Doctor’s Orders

Many diseases and ailments associated with aging are caused by youth’s lifestyle choices. Smoking, lack of exercise, and unhealthy diet and poor attention to body changes contribute to problems at this stage in life. However, with good eating habits in your younger years, good genes, good medical care and good luck, life beyond 60 will hopefully lead to a more gradual transition to slowing down.

At least, some of us do. If you are one of “us”, the albinic of complexion, the redheads, those who just prefer to stay indoors- then you might want to take matters into your own hands. As the slogan says, “Why guess…. when you can test?”… and the UV Hawk allows you to test the intensity of sunlight and can alert you when those big bad ultraviolet rays get to be too much.
