Sunscreen is very important in preventing wrinkles and skin cancer. Summer sun and outdoor events are in season so protect your eyes with sun glasses and your SKIN with SUNSCREEN! Here is an overview:

Many brands of sunscreens are available, containing a variety of ingredients. The active ingredients work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering some or all of the sun's rays. Most sunscreen products contain combinations of ingredients.


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires sunscreen products to carry a sun protection factor (SPF) rating on their labels. This number tells how well the sunscreen protects against burning. The higher the number, the longer a person can stay in the sun without burning.
Sunscreen products are sold as lotions, creams, gels, oils, sprays, sticks, and lip balms, and can be bought without a physician's prescription.



If you are going to be swimming or exerting yourself it is best to get a waterproof or water resistant Sunscreen and apply it more often. Remember to hydrate too. Hotter days are approaching fast and we need to make sure our bodies are prepared and cared for.

Where does our food come from??

After a disturbing documentary describing where our processed food comes from, stems an interesting debate on whether organic food is worth the price after all.

The money spent on pesticide and hormone free foods may in fact be less than the cost of health care that we pay to "fix" the problems all the processed food has caused in the first place. Interesting how this may be the solutions to a good portion of our health care cost issues.

Go to this sight to read an excerpt of the book and go see their new movie Food Inc. It is VERY interesting. Although I may warn you it is not for anyone with a weak stomach!
