You know what, sometimes there’s a shortcut way for you to add more “value’ to your life.
read this article and I’m sure you will know what I’m talkin’ about.
People who adopt four healthy behaviors — not smoking, taking exercise, moderate alcohol intake, and eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day — live on average an additional 14 years of life compared with people who adopt none of these behaviors, according to a study published in the open access journal PLoS Medicine.
Rather than focusing on how an individual factor is related to health, the study calculated the combined impact of these four simply-defined forms of behavior. The results suggest that several small changes in lifestyle could have a marked impact on the health of populations.
Between 1993 and 1997, 20,000 men and women from Norfolk, United Kingdom, between the ages of 45 and 79, none of whom had known cancer or heart or circulatory disease, completed a questionnaire that resulted in a score between 0 and 4.
A point was awarded for each of the following: not currently smoking, not being physically inactive (physical inactivity was defined as having a sedentary job and not doing any recreational exercise), a moderate alcohol intake of one to 14 units a week (a unit is half a pint of beer or a glass of wine), and a blood vitamin C level consistent with eating five servings of fruits or vegetables a day. Deaths among the participants were recorded until 2006.
After factoring in age, the results showed that over an average period of 11 years people with a score of 0 — those who did not undertake any of these healthy forms of behavior — were four times more likely to have died than those who had scored 4 in the questionnaire. [source]

Are you wearing an eyeglass like me?
Well if you do, then I think we both can get a benefit from this entry because I just found a very good site that provide many types of contact lenses at a great price. Maybe you already know about this site but for those who are still searching for a contact lens online, just keep reading.
As we know, Contact Lenses are very popular, both for cosmetic and medical reasons. Even it became more popular lately, we also should know that contact lenses also have it’s own type. Means that if we want to look for a contact lense, make sure we get the right one for our eyes and what type of lenses that suitable. When eyes become dry, they can be irritable, bloodshot and in severe cases, vision can become impaired.
You will need to remember that when you buy your contact lenses online, you will need a copy of your contact prescription that your doctor took, as well as the measurements for your eyes. That’s why we must find a right site that can provide many useful info so that we will not face a problem once we use the contact lenses. Not only that, it is always better to compare prices and types of contact lenses between different stores before deciding on the right contact lenses for you.
Anyway, always remember that whenever you go for buying a lens, whether through a retail shop or through the Internet, having a prescription of a qualified eye doctor is always better.

Sanofi Pasteur, Canada’s largest vaccination company announced yesterday the launch of the new whooping cough immunization vaccine for workplace and home protection. The vaccine is called Adacel and is goes out to general use in May. This vaccination extends and goes alongside with their newest workplace flu shot called Workplace Flu and will provide guaranteed protection to Canadians during their cold and frosty northern winters.
Last year, Sanofi Pasteur also brought something new to the table by shaking the pharma market with innovative BCG cancer treatment medicines and handy “Delhi Belly” remedies, this way extending its line of previously purely vaccination products targeted against dozens of preventable diseases such as diphtheria, polio, meningitis, tetanus, influenza, acellular Pertussis and more.
Sanofi Pasteur was originally founded as the preventable diseases vaccines business of the Sanofi-Aventis Group, the third largest pharmaceutical company in the world.
