Gravity and creativity prolong product's life If you took a peek inside my refrigerator, you'd have to stand on your head to read the labels. Food seems to last longer when stored upside-down. Something about the food sealing itself. All I know is it works. I can't remember the last time I had to toss something out because it spoiled. Our first reader tip has the same idea, but for different reasons. Genius. NO-MESS PEANUT BUTTER MIXING. Natural peanut butter separates and must be stirred thor- oughly before the first use. That can make a big mess. To avoid this, I store the jar upside-down so that the oil is at the bottom of the jar. When I stir, the oil doesn't run over. It also ensures that there won't be peanut butter at the bottom of the jar that didn't get thoroughly mixed. -- Jill, Idaho PUT FLEECE SCRAPS TO USE. I have found many uses for fleece fabric scraps. They are the best dust cloths for my wood blinds and my floors. I have an old Swiffer that I never used because I didn't want to purchase the wipes that go with it. Instead, I attach a piece of fleece. It works great for what I need. -- Meg, Minnesota USING THIS FOR THAT. I love it when house- hold items can be used in multiple ways. The sticky labels on my new dishes came off with cooking spray, and the ballpoint ink stains on my kitchen cabinet laminate came off with hand sanitizer. -- Carolyn, Tennessee DINING ROOM TABLE OPTIONS. Instead of looking in fur- niture stores for a dining room table, try checking office supply stores or CraigsList for confer- ence tables. Dining room tables of the size I need- ed ran $1,200 and up, but when I looked for con- ference tables in the same style, I was able to find them for around $300. -- H., email A HOMEMADE SOLUTION FOR DRY HAIR. Add extra shine, volume and strength to your hair with liquid fruit pectin. I add one 3- ounce package of liquid fruit pectin Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate to my shampoo and another three- ounce package to the conditioner. Stir and shake to mix the contents. It's a great way to add volume, bounce and shine, and it's a remedy for split ends. -- Gina, Indi- ana GET RID OF ANTS. I get rid of ants by mixing one tablespoon of boric acid powder and one tea- spoon of sugar. I roll a wet cotton ball in the mixture and place it on a small piece of cardboard. I place this where I think the trail begins (just don't put it on a kitchen workspace). The ants love it and disappear almost immediately. -- Pauline, Oregon LEFTOVER SPECIAL OCCASION CEREAL. I buy cereal whenever my grandkids come for a visit. After they leave, I take what's left and put it through my blender. I put the crumbs in plas- tic bags to use as breading or fillers. You can do the same with crackers of all flavors, chips, pret- zels and other snack foods. -- Donna, email Stay away from tanning booths to avoid cancer DEAR DOC- TOR K: My teenage daughter went to a tanning bed for the first time last year, before her junior prom. What troubles me is that she never stopped going after that. How bad is tan- ning for her health? DEAR READ- ER: There's some- thing about having a tan that makes us feel more attrac- tive, so it's not surprising that tanning salons are pop- ular with teens. helps block UVR. However, a lot of sun exposure can cause DNA dam- age in skin cells, which can lead to cancer. Because the Dr. K by Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. DNA damage takes many years to cause skin can- cer, it rarely affects children. But par- But as healthy as a tan may make you look, it's not healthy. In fact, tanning can be downright dangerous. That's why you should talk to your daughter and urge her to stop now. Tanning is how the body protects itself from sun exposure. Ultraviolet radia- tion (UVR) from the sun causes skin cells to produce more melanin, a pigment that darkens the skin and ents still need to protect their kids, as UVR from the sun or from tanning beds increases the risk of skin cancer in adulthood. Approximately 25 percent of a person's lifetime sun exposure occurs before the age of 18. In fact, tanning beds are worse for your skin than regular exposure to the sun. Tanning beds can have UVR that is 10 to 15 times more powerful than the midday sun. People who frequently go to tanning salons can end up getting up to five times the dose of UVR that people get from normal sun exposure in a year. And all that radiation is added to what they get from normal sun exposure. Sun exposure isn't all bad. It helps our skin make vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and for over- all health. We can also get vitamin D from some foods and from pills. Major studies are under way to determine what is a healthy blood level of vitamin D, and whether pills to boost low blood lev- els have health benefits. Being outside is good for us in other ways besides increasing our vit- amin D. There are more opportunities for vigorous exercise outdoors than indoors. Just cover up. I was raised in sunny Southern California and probably spent more than half of my weekends on the beach. In those days, we didn't know there was any downside to sun expo- sure, except a sunburn. I probably got 50 percent of my lifetime sun exposure before I was 18. The price I've paid as an adult is multiple skin cancers. For- tunately, I caught all of them early. So don't let your daughter go to a tanning salon regularly, and explain why. If she really wants a tanned look, sug- gest using artificial tan- ners. Spray tans and sun- less tanning lotions turn the skin darker (but don't protect against UVR). But if prom night is a few days away, and she's still not happy with what she sees in the mirror, a single visit to the tanning salon is not the end of the world.
