	Did you know? Did you know that if you regularly use sunscreen you are probably not getting enough vitamin D? SPFs 15 or higher cut down the ultraviolet radiation that we need to produce vitamin D by 99.5%. Without enough vitamin D our bones have trouble absorbing the calcium needed to build strong bones. We aren’t advocating you stop using sunscreen, but you should think about other ways to get you necessary vitamin D for the day.



	Myth: The best way to cure a hangover is with coffee and a cold shower. Fact: Neither of these will cure a hangover. A hangover—headache, nausea, malaise—is the body’s natural response to the toxic effects of alcohol and mild withdrawal from heavy consumption. Although there are countless purported hangover remedies, the fact remains that only time will cure a hangover. To be sure you don’t suffer the consequences of a bad hangover, here are some tips for safer drinking. Eat before you drink. Drink plenty of water. Pace your drinking to one or fewer alcoholic beverages an hour. Alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Related resources: Want to find out more?
