Welcome to the category of my blog simply called ‘Healthy Tips.’ Many times, when I write articles for various publications, I need to find sources for the story as seen in Yahoo Shine (click here) or PBS (click here) about staying healthy. I was looking for experts and non-experts to chime in and give their favorite ‘tips’ to help kids and adults lead a healthy lifestyle.

The feedback for various stories was amazing. The sources had some fantastic points of view that could not be ignored, and I thought their opinions should be viewed on the Your Health Journal web site.

So, enjoy my new series, with some ‘great’ insight from some ‘great’ people giving exceptional and educational points of view.

“Part of kicking off your new year with healthy resolutions is by committing to a new skincare routine. An easy way to do that is by bridging healthy sun habits with another popular resolution: exercise. If you’re going to be exercising outdoors, make sure you find a sunscreen that’s right for you. As a marathon runner, I like Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Lotion. It’s sensitive enough for my face, but strong enough to outlast my workout. Incorporating sun protection into your daily routine is a great way to start off the year with a healthier lifestyle and happier skin!”
