5 Things You Didn't Know: Human Hair

Human hair is a simple thing made of keratin and dead skin cells. Its function is to prevent heat loss from a person’s head, yet it also causes women to weep, men to buy Porsches and people to spend billions each year on its upkeep. Throughout history, humans have used their hair to represent their class, indicate religious faith and piss off their parents. Madonna changes her hair to represent each comeback, while Donald Trump represents his wealth with a comb-over made from 40 kt gold. Samson used ... (more)

How to Get Your Medical Insurer to Cover Alternative Medicine Treatments

Although it may seem obvious that acupuncture helps relieve, say, your chronic back pain, insurance companies often consider such therapies—from massage to herbal supplements—outside the medical mainstream. They are, after all, still referred to as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). However, many insurers do cover selected therapies on a case-by-case basis, depending on the way you request reimbursement. (more)

Coke Makes Calorie Information Larger | Coca Cola, Food, Calories | FitSugar - Fitness, Health & Well-being

Will larger labels help offset weight gain? That's what the folks at Coca-Cola are hoping. New Coca-Cola packaging will feature prominent nutritional labels on the front of all its products by the end of 2011. The company hopes that the "at-a-glance" labeling will allow consumers to quickly find important nutritional information while grocery shopping. "One thing nearly everyone agrees on, though, is that balancing calorie intake with regular exercise is the key to weight management," announced Coca-Co... (more)

Cowpooling, or how to save money by buying 700 pounds of meat with your friends

Cowpooling: People looking for humanely raised meat, or just a better-tasting burger, are joining up to buy directly from the ranch. Picture a meat eating, bone sucking, finger-licking carnivore — not exactly the face of an environmentalist, right? But a new crop of meat eaters are greening their eating habits by demanding to know the face of their food in a quest for better quality meat that not only tastes better, but also comes from humanely treated animals.

Powersalt claims to cut sodium in good taste

Norgrow has developed a clean label alternative to standard salt that promises to cut sodium content and enhance flavour. Current daily consumption of salt in the Western world is still well above the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendation of 5 grams per day.

How to Prevent Dry Skin | Health, skin, dry skin

Itchy, flaky, dry skin is a common issue among fit women because they often shower twice a day — once in the morning, and once after a workout. The water washes away the natural oils in your skin that protect it from drying out. On top of that, now that cooler temps are moving in for many of us, we're indulging in longer, hotter showers to warm us up, which dries our skin out even more. If you want to do your largest organ a favor, aim to be under the water for less than 10 minutes, and opt for warm wa... (more)
