Problem: Article: Environmental toxins stress your body and can affect your liver function. They can cause you to gain weight by affecting your endocrine system, which can increase your risk of high GGT. Additionally, toxins can build up in your system and elevate your GGT levels. Minimizing your exposure can keep your GGT levels in check. Here are environmental toxins you should avoid, especially if you already have high GGT levels: Lead Cadmium Dioxide Pesticides, especially those containing organochlorine
Summary: Stay away from environmental toxins, such as lead.

Problem: Article: Facial wipes can be filled with chemicals and preservatives that can be harmful to your skin. When shopping for facial wipes, read through the ingredients and select wipes that do not contain formaldehyde-releasing chemicals. These chemicals, such as 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol, are used to increase the shelf life of the face wipes. Although these chemicals reduce the chance of bacteria build up, they can be damaging to the skin. Formaldehyde-releasing chemicals are a form of carcinogen, or cancer causing agent. Many facial wipes contain alcohol, which can leave your skin feeling tingly and dry. Select facial wipes that are gentle on the skin and alcohol free. This is especially important for people with dry and sensitive skin. For example, try Simple Eye Makeup Remover Pads. These wipes contain no harsh chemicals and are fragrance free. Alternatively you could use Eyeko, eye makeup remover, which uses olive oil to remove eye makeup without drying the skin. Some facial wipes will include fragrances that can also be damaging to your skin and cause your skin to dry out. Choose facial wipes that are fragrance free and gentle on the skin. This will help reduce the chances of skin irritation and dryness.
Summary: Check the ingredients in face wipes. Choose gentle alcohol-free wipes. Avoid facial wipes that contain added fragrances.

Problem: Article: Maintain a running log of notes on your baby's daily diet and the texture, color, and frequency of his or her bowel movements. Armed with this log, you'll be better able to detect abnormal defecation in your baby. Look for correlations between what the baby eats and how it defecates. Reduce the intake of problematic foods. For instance, if your baby's poo is normally brownish-green with a peanut butter-like texture, but then it suddenly turns dark yellow and becomes hard and small, think about dietary changes (including drinks) you might have introduced that could be the cause. Pay attention to the consistency as well as color of bowel movements. If your baby's poo changes dramatically, you should talk to your baby's doctor. Share the information you've kept on your baby's stool with the pediatrician. The more details you provide, the better the doctor will be able to help you determine what's normal for your baby and when treatment may be necessary. If your baby's poo is like hard pebbles, s/he is likely constipated. Constipation -- the inability to pass stool as normal -- could occur when your baby is first introduced to solid foods. It might also mean that your baby has a soy or milk intolerance and could need a different kind of milk or formula. Introduce solid foods and more fluids to the diet slowly and monitor your baby's ability to process them. If he or she shows signs of constipation, reduce solid food intake and add softer food(s) and more fluids to the diet. Sometimes food travels so quickly through the gut that it is not fully broken down. However, this does not indicate that the baby is unwell. Additionally, some foods such as corn are more difficult for the gut to break down. If you see small or occasional chunks of food in your baby's poop, don't fret. If your baby is passing soft or relatively firm stools that are green, yellow, or brown, you have nothing to worry about that. However, if the stool is one of those three normal colors but is excessively runny, it could mean your baby has an infection or allergy. Diarrhea in another color, such as red or black, could indicates blood is present in the stool. Keep your baby hydrated. Give them plenty of fluids while they are experiencing diarrhea. A large amount of yellow diarrhea could indicate the presence of giardia, a parasite.
Summary: Keep a record of how your baby's poop looks. Look out for hard, small poops. Don't worry if you occasionally see bits and pieces of undigested food in the poop. Contact your doctor when you see diarrhea of any color.

Problem: Article: People who live closer to the equator are exposed to more ultra-violet (UV) radiation, so their cells produce more melanin. This excess melanin leads to a darker skin pigmentation that helps the skin protect itself from UV damage. Keeping out of the sun will keep skin from producing extra melanin, which may help the pigment return to a paler state. If your skin is naturally dark, however, staying out of the sun won't do much. Keep out of the sun as much as possible, especially in the late morning and afternoon. If you must be outside while the sun is brightest, try to stick to the shade. Try carrying an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun. A regular black umbrella that's designed to keep you dry in the rain will also block out at least 90 percent of UV rays. Remember that sunlight and UV rays bounce off concrete, water, sand, snow, and other surfaces. Be aware of your environment! Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against UVA (rays that age your skin) and UVB (rays that burn your skin). Find a sunscreen with an SPF (sun-protection factor) between 30 and 50. Any SPF above 50 is not significantly more effective, so don't worry about finding the highest number. You are still exposed to UV rays in winter, even though it's cooler. Wear sunscreen every day of the year, especially if you enjoy winter sports at high elevations. Most summer-weight clothing (e.g. cotton garments) does not provide a measurable amount of sun protection. Look for clothes with a UPF (ultraviolet protection) rating. Choose clothes with long sleeves, long hems, and high collars. Consider wearing sunglasses, gloves, and wide-brimmed hats. The sun is necessary for vitamin D production, but most people don't need more than 20 minutes of uncovered exposure.
Summary:
Avoid UV exposure. Wear sunscreen. Wear protective clothing.
