Crude oil and cooking oil: What harm do they do?

We have all heard of the BP oil spill, and know that this crude oil is very harmful. But do we really know the harms? Crude oil is filled with toxic properties, and when these toxins become airborne, they can travel for many miles. These toxins cause problems such as trouble breathing, dizziness, nausea, headaches, and confusion. If people with COPD or asthma even come into brief contact with these toxins, they can cause health problems. There are some potential long-term effects of these toxins, which can include kidney, liver, blood, reproductive, or immune system damage. There are also risks of birth defects and cancer. Oils used for cooking can also cause harm to people. To begin with, vegetable oils can cause your good cholesterol to turn into bad cholesterol. Diseases such as heart diseases and breast cancer are caused by the trans-fats in these oils. Another potential issue that can come from eating these oils is intestinal damage, or the chance of food allergies popping up. Auto immune problems can also show up. The chemicals in vegetable oils can cause infertility or sterility. Children can also develop behavioral problems. Staying away from crude oils, and limiting your intake of vegetable oil will help you stay healthy and live a much better life.

Dark Spots On The Skin

Melanin is what gives our skin color, or pigment. Dark spots on the skin, hyper-pigmentation, is caused by the overproduction of melanin. This condition occurs in all races. Sometimes these are referred to as “age spots” and are typically caused by sun damage which is acquired over a long period of time. The sun is the most common cause of these darkened skin patches. This darkened skin can also be caused by changes in the hormones, which is commonly caused  by pregnancy or birth control pills. There are also disorders which can cause this, such as Addison’s disease. These dark skin spots can also  be caused by a combination of an allergic reaction and sun exposure. These dark spots can sometimes be temporary, such as when taking birth control pills or during pregnancy. This is not a life-threatening condition, but can be the symptom of another disorder that you should get treatment for. If you have these dark spots, and also have symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, or depression, you should see a doctor. If the dark spots are also appearing in your mouth or out mucus membranes, or notice diarrhea or constipation, these symptoms are also serious and require you to see a doctor. There are some ways to help with these areas of the skin, such as medication or lasers.  If you have these dark skin spots and are concerned, you should consult a doctor. These spots can be embarrassing, but usually are not going to harm you. With technology today, you can be helped.

How many calories a woman should take per day?

Caloric intake is a fact of life that many people do not pay attention to. Those who work out or are trying to lost weight usually do count calories and keep a close eye on their intake. There are varying factors to determine how many calories you should intake daily to remain healthy, such as age, weight, and amount of physical activity. On average, a woman needs about 2,000 calories everyday. However, those who work out can intake more, adding around 250 calories a day, as those are burned while exercising. Adding more than this while exercising will counter what you are trying to achieve. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should intake a larger number of calories, closer to 2,200. If you are trying to lose weight or size, eating a lower number of calories is best for you, but no less than 1,200. The reverse is also true: if you are trying to gain weight, your caloric intake should be higher. Your age can vary your caloric intake as well. Typically, younger women, usually more active, require more calories each day to keep healthy, about 2,200. Teenage girls require the most calories daily because of their growing bodies. Active teenagers require 500-600 more calories than the average teenager. Older women, most of whom are less active, require fewer calories each day, around 1,600. These numbers are averages and for the typical person. Always talk to your doctor before starting an exercise plan or diet, and ask him what your caloric intake should be.

Do your lips produce melanin?

Melanin, also known as pigment, is the substance in our bodies that gives color to the skin, eyes, and hair. People with darker skin have much higher amounts of melanin, and those with pale skin have much less. Melanin also helps protect you from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. It is produced in nearly all organs that are vital to our bodies by melanocytes. These metabolize tyrosine, which is an amino acid. These formation sites include the heart, liver, muscles, and arteries. One of the places on your body that you must protect the most, especially from the sun, is the lips. This is because the lips produce no melanin, unlike the rest of the skin on your body. Using a lip balm that has a good sunscreen in it is essential to preventing not only sun burns, but also will protect from sunspots and skin cancer on the lips. The color in the lips instead comes from the blood vessels underneath. These capillaries are close to the skin, giving them their red or pink color. There are certain foods that you can eat to help your melanin levels, but do not forget that the lips must be protected because they produce none.
