Beauty Benefits of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:08:57 +0000

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil has many amazing health benefits. It is a fantastic addition to your diet and can also be used in your beauty/skincare routine. I like to use this as a moisturizer, hair treatment, and as an eye makeup remover.

You can get coconut oil at natural health food/vitamin stores. You can also buy it online. It is available at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com and probably many other places.

There are many websites that review the benefits of incorporating coconut oil into your health/beauty routines. Check out http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/organic-coconut-oil/health-benefits-of-coconut-oil.html

Vigilance and Public Health

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:30:27 +0000

A new report released by the Trust for Americas Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) shows that many public health programs across the nation are at serious risk in the current budget crisis. The report finds that there are serious gaps in the nations ability to protect citizens against health threats. With the current state of the economy, these gaps are only going to get bigger, causing public health programs and jobs to be cut. Further cuts will put more Americans at risk for illnesses and diseases that could be prevented and, in the end, save health care costs.
