  A new study has demonstrated the importance of women’s rights.The researchers behind the study state that many parts of the world have made good economic progress,but women’s rights are often overlooked. (16) Thus,they wanted to determine if there was a link between protection of women’s rights and public health
  The researchers analyzed databases which held information from 162 countries for the period 2004 to 2010.
  Countries were classified according to the respect they gave to women’s economic and social rights.There were three categories.They were high,moderate,and poor.
  Analysis of the data showed that countries with strong women’s rights had better health than those where women’s rights were not as respected.
  The health indicators studied included disease prevention,reproductive health,death rates,and life expectancy.
  Furthermore,in countries where women’s rights were most respected,but where access to hospitals and doctors was below average,health outcomes were still better than in countries rated as moderate or poor.(17) This confirms that even with a lack of resources,if a country has strong women’s rights,the health outcomes are better.
  Thus,the researchers argued that gender equality is not just a women’s rights issue.It is also a development issue.This is because better health aids economic development.(18)They note that the value of women’s right: has often been questioned from an economic standpoint. Some have argued that ensuring those rights woulc limit progress,but this study indicates the opposite.

  When you are lacking water,your mouth becomes dry.Bacteria accumulate because there isn’t enough water in your mouth to wash it away.Sunshine can stop you from sweating,too.The body’s normal temperature is 36 to 37 degrees centigrade.But if it heats up to 40 to 41 degrees,you may find yourself getting heatstroke.At that point,your heat regulatory system can essentially quit,which stops you from sweating as your body tries to keep water around your vital organs.
  (21) However,the sun can have a positive influence on your body by raising your energy levels.You might feel like the sun is giving you extra energy for your day,which is actually happening.
  And vitamin D from sunshine can help your body to absorb certain minerals,which are linked to building stronger bones.Therefore,I suggest you spend more time in the park with your friends,but make sure you apply lots of skin protection and fill up those water bottles,too.
