Yes. The old cliché, "you are what you eat," is true. Research reveals that people with a healthy diet have fewer wrinkles and healthier looking skin. On the other hand, a poor diet, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep and poor skin care can add years to your appearance. Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne studied 453 elderly subjects living in Australia, Greece and Sweden, including both light-skinned and dark-skinned people. The subjects' diets were evaluated for nutrient content, and their skin was assessed for wrinkling.

What You Should Know
Significant harm from climate change is already occurring, and further damages are a certainty. The challenge now is to keep climate change from becoming a catastrophe.
The oil, gas, coal, and mining industries stand to lose tremendously if the facts and truth about global warming becomes accepted by world's society.
Transport is considered as one of the the largest sources of air pollution emissions today.
Coastal temperate rainforests once covered 1% of the Earth. Less then half now remains.
Global climate change, driven largely by the combustion of fossil fuels and by deforestation, is a growing threat to human well-being in developing and industrialized nations alike.
Out of the original 1.9 million acres of redwood forest only 106,000 acres of old-growth forest are standing, less than 5% remain.
It is very important to understand the impacts of 1.5°C global warming above pre-industrial levels and related global emission pathways in the context of strengthening the response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.
Two starkly different futures diverge from this time forward. Society's current path leads to increasingly serious climate-change impacts, including potentially catastrophic changes in climate that will compromise efforts to achieve development objectives where there is poverty and will threaten standards of living where there is affluence.
