Hot Tips For Good Health
A few health tips for you to ponder. Pretty weird stuff: Snack tips for dieters: Two tablespoons of peanut butter have 190 calories, 80% of which is fat. Two filled cholcolate cookies have 106 calories, of which 37% is due to fat. When it comes to salty snacks, just one ounce of potato chips contains 166 calories and 66% fat. An ounce of pretzels has fewer 100 calories, and only 7% fat. Popcorn is a puzzler, because it varies so much: three cups of microwave popcorn contain 145 calories, 45% of which come from fat . . . but the same amount of regular, unbuttered popcorn has only 68 calories and a tiny 9% of fat. (Three cups is a lot of popcorn, too!) If you're considering having your hair analyzed in order to check your health or nutrition level, you should know that the California Dept. of Health, the State University of New York, and the federal Center for Disease Control got together last winter and looked into that process - and now they're taking a long look at its practitioners. They sent identical hair samples to 6 major laboratories, and can you guess the results? Yes, each lab came up with a vastly different analysis of those identical samples. Hmmmmm. (The AMA Journal suggests that hair analysis is reliable only when testing for arsenic poisoning.) Oops, dermatologists are casting doubt on whether sunscreen offers complete skin protection. Fair-skinned people should be especially careful to avoid spending too much time in the sun. Even so, Roger Ceilley, the president of the American Academy of Dermatology, says sunscreen is still an important part of sun safety. And he adds, "I wear it every day, year round, and I suggest my patients do the same thing." Pretty strange stuff huh? A healthy dose of hot-tips, and that's where we're at. Unless of course you want some MORE HOT TIPS! Yours in Good Health - April May
