine, which is a cheap alternative to butter, contains an evil fat called Trans fat, which is better known as the artery clogger! Whereas butter doesn't contain anything except the ordinary fat!
In recent research, it turns out that margarine can also increase the risk of asthma in adults. Not only that, but eating too much margarine can boost inflammation throughout the body!
So, stay friends with your regular butter, don't eat too much of it & you'll be safe!
Or better yet, substitute butter with olive oil!

Artichokes might look prickly & unfriendly, but they hide a lot of nutrients in that big heart!
Artichokes are full of folate, or better known as Folic Acid, which is a super nutrient that protects your pancreas, and is the essential nutrient for pregnant women.
Cook up a fresh whole artichoke to get 61 delicious micrograms of folate. Or save time with a jar of prepackaged hearts -- 43 micrograms per half-cup.

Loud & annoying noises may be bad for your ears, but get this, they are also bad for your heart!
Being exposed to screaming children, honking cars & the construction site next door can make stress levels so high and heart health so low!
If you live or work down-town, it would be a good idea to take some quiet time for yourself every day; take a warm bath, a long walk in nature, walk the dog, or sit in a calm room & read your favorite book.
As for how loud is too loud, here are a bit of numbers:
70 or 80 decibels, like a vacuum cleaner, can damage your hearing! Less than that can cause cardiac stress!
So be careful, and enjoy any tranquil time you find!

Always look on the bright side and try to be the biggest optimist you can.
An optimistic attitude can help you avoid illness, believe it or not!
Thinking positively about everything can help keep you feeling strong and steady through-out your life.
If you have the flu, try to be funny and think positively about the 3 days you're taking off, try to get the best out of these days and you will definitely feel better faster and will be back on your feet in no time and with a big smile on your face as well.
Never feel that you're smiling too much, or that you're being too positive about anything! That's the way everyone should go through life!

We all know about the female contraceptive pill, but now scientists claim to have developed a male contraceptive that not only offers 100 per cent protection, but also has no side effects.
The pill contains a synthetic form of the female hormone progestogen, as well as a separate dose of the male hormone testosterone, & it is the progestogen shuts down the production of sperm. Now, because each sperm has a life span of 70 days from production, the treatment must be taken for three months before it will be effective.
