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.

How Does Smoking Affect Your Body?
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), since 2005, smoking rates for adults in the United States has steady declined from 20.9 percent to 16.8 percent in 2014. This decline highlights the progress made in discouraging the habit, but currently, smoking is still prevalent, not only among adults but among adolescents, as well. 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.

Dental Care Tips
Statistics show that a person with a healthy mouth and gums is more likely to have better overall health than a person with even a minor oral problem. Although clinical research on the effects that certain foods have on teeth and gums isn't concrete, one thing is perfectly clear: Plaque is the enemy and the best way to beat it is with thorough brushing and flossing.
