Supervision is vital if children are in contact with such objects. If children swallow an object and have difficulty breathing or swallowing, get them to the nearest emergency room, Primm says. If you think your child has swallowed something, but breathing is unhampered, have him or her checked by a pediatrician. Objects smaller than two centimeters in diameter will usually pass through the child's system in a few days and, in most cases, will not require surgical removal. You've heard about the danger the sun poses to your skin, but prolonged exposure to bright sunlight also can damage your eyes.
Damage is caused by a lifetime of sun exposure.

The sunglasses need to block 99 percent to 100 percent of UVA or UVB rays, which should be indicated on the glasses. Moderate regular exercise is actually more beneficial than a stressful workout. Exercise burns fat, lowers cholesterol, improves the heart's pumping action and widens the arteries, says Meidell. All of this means that you're less likely to have blocked arteries that lead to cardiovascular diseases.
