Best Organic Skincare Products
In Ancient Rome, urine was used as a facial mask because it was rumored to help improve skin. This practice began in Indian culture at least five centuries ago and made its way through the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, the Middle Ages, and even found its way into the baths of 18th century French women. Thankfully, we have come a long way from using pee as an organic skincare product. The products we use today are aimed at reducing wrinkles, as well as softening, moisturizing, and brightening skin, but the best products to use for any type of skin are organic.

What Are the Best Superfoods for Diabetics?
In the 20th and 21st centuries, diabetes has evolved to become one of the most common metabolic diseases. In 2013, more than 382 million people were diagnosed with diabetes and had to undergo major lifestyle changes. Individuals who suffer from diabetes have high blood sugar (glucose). As a result, diabetes sufferers cannot consume certain foods that are high in sugar and can aggravate their metabolic imbalance.

Summer Skincare Tips
Amid plentiful evidence that exposing skin to sun is one of the most aging, health-harming things you can do comes a disturbing thought: Are we creating even more problems by slathering on sunscreens with higher and higher SPFs-18, 25, 40, even 50 and above? What are the pros and cons of sunscreen when we are dealing with summer skincare? Safety questions have been raised over the ingredients in these sunscreens—linking them to everything from rashy reactions to, just possibly, what they're supposed to prevent: skin cancer. On top of that some experts say that many sunscreens give us a false sense of security about being in the sun–actually upping, not decreasing, lifetime exposure to the harmful UVA rays few products block well.

Understanding the Aging Brain
My grandfather, who lived to be ninety-four, always insisted that the secret of a long and lucid life was to keep active, interested, and busy. When he was about 40, he wrote a letter to his local newspaper expressing some trenchant opinions about the current state of the economy. Fifty-four years later, just before he died, he was still sharing his opinion through social media outlets like Facebook about dogs, Notre Dame football, millennials, and all the myriad other subjects that caught his far-ranging attention. He may have been ninety-four, but his mind had remained supple and young.

Healthy Breathing Exercises
A single wailing breath hails our arrival into the world, just as a single silent one marks our departure from it. Between these all-encompassing two lie hundreds of millions of breaths that matter plenty. How we breathe has a lot to do with how healthy we are. And it may even be that by breathing correctly, as nature intended, we buy a little extra time. Yet about 30 percent of us don’t do it right. Maura Rhodes, well-known health journalist, explored the concept of healthy breathing, amid many others, throughout her career. In a 1989 article for Longevity magazine, Rhodes focused in on stressors that cause irregular breathing, and healthy breathing exercises to reduce such stressors.

History of Sunscreen
The sun rises and sets every day, which serves as an important constant in our lives. Some of us like to hide from the strong rays in the sky. The fair-skinned among us have been burned too many times. And then there are those of us who worship the sun. We can’t get enough of our time baking outside during the summer. The darker the tan, the better we think we look. A tan is the sign of a productive vacation, unemployment, or both. When we are innocent youths, we think the sun is our friend. We frolic in it, we breathe it in, and relish in its warmth without consequence. It isn’t until the supple, smooth skin of once upon a time becomes the haggard, dry, and wrinkled mess of times gone by. Protection from the sun's harmful rays is important in preventing cancer and preserving a youthful appearance. Skin cancer is one of the few preventable forms of the disease, so the American Cancer Society urges the public to use sunscreen. Throughout the history of sunscreen, cosmetic companies have learned to integrate sun protection within your daily moisturizers and makeup, allowing for convenient and lightweight protection.

The CDC further cited that in 2014, 12.7 percent of high school students and 3.1 percent of students in middle school were cigarette smokers.
