Is Bottled Water Safer?

People may say that bottled water is safer and healthier for you but their logic is not true.  Water from the bottles is just as good as the water from tap, clean wise.  Although people buy certain bottled water because of taste or smell- all waters should be just as clean.  The only thing people should worry about is if their water pipes are made of lead, then you might want to check if your water is okay to drink given the chance that lead might have mixed into the water.  Also if your water comes out of wells you should make sure it’s clean enough to drink.  Other than that as of 1974 tap water should be just as safe as bottled water. http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/19/health/upwave-bottled-water/index.html?hpt=he_c1

CVS

Have you ever been on your computer for so long that your eyes start to hurt?  Then you might suffer from CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome).  Studies show that between 50 and 90% of people who work in front of a computer all day suffer eye vision problems, or CVS symptoms.  People who look at the screen too much don’t blink as often and fall below the average of 18 blinks per second.  Symptoms of CVS include sore eyes, dry eyes, teary eyes, blurry vision, double vision, light sensitivity, difficulty focusing on images, neck pain, or a headache.  A method to solve this is to follow the 20-20-20 rule.  20 minutes of looking at the screen= 20 seconds of looking 20 feet away.  Or angling your screen so that your eyes don’t catch the glare of other lights. http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/12/health/upwave-computer-eyes/index.html?hpt=he_c1

Signs of Autism at 1 Month

Researchers have come up with a way to tell if a baby shows autism signs as early as the first month.  They took a group of 110 babies and followed their progress from birth to age 3.  59 of the babies were classified as having a high risk of autism and 51 were classified with a lower risk of autism to further relationships of it in the family.  The researchers showed the baby a video at months 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 24 of actresses playing caregivers.  They kept track of the motion of the babies’ eyes and if the baby lost focus easier it showed sign of autism.  http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/06/study-signs-of-autism-may-show-up-as-early-as-first-month/?hpt=he_c2
