Tips To Keep Hair Looked Younger

1. Eat right.

"It may seem unrelated, but what you eat, or don't eat, has a huge impact on the health of your hair, especially as it ages. There are a number of hair super-foods that can nourish your strands and improve your hair's length, shine and thickness, including salmon, which is loaded with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, dark green vegetables for vitamins A and C, and nuts, which are a terrific source of zinc. Protein is also essential for healthy hair."

2. Change your styling habits.

"As the hair ages, women tend to do more styling, which disrupts and damages the cuticle and makes the hair dull and more prone to breakage. Other frequent mistakes include over-washing your hair, which can strip the oils from your hair and contribute to dryness, and overuse of hair extensions which can put traction on the follicles leading to poor hair growth,".

How To Live Longer

What's the key to long life? Is it clean living? Lots of exercise? An abundance of vegetables? Actually, the key to long life may be something a bit more intangible: a sense of purpose.

Researchers studying longevity say those who feel a sense of purpose and direction in life may indeed live longer, no matter what their age.

"Our findings point to the fact that finding a direction for life, and setting overarching goals for what you want to achieve, can help you actually live longer, regardless of when you find your purpose," said lead researcher Patrick Hill of Carleton University in Canada in a written release. "So the earlier someone comes to a direction for life, the earlier these protective effects may be able to occur."

5 Important Lessons From The Biggest E-Cigarette Study

1. Some youth have their first taste of nicotine via e-cigarettes. Twenty percent of middle schoolers and 7.2 percent of high schooler e-cigarette users in the U.S. report never smoking cigarettes.

2. Nicotine absorption varies too much between brands. Early 2010 studies found that users got much lower levels of nicotine from e-cigarettes than from conventional cigarettes, but more recent studies show that experienced e-cigarette users can draw levels of nicotine from an e-cigarette that are similar to conventional cigarettes. Yet another study noted that the chosen e-cigarettes for the research malfunctioned for a third of participants. UCSF researchers say this indicates the need for stronger product standards and regulations.
