Sunscreen time, however they're not all the same. Read on.
...As with all cosmetics, sunscreens do have expiration dates. Please check to make sure that your sunscreen is still good from last year before you just start applying it. Our skin is the largest organ of the body, and it breaths in, communicates with, and absorbs whatever we put on it...
Not so surprising that breastfeeding might have other unexpected benefits like reduced occurrence of breast cancer...
...The researchers showed a “30 percent overall decreased risk of breast cancer coming back and a 28 percent decreased risk of dying from the cancer.” This is a great positive for breastfeeding to go along with all the benefits that the baby gets from the breast milk...
Watch this great video by Dr. Mike Evans about the PSA test.
...The one thing that has always stuck in my head when it comes to the PSA is that if you do the digital rectal exam (DRE) before you do the testing you can have higher levels just because you palpated the prostate...
Need to sell your bad food, and wasteful products? Use Television. Problem solved.
...However, we recently started watching a new TV show online, but from a free service, that contains commercials, and I was amazed by the advertisements. Perhaps I had forgotten how bad they are, or just about them in general. These ads were for crappy food, drugs, and even toxic cleaning supplies...

Make time for that little adventure.
...The trip was a nice break for my colleague and I to connect, laugh, and make the most out of the weekend. Thanks to my new flat friend for reminding me to look at life as an adventure, and make sure that even the small things in life can be seen as an adventure. Simply changing our outlook can have an influence on how we, and our bodies, perceive things...
A new study links breastfeeding with IQ, and income, later in life.
...These studies are harder to do in more developed countries where higher socioeconomic groups are more apt to breastfeed. In Brazil, by contrast, the proportion of mothers breastfeeding is about equal throughout all of the socioeconomic groups...
Sleep… Some nights it's easy to come by, and others, well, its not so easy.
...TV, and electronic device use all emit light which will inhibit the production of melatonin. Melatonin is only produced when it is dark around us which is a good thing because if we were producing melatonin all day long then we we would want to sleep all day. In addition, If you are in an emotional state because of an argument, or something else, this will make it difficult to wind down, and to be able to get restful sleep as a result...
Spring cleaning comes in many forms so don't just assume that your home is the only thing that needs it.
...Spring clean the house, the mind, the body, and the soul. I know in the past I have talked about meditation as a great way of renewing the body, but often my patients tell me they cannot meditate. They say that they cannot find the quiet time necessary, or that they don’t know how to shut down the brain getting to the calm, and quiet mind. Well, I came across this wonderful video about another way to meditate...
