While testing mice at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, researchers found that women may have more natural antioxidant protection in their skin than men, and that’s one of the key reasons for the disparity.

Secondly, the study also discovered that UVB exposure spurred a unique inflammatory white blood cell called myeloid-derived suppressor cells to travel from the bone marrow to the exposed skin.

So there was a higher population of these cells moving to the skin in males compared to females, and the general theory is that these cells can lead to the creation of skin cancer and other tumors. In any case, you might want to avoid the UV rays as much as possible, so opt for Jwoww’s bronzer instead of the tanning bed. It’s a good thing that tanning is a far bigger priority for women than it is for men.

I have already listed several ways in order to keep my body from becoming fat this season. First I will go to the gym tomorrow. Biking is one of my favorite activities in the gym since it can make me sweat a manifestation that I am burning fats. It also serves as my cardio exercise, which is vital for my blood circulation. Getting into shape is also my goal when I am on the gym so weight lifting will be a big help in attaining sculpted arms.

Another way of burning these fats in my body is by taking food supplement which aims to catabolize excess fats in the body. I would use those that are made from natural ingredients like those plant base supplements. I would also have to consult my physician first before taking the supplement to make sure that it is safe for me.

So there those are my plans to burn my fats away I just hope I can really accomplish them.

Berries:

Blueberries and strawberries have distinct flavor that can be soaked up by water. All you have to do is cut or crush a few of the berries into your water so you can have that berry flavored drink.

Salt:

One important benefit of salt to the body is that it has electrolytes, these are ions which helps in the absorption of liquid in the body quickly. Thus, adding a little bit of salt in the drinking water helps rehydrate the body. This is very beneficial to people to do workouts because they tend to lose water more.

Wine:

Plum wine or Umeshu is a Japanese liquor made from Japanese apricot. Since umeshu is sweet, you can drink it with a lot of water. The sweet flavor still comes through when there is one part umeshu to ten parts water.

Herbs:

Mint, lemongrass and parsley are great for adding aroma and hint of green to water. If you want to release the flavor, you can crush the plants a little before putting them into your water.

These are just a few of the many possibilities in making flavored water. There are other ingredients out there that can be more fun and exciting. So try experimenting; quench your thirsts with flavored water.

The journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence is set to publish a study that showed people who had never adopted the habit scored 37% better on a cognitive test than smokers. Those who had quit smoking for at least two and a half years fared 25% better than those still puffing. We’ve known that smoking effects retrospective memory, but this study reveals that smoking undermines your prospective memory, which is what you need to remember to carry out activities such as putting the toilet seat down, buying her flowers on her birthday and remembering to call on your anniversary.

Unsurprisingly, Apple topped the charts here with 89% retention rate. That’s impressively high, but it’s a bit down from what it was a year and a half ago – Apple used to have a whopping 95% retention rate in 2010.

Retention rates are down all around, say UBS. HTC managed to sneak into second place with 39% after RIM fell to 33% (half of what it was 1.5 years ago). Samsung and Motorola come in fourth and fifth with 28% and 25% respectively, followed by Nokia with 22%.

The N9 will be available in 16 and 64GB versions, so the 16GB unit is the only option in left in Finland. Whatever stock Nokia is preparing for its Flagship Store in Helsinki, it seems it won’t be enough, because all the available pre-order units will be reserved very soon.

It’s really nice to see the N9 has generated such interest – something the company has had trouble with for quite some time. Let’s hope Nokia will do well on the MeeGo support too, otherwise it will be hard to trust it that much again in the future.

A common belief is that by taking creatine, you’re going to instantly begin putting on pounds of lean muscle mass. Unfortunately this is entirely incorrect. While creatine can help you build muscle, it’s going to do so by providing the precursor for the high-energy molecule that fuels muscular contractions. Only if you use that added energy to work harder in the gym will you see enhanced muscle growth and development.

Those who simply take creatine and make no changes whatsoever to their program will not get the results they’re looking for.

Casein powder is your best choice before bed

Another common supplement lie that you might be falling for is that casein is always best taken before bed. Night after night you down your shake, thinking you’re giving your muscles the best protein source available. While it is true that casein is the slowest form of digestible protein, it’s important to realize this supplement fact: Even better than protein powder is a form of casein that comes from real food. Try cottage cheese instead. It contains casein protein and will take longer to break down than a liquid form of protein.

Well, the Monza fella has managed to escape RIM once again and it has gone on a vacation in Greece.

BlackBerry 9860 Touch Monza is the GSM version of the identical CDMA smartphone 9850 Touch Monaco. We already met those two several times this year and there is probably no detail that hasn’t been revealed.

Anyway, the BlackBerry OS 7-based Monza is once again in the news smiling from sunny Greece. Here are the pictures:

The Monza/Monaco duo is supposed to pack a 1.2GHz processor, a 3.7-inch WVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording and lots of connectivity goodies. As we mentioned above, both should run on the latest BlackBerry OS 7.

According to the roadmap leaked in January, the phones should become available in Q3 this year.
