Question 1

best way to store celery to preserve its nutrition?

Accepted Answer

Refrigerator: Celery tastes good to many and is a crunchy addition to many prepared foods like potato salad and tuna salad.  Celery is usually kept in the refrigerator drawer to preserve its character.  Celery however, has little nutritional value.  Jokingly it is said that eating a stalk of celery is minus 3 calories due to the energy consumed in chewing it. It has no vitamins, minerals or other nutrients.

Question 9

what is the active element in sunscreen?

Accepted Answer

Sunscreen: Sunscreens work via 2 possible ways: 1) chemical blocks that breakdown the uv rays as they pass through the skin and 2) physical blocks that prevent the uv rays from getting to the skin. I recommend the physical blocks (zinc and titanium) because they have a very good safety profile and work very effectively. If you are going to be in the sun - use a minimum of SPF 15 - follow product directions.
