Yes, these products do expire and lose their effectiveness. So, ifyour sunscreen is mors than ayear old, buy a new bottle. Look for products containing SPF 15 or higher, and those coutainingavobenxone (Parsed 1789), which protects against the widest spectrum of ultraviolet A radiation. UVA is most responsible for sun aging nd possibly melanoma. Remember, apply sunscreen a half hour before exposure, and every two ours after that, especially if youre in the water or sweating. You can be too dean - especially when it comes to your teeth. While many people don't brush their teeth long enough or often enough (two minutes, twice a day is recommended) many people are brushing too hard. Dentists say at least 10 of people are too forceful when brushing their teeth, and that often leads to sensitive teeth, receding gums and wear around the roots. A brush that's too hard is often the problem. Though dentists recommend and give awqy brushes, 45 of all brushes sold in the U.S. have medium or firm bristles. So buy a soft brush and use a soft grip, not a fist, when brushing. One hint: when holding your toothbrush, hold your pinky finger out aa though you're sipping tea. Youll notice you use a lot less pressure when you brush this way. You can have your berries and eat them, too. Fresh summer berries are starting to hit the stores and we know they wont be around forever, But it's achially very eay to freeze these fresh fruits so you can enjoy them later. Simply spread your favorite, unwashed (dampness is berries in one layer on a trey and place them in the freezer. a ) When they're hard, pour them into plastic bags or freezer containers. When you're ready to use them, rinse them under cool water, which washes as helps defrost them. Use them for smoothies or add to pancake or muffin batter. And, ed with a little syrup, they make a great waffle topping. You don't need to lose weight to enjoy cholesterol benefits from exercise. A small study of seven overweight men and women found that participants who exercised four times a week for three months lowered their LDL (bad) cholesterol from an average of 122 mg'dL to 104 mg'dL, even though their weight stayed the same. The exercise regimen also improved their HDL (good) cholesterol, and prompted an average four percent drop in bojly fat. So, although your Bade might not show it, exercising is worth the effort.

But the fact is sharks do get cancers, all kinds of them, including lymphoma and kidney cancer. Dozens of brands of shark cartilage supplements are sold as treatments for cancer, arthritis and aging, and can even be found in dog biscuits. But studies show they have no benefit. I dont think there ia any benefit to buying shark cartilage and eating it. any more than 1 think that eating a rabbit will make me run faster, said biologist John Coffey of Johns Hopkins University, A study published in November, 1998 found shark cartilage pills ineffective in 47 patients with advanced breast, lung; colon, and prostate cancers.
