What is a correct way to take medicine? Reading the question you might think it ridiculous．Actually, how to take medicine means a lot．Knowing it will not only help you preserve the full benefit of your valuable medicine, but also save yourself from potential side effects．For many reasons, no prescription or over-the-counter(非处方的)drug is 100 percent effective in all people or situations．To preserve the full benefit of your medicine, experts say to follow these key steps：
Ask doctors for help．Discuss drug effectiveness with a doctor before getting a prescription．The doctor can help you explain effectiveness data in product instructions．You can also consult a chemist when buying over-the-counter medications．
Store drugs properly．For instance, never store aspirin in the bathroom or the refrigerator．That^s because aspirin, like other drugs, can lose effectiveness in damp conditions．Most prescription drugs today come with special storage instructions．Also, some drugs, such as the antibiotic tetracycline, become ineffective when they are exposed to sunlight．
Do you know how long you should use a certain medicine? Our human body is very smart．It doesn't like any foreign chemical．That's why the body builds up tolerance to many drugs, such as some sleeping pills, and pain medications．If a drug that once was effective no longer seems to help you, consult a doctor before you want to increase the amount of it．
Cutting a sustained-release(药效持久的)pill can make a drug ineffective or even dangerous．That's because too large a dose of a medicine will be distributed quickly．Also avoid emptying capsules into drinks, say coca cola, milk, juice or food like porridge and soup．So take the pill in a correct way．
Do you know when to use medicine? You are advised to use medicine at the right time of the day．The instruction of the medicine Renova recommends applying the product at night．The active drug can be destroyed by sunlight．Also, applying two medicines to your skin at the same time might make them both ineffective．Taking drugs at recommended times, such as before meals, can increase absorption．
Some people may store medicine they bought years ago．In actual fact, over time, many drugs experience chemical changes．So pay attention to expiration(截止)dates listed on labels or ask your chemist a drug ^ s shelf life．Don ^ t hesitate to throw old pills if possible．
As you can see, taking medicine correctly is very important for many reasons, so make sure you follow these tips．

As a nation, we’re getting fatter
In Britain, people with a healthy body weight are in the minority．
Nearly two thirds of men(65％)and more than half of women(56％)are either overweight or obese(病态肥胖的)．
Nearly a quarter of men and women(24％)are obese．
The number of overweight and obese people in the UK is increasing．A recent government report showed that if current trends continue, the majority of people in the country will be obese by 2050, including 60％ of men and 40％ of women．
What is a healthy weight?
You can find out whether your weight is within the healthy range by calculating your body mass index or BMI．Check your BMI using our BMI chart．
For many people, it’s just not realistic to aim for a so-called “ideal weight” for your height．Instead of focusing on a target weight, it may be more helpful to work on changing your lifestyle, which can help you reach a healthier weight．
Small changes can have big effects
Most people gain weight throughout their lives, often without realizing it．Very small changes can result in large weight gains over time, For example by simply eating an excess of 50 calories per day – just half a biscuit – you could gain 5 pounds or 2kg over a year．So in 5 years’ time you could be over 25 pounds or 10 kg heavier．
But good news is that small changes of your lifestyle can lead reduction in body weight．This may sound simple, but in reality it takes commitment and effort to change the habits of a lifetime．The day-to-day choices we make about our lifestyle have the greatest effect on our weight．

What is a yawn(哈欠)and why do people yawn?A yawn is often associated with a person being tired． 1 People yawn for many reasons including stress, boredom, emotion and overwork．
Have you noticed that yawning seems to be contagious(会传染的)?If one person yawns, this appears to cause another person to yawn．Researchers have found that 40－60％ of people who see a picture of someone yawning will yawn themselves． 2
Some people think that yawning is rude and suggests that you are bored or uninterested．Maybe a yawn is a signal to a group that it's time to go to sleep, or if someone yawns when they're bored, it may be a sign to change the topic of conversation． 3 Animals of all types yawn．If you have a dog or cat, you've probably seen your pet yawn several times．Even some birds yawn such as cockatiel parrots, Adelie penguins and Emperor penguins．
Some of the scientific explanations of why we yawn claim it is caused by physical needs．One likely explanation is that the yawning reflex happens when our blood needs more oxygen．The deep breath helps supply the levels of oxygen in our blood． 4 It is also thought that the same chemicals in our brain that affect our moods and emotions cause us to yawn．
Superstitions about yawning have been around for hundreds of years and can date back to the ancient Greeks．A common superstition says that a person must cover his or her mouth when yawning so that the soul does not escape through the mouth． 5 Today most people do not believe these superstitions and know that a yawn is a physical reflex．
