Americans are still taking too many antibiotics. A report says
one-third of antibiotics use is unnecessary because it won’t help
ailments such as colds, bronchitis, sore throats, and sinus and ear
infections. Misuse has fueled the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
that infect 2 million Americans and kill 23,000 people each year. Source Link
In
this age of Bluetooth-connected smartphones, podcasts and streaming
programs, what do most Americans listen to when they’re driving? The
old-fashioned radio. A survey found that nine out of ten commuters
sometimes listen to AM-FM radio. CDs came in second, followed by digital
files, Internet radio, satellite radio, audio books and podcasts. Source Link
If
getting up on Monday morning is tough, your weekend plans should
include a special Sunday routine. Experts say you can get better sleep
on Sunday night with exercise early in the day and by cutting out
caffeine and nicotine at least six hours before bed. A short afternoon
nap is okay, but end your Sunday with a warm bath or a mug of hot tea to
help you relax. Source Link
