1. Eggs

2. Meat
Keep the meat in a special container in the refrigerator closed to be used up to 3-4 days. If the new will be processed in a time long enough to freeze the meat in the freezer.

Sun Block, it is Important??

Problem use of sun block is less likely to be ignored by some of us. When doing outdoor activities, we often forget to apply sun block on the affected body sun exposure. This is happening almost every day. In fact, if the situation continues, there are various kinds of diseases can threaten the health of our skin. Just call one of them, skin cancer.Conversely, there is also a supply themselves with various types of sun block, without examining abortion. In fact, 84 percent of 700 brands of sun block circulating in the market was not able to protect the skin from UV ray exposure is optimal. Therefore the findings of the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit foundation that provides information on public health in the United States. Indeed, there are many wrong perceptions about the solar curtain circulating among us. See what the perception is wrong, and find the truth.

Sun block to make the pimple worse. According to Robert A. Weiss, MD, head of the American Society for Dermatology Surgery and Photo aging book author, "Protecting the skin from UV ray exposure can thus reduce the actual pustule emergence in the future. Sun rays can stimulate the oil gland and skin thicken network, which can close the pore-pore. " Therefore, always start the day with applying sun block.

Sweaty skin so easily. "Sweat that appears during exercise, can reduce the effectiveness of sun block protection against our skin," said James Spencer, MD, assistant professor in the field of clinical dermatology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Should, use sun block specially formulated for the sports activities. We can label it the "water resistant" is listed on the packaging. This means that this type of solar curtain can protect the skin during 80 minutes. But, would that if we always do so repeatedly.

Sensitive skin should avoid the sun screen. Some sun block be able to absorb UV rays and can cause irritation on the skin. Therefore, be careful in choosing sun block that can reflect UV rays. Typically, these products contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, because it is safe for sensitive skin. "Use sun block that does not make us completely off from the hot sun. Definitive, solar curtain serves to reduce the possibility of the occurrence of skin disease, such as rosacea," said Weiss.

The higher SPF is, the maximum protection. SPF (sun protection factor) indicates the ability sun block in preventing the occurrence of redness on the skin reaction due to exposure UVB rays (ultra violet B). For example, we will burn the skin after sun exposure is exposed for 10 minutes without sun block. If he uses SPF 15 sun screen, skin will be protected 15 times longer (150 minutes).

However, what this means we need to choose a sun screen with SPF highest degree, so that the maximum protection? Rosemary J. Geary, dermatologist origin Chandler, Arizona, states that the actual difference between the protection of SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 80 and not even the number of digits shown. Most of the medical specialist skin states, SPF 15 is enough to protect our skin. But try to apply the cream evenly on the entire body.

No sun, no need sun screen. Application for sun block, even if the heavens are overcast. Sun block is required, especially when we do outdoor activities and exposed to the sun. When the sun are not visible, sun screen should still applied because UVA rays can penetrate clouds. It is important to know us, do not have any sun block which can provide total protection against the sun. Therefore, the term is now commonly used sunscreen, not Sunblock.

The form of lotion more effective than gel. Effectiveness of each sun block depending on the choice of carrier molecules in the cream is. Form of sun screen are the most commonly used is the lotion or cream. There are also other forms, such as gel or stick. The form of lotion and cream suitable for oily skin tends to be normal, because the light texture, easy to absorb, and not sticky. Solar curtain easily absorb the type of oil, but very thin, so the effect is less secure. Unlike the gel, more of this type of fitting used on oily skin. To protect areas of the body such as lips, ears, nose, and around the eyes, we can use a curtain type of solar stick. Usually, this product is mixed with paraffin (wax) and petrolatum. For hair, use a type of spray, sun screen, because it is easily applied.
