Most people know that sun exposure can be quite detrimental to our skin. However, studies have recently found that sun damage can be reduced and prevented though the utilization of anti-oxidants. What are anti-oxidants? Anti-oxidants are molecules which basically slow the oxidation process. Below, we will be looking at a popular anti-oxidant known as Vitamin E, and how it can prevent/reduce damage from UV rays.
Vitamin E is a key ingredient in many of the creams consumers shop for today. But why is vitamin E utilized so often? Simple, because of it's miraculous abilities.
When researchers examined two groups of people following prolonged sun exposure, those who were sporting a cream that contained vitamin E showed reduced signs of inflammation. Whenever a specific area of skin is inflamed, it typically hints at skin cell damage. Since vitamin E is able to protect skin from sun damage, it can preserve the look of your skin for many years to come.
Although vitamin E does have a good share of capabilities, it does have it's limitations. Since consumers are not fully informed of Vitamin E's capabilities, many scrupulous companies have begun making unsubstantiated claims about a number of their products which contain Vitamin E. Unfortunately, this has driven many to become skeptical about Vitamin E's capabilities.
The bottom line is that vitamin E is a must for anyone who is serious about maintaining beautiful skin. The vitamin will shield your skin against the suns' harmful rays and will slow the onset of aging. If you don't like the idea of applying vitamin E to your skin, you always have the options of taking tablets. Vitamin E tablets should bring about the same effects as vitamin E contained within a lotion and then some. Be sure to talk to a doctor before taking or starting to take vitamin E.
Needless to say, I failed the quiz. I got 8 out of 15 right. That's about 60 percent. An 'F' in almost all 50 states. Even New Jersey. I, Tim Ward, humor columnist and straight male could not distinguish between the gluteus maximus of the male and female gender. I started to wonder: Were some of the butts that I said were female really male? If so, does that mean I find some men's butts attractive? Do I have a male butt fetish that I didn't know about? Do I secretly enjoy slapping guys on the butt after a good sports play? And what about the woman's butts that I classified incorrectly? Has it really been that long since I've seen a bare female behind? Am I forgetting what the female body looks like?

Years later I learned why he won. His father taught him a simple trick that none of us other kids knew. The technique is to tie the items together in an imaginative story. For example, what if you want to remember a list of the following things: Soap, milk, honey, fork, and flowers.
Start a vivid story in your imagination, adding each item to it as you go: At the sink, you reach for the SOAP. The soap dish is full of MILK, so you wash your hands in that. Then you comb HONEY into your hair with a FORK, and finally pick up a bouquet of FLOWERS and smile at the mirror.

Personality Test - Do You Have Saintly Qualities?

Do you have saintly qualities? Are you compassionate? Are you a selfless person? Do you help others even if they don't ask you? Do you ever do anything that can hurt anyone? Can you forgive your worst enemies? What kind of a person are you? How much do you know about your real self and your real attitude? What are your basic values, which will never be compromised by you? These are important questions to be raised by all of us. If at the end of our enquiry, we find that we are no saints, there is no harm. Because that realization will make us do good deeds.
How to find out if you have saintly qualities? Reflect about your actions of the day for five minutes every night. Go back to your meetings, your work and your conversations. Find out if you did something that was without any selfish motive. Find out if you did anything that might be called wrong. Find out if you hurt anyone with your words/ find out if you praised any co-worker? Look at all the good deeds and bad deeds. Keep on increasing your good deeds and reducing your bad deeds. You are not alone. All of us do bad deeds. The important factor is realization. Once you are aware of your deeds, you will automatically do more good and reduce bad, because you are basically a good person. Try some tests and quizzes on the Internet and find out more about your real personality and if you have saintly qualities. Do it for few days, and you will feel good about yourself. That is a big achievement, bigger than any amount of money.
