It is especially important now with all the doom and gloom on TV working hard to depress us. So here are a few tips to keep the energy high and the positivity flowing. If You Snack, Be Smart About It Eating a small strategically nutrition snack between meals can keep your energy level up while also helping you avoid lows that often come after we eat something with too much sugar, fat, or salt. With most processed snacks, they are designed to give you a “fix”, like a drug. The resulting fall afterwards almost always leads to overeating, and increasing highs and lows in our energy levels.

Too much UV causes damage to the skin DNA which can lead to all kinds of unacceptable outcomes from early wrinkling to sunburn to skin cancer.

The C version usually gets filtered out by the Earth’s atmosphere so we do not normally concern ourselves with it. ![]() According to the American Cancer Society, more than 2 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the United States each year. There are more than 2,000 over-the-counter sunscreen formulas on the market today. How can you tell which sunscreens are the safest, most effective, and represent the best value for your money?

UV-A and UV-B are both responsible for photoaging, skin cancer, sunburn, tanning, and wrinkling.
