Remember that a deep brown tan means that the skin is putting up a defence against the harmful radiation of the sun. We've said this before: A healthy tan is an oxymoron. You can prevent premature aging and skin cancer with sensible sun exposure. A new birth control pill will be available sometime this year. It's a low-dose formula that will be taken once daily every day. The supposed advantages are suppressed menstrual cycles, reduced premenstrual symptoms and reduced mood swings. This new product will help stabilize hormone levels through the month. Speaking of birth control pills, if you are travelling to a vastly different time zone (like New Zealand), be sure to keep taking your pill every 24 hours. For example if you take it at 9 a.m. at home, continue taking it in New Zealand ata time equivalent to 9 a.m. at home. It could be bedtime. Adhering to the same schedule will prevent an unplanned pregnancy. "Non-compliance" means not taking your medication the way it was prescribed. It could mean taking the wrong doses or even simply forgetting to take the medication. A marketing firm in the U.S. has pegged the cost of this problem as $100 billion US per year due to hospitalization, complications and disability. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
