DID YOU KNOW?
- Did you know that the average person gains one to
two pounds a year? Consuming just 100 fewer calories
each day is enough to avert that weight gain.
- Certain people are more sensitive to certain allergens
than others. The major distinguishing factor appears
to be heredity. For some time, it has been known that
allergic conditions tend to cluster in families. Your
own risk of developing allergies is related to your
parents' allergy history. If neither parent is allergic,
the chance that you will have allergies is about 15%.
If one parent is allergic, your risk increases to 30%
and if both are allergic, your risk is greater than
60%.
- A common misperception is that colds are associated
with winter weather. But research shows that people
actually get more colds during the spring and summer
months.
