3 months, 17 days ago healthnews.com — Everyone knows the importance of exercise in keeping our bodies fit and healthy. There are exercises for the muscles from the neck down, including those which focus on the upper, core, and lower body. We have body specific exercises for body sculpting, aerobic exercises to benefit our heart, yoga and more. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense to have exercises to tone and strengthen the 57 muscles of our face, neck and scalp.

The study may have been small, but it raises important points for people who turn to aromatherapy for help, the scientists say. Users are welcome to take a sniff of whatever scents they choose, but they should regard it as a fun diversion, not a physical cure. read more...

4 months, 14 days ago healthnews.com — Think that bottle of sunscreen is protecting you and your family? You may need to think again, according to tests performed by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). What you don't know can hurt you, as this year alone over one million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, and approximately 8,000 Americans will die from melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
Sunscreens are meant to protect the public from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays. In 1978 the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) announced standards for sunscreens but these standards were never finalized, and thirty years later the sale of sunscreens in the U.S. is still under-regulated. Over a year ago the agency promised to toughen sunscreen standards, but so far they have not. read more...
