The 5 year old wanted to show me how to make a smoothie. 😉 😊 😉 (He's on a cinnamon-on-everything kick right now.) We did good! 👍 I'm so grateful to be able to spend time with them. ♥ Hug them tight! 🤗 #grandmaofboys #gratitude #summerfun https://www.instagram.com/p/CSMzQMXLYGf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sunlight Is Good For You!

July 3, 2008

Yes, you read that correctly.  We have heard so much hype for the last decade or two about how horrendous sunlight is for us.  We are made to think that the Sun is enemy number one!

We wouldn’t be here without the sun!  There would be no life on this planet.

Although burning is never good for your skin, 20 minutes of sunlight a day can benefit your health in many ways:

Our bodies produce Vitamin D in response to sunlight.

Vitamin D is crucial for our bodies to operate optimally.

A recent study found that men who are deficient in vitamin D, have more than double the normal risk of suffering a heart attack.

Another study found that low levels of vitamin D increased the risk of diabetes.

And yet another study linked vitamin D deficiencies to an increased risk of dying from breast cancer.

Natural is always better than artificial.  Supplements are available but are never as good as the real thing.

Get some sun this weekend, but keep an eye on the clock and don’t overdo it!

Rejuvenate Your Skin! One Way To Keep From Getting Skin Cancer

June 23, 2008

Did you know that many studies show that tea-drinking mice have fewer skin cancers. Even rubbing tea extract on their skin keeps cancers away. Green and black tea appear equally effective, and caffeine may help, too. In one study decaf tea was less effective than caffeinated tea in mice.

Rejuvenate Your Skin!!! Bad Free Radicals! Good Antioxidants!!!

June 18, 2008

Rejuvenate your skin with antioxidants!  Antioxidants serve as a skin barrier to prevent free radicals from penetrating the living dermal layer. The highest concentration of antioxidants in the body is found in the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis. As we age, the concentration of antioxidants in the epidermis starts decreasing considerably. This is one reason that skin starts showing signs of damage.

To keep the immune system and other systems healthy and to avoid damage by free radicals, antioxidants can be taken orally. While it is good for the overall functioning of the body, skin does not benefit much from it, as only about 1% of ingested antioxidants reach the skin.

Topical application of antioxidants can produce an effective barrier against free radicals. The topical application of antioxidants neutralizes free radicals and prevents UV destruction of cells. A drawback of topically applied antioxidants is they become depleted with decreasing concentration, so daily application is needed to keep their level maximized.
