Is Your Diet a Game or a Platform for Permanent Weight Loss? - Diets these days, they come and go and where they land, nobody knows. Many weight loss programs and diet plans feature a game-like platform. In the beginning, it's really fun answering all the personalized questions, as well as determining which type of diet personality you might be, or which foods best-fit your astrological symbol, or counting the number of times you chew a particular food - but in the end the bottom line is, "Is your diet or weight loss plan more of a game than a healthy mode of weight loss?"

Dangers
of the Sun - Continued
Vitamin D, The Sunshine
Vitamin
Vitamin D: Exposure to the sun provides the body with Vitamin D.
Vitamin D maintains the health and growth of bones
and is vital to metabolic functions that directly affect the heart,
nervous system and eyes. Vitamin D plays a regulatory role in the metabolism of
calcium. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, excess Vitamin D is stored in the
liver.
Vitamin D is commonly referred to as the ‘sunshine
vitamin’. Hence, because it is formed when the ultraviolet rays of the sun hit
the skin, changing a form of cholesterol, which is a precursor of Vitamin D in
the skin, into cholecalciferol (D3, as well as other stronger members of the
Vitamin D group.
Therefore, if you use sunscreens regularly, especially
older and younger children, supplements of Vitamin D may be required. Perhaps
the best supplementary source of Vitamin D is the natural product from fish
liver oil.
Dressing for the Heat
-
Choose light colors. Although dark colors provide more protection
they also draw the heat.
Wear tightly woven clothing; you want to seal out all possible skin
surfaces that the rays will attack.
Don’t forget the hat, a nice wide-brimmed one.
- Choose sunglasses with ultraviolet protective lenses.
Dress your lips with balm; they fry very quickly!
Avoid fragrances. Some can cause photosensitive reactions.
-
Exercise Smart
Apply a waterproof sunscreen, not oil-based.
Dress in light colors. These reflect the heat better than dark
ones.
Adjust slowly to the heat.
Always bring along replenishing fluids.
Wear a hat, apply lip balm and clamp on those shades!
Try to exercise before ten in the morning and before 4 in the afternoon. Better
yet, aim for early morning and cooler evening hours. Not many things can top a
beautiful sunrise or sunset. These are the times of day that the sun shines
best!
