Our bodies are in a “can’t live with you, can’t live without you” relationship with the sun. Too much sun can fatally damage our skin, causing skin cancer, hence the “can’t live with you” part. Meanwhile, all organisms need the sun to live. Humans need the sun for oxygen, which is a result of plants going through a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that turns carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen, using sunlight. The plants need glucose for energy, while humans need oxygen to breathe. Additionally, natural sunlight helps our bodies create vitamin D and destroy our bodies’ reserves of folic acid. We need a sufficient amount of vitamin D to live but we also need folic acid as well. Vitamin D, needed to ensure and …show more content…
The “silent killer” is high blood pressure, or hypertension, a disease that’s responsible for as much as 25 percent of end stage kidney failure, and has no noticeable symptoms. Too much salt can raise one’s blood pressure. African Americans’ blood pressure is very reactive to salt because their African ancestors weren't fed or given much water, if any, to drink when they were taken to America against their will by slave traders. This resulted in a very high death rate on the ships, so those who had a natural propensity to retain high levels of salt, maintaining enough water to avoid deadly dehydration, had a better chance to survive. This ability, along with a modern salt-filled diet, leads to increased rates of hypertension.
16. Fast metabolizers can detoxify harmful substances more successfully than slow metabolizers. In a very toxic environment, evolution favored these toxin-clearing genes. If one is a CYP2D6 fast metabolizer and was prescribed medicine, such as cough syrup, that had codeine in it, they could become seriously ill because their bodies would’ve converted that codeine into morphine very quickly. This could be prevented with the knowledge of their genes.

According to the FBI 11.5% of murderer by relationship to victim is a stranger, but that is not the case for the murder of Max Powers. Since Ray in fact did know Max. In The Disappearance of Max Powers mystery, one rich millionaire Max Powers treated his friends to a private get together, only to be killed hours later.

One of the first means of profiling a mass murderer is by their type. Mass murders can range anywhere in the organized or unorganized type. Typically, an organized mass murderer carefully plans out much of the crime he is about to commit. A disciple killer is an example of an organized mass murderer. They are usually followers of a charismatic leader, who influences them into killing any victim he directs them to. One disciple killer case would be that of Leslie Van Houton, a 16 year old girl who was persuaded by Charles Manson to murder for him. Another type of organized mass murderer would be known as the pseudo commando. This type of mass murderer stockpiles exotic weapons in their home and often wears battle fatigues. Pseudo commandos

Even though basking in the sun on a beach may seem fun and enjoyable, the excessive exposure to the sun can change the texture and look of the skin, resulting in skin damage. Cataracts, which are also caused by increased UV exposure, can cause an individual to lose their sight, if not treated. Increased heat can also cause dehydration.

The thoughts running through the killer and victims heads, are unrevealed. The gruesome facts, are stomach turning. The way the killers or survivors describe what happened, would make you very paranoid. Don’t say it wouldn’t ever happen in your home- town. Because it has, it has happened right here in Arkansas.

The sun is an amazing creation, it gives off vitamin C while making people feel warm and happy. In addition to trying to achieve that beautiful tan there are many reasons why people love to bath in the sun but plenty more reasons on why people should protect themselves from the sun. Overexposure to the sun could cause severe permanent damage to the skin, including premature aging and the worst of all skin cancer. The sun releases UV rays (ultraviolet radiation) which damages DNA and disables protective tumor suppressor genes in the epidermal cells, causing the skin cells to rapidly multiply forming tumors.
