One Sexy Frappuccino |
|
|
|
 Believe it or not Starbucks is more than a place to pick up chicks
or bang out your latest manuscript on your Macbook Pro. Aside from
their great hospitality you can actually get a great cup of coffee
there too.
If you didn’t already know, Starbucks has a rep for catering to the
coffee fetishes of the most discerning coffee drinkers but now they’ve
taken it to another level with their new However You Want it
Frappuccino®.
Just
in time for summer you can get the cool refreshment of your favorite
caffeinated beverage with as many additional ingredients, toppings and
calories as you want or if you’re trying to keep it sexy you can opt
for a lighter beverage with soy or non fat milk. The light option will
save you at least 33% fewer calories and for those of you doing the “3
Frapp. a-day routine” all those calories could add up.
For
example, a Tall Mocha Light Frappuccino® Blended Beverage (no whip) is
just 100 calories, compared to a Tall Mocha Frappuccino® (no whip) at
200 calories. You do the math, If you’re drinking drinking 3 a-day,
going light could save you 300 calories! In general, killing the
whipped cream saves a ton of calories but if you just have to have it,
ask for half. For more flavor you can always increase your coffee
intensity without increasing calories; just ask for a more coffee. With However You Want it you can really have that caramel soy double
Frappuccino half whip® exactly the way you want. Now thats one sexy Frappuccino®.

Saving Face: Skin Care for Black Men |
|
|
|
If
you think you don't have to worry about protecting yourself from the
sun because you've got a little bit of melanin in your skin think
again. In fact, not only do you need to start wearing sunscreen, you
may need to change your skin care routine all together. Black men often have to deal with razor bumps and other inflammatory skin conditions that are brought on by same melanin that serves as a UV protectant from the sun.
Dr. Andrew Alexis, MD, MPH, FAAD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and staff member at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, both in New York, says. "Although people of color have more natural protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation due to the increased amount of melanin in their skin, the cells that make melanin pigment tend to be more reactive to inflammation and injury, and therefore pigmentation problems are more common in skin of color," said Dr. Alexis. "These natural genetic factors, coupled with cultural differences in their skin and hair care practices, can result in differences in the appearance of common dermatologic conditions and the frequency in which they can occur."

 CSI: New York actor and all-around wonderful guy, Hill Harper
has joined forces with the American Society for Gastrointestinal

encouraging African-Americans to undergo screening for colon cancer.

viewers to help catch a killer: colon cancer. Harper learned from his
parents, both doctors with a strong commitment to improving the health
of their community, about the importance of public health. Colon cancer kills nearly 50,000 people each year, with a
disproportionate frequency in the African-American community. Many of
those deaths could be prevented with earlier detection.
