Fat Loss Facts The plan, created by Dr. Charles Livingston, is not a diet but a healthy weight lifestyle that’s a lot easier to stick to than you may think. There’s a very high success rate and you lose the weight incredibly fast. There’s even a money-back guarantee. Called the Fat Loss Factor, it offers seven ways to burn fat, fast: 1. Police your kitchen. Get rid of every- thing that’s loaded with sugar and you’ll avoid a lot of the pitfalls that keep many people from achieving their goals. 2. Cut out that low-intensity cardio. End your useless routines and move toward some bursts of intense training followed by recovery paces to boost the rate at which your body burns fat. 3. Equip yourself at home to do some exercise. Get a balance ball, a weight bench and some dumbbells so you can do some work while you’re away from the gym.

Be careful about your eating. Schedule your grocery trips, and plan what you’re going to eat and when. Then be very selective at the store to get the most natural, nutritious foods you can. 5.

However, according to the International Window Film Association (IWFA), the harmful UV rays that people are concerned about while outdoors can also penetrate into homes, with the possibility of causing damage. Typical windows block as little as 25 percent of UV rays which, if left unchecked, can cause extensive damage to the skin, including premature aging, wrinkles and even skin cancer. Additionally, the UV rays may accelerate the fading of furniture, flooring and other décor. Fortunately, professionally installed window film may act as a powerful defense against these problems, by blocking up to 99 percent of the UV rays. Installing window film can also have a positive affect on en- ergy costs, because it can help regulate room temperatures, thus lowering energy bills during warm and, in some cases, even cold weather. “Thousands of highly-trained dealers and installers across the United States stand ready to help consumers achieve a Rapid Fuel Oil Competitive Pricing & Reliable Service Quality Oil at Discount Prices Rapid Fuel Oil Residential Commercial 570-629-9555 • 610-437-2000 safer, more comfortable and energy efficient home,” said Darrell Smith, Executive Director of the IWFA.

FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, March 25, 2016 Page 17 The bad news is, covered gutters are breeding grounds for mosquitoes and for nesting bees, wasps, even small rodents.

Many of this year’s most popular smart products, such as streaming video cameras and smoke detectors, offer awareness of what’s happening at home.
