25、the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure So despite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didnt have breakfast increased by 33%from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chica

26、go-based Market Research Corporation of America.

Going without breakfast doesnot affect work,said A

27、rnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, nor does giving people breakfast improve work.

34、素). It is melanin that gives the skin its brown colour. Bergasol enables you to gobrown faster,am as the days pass the difference will become more obvious.Unfortunately, this special formulation isnt Cheap to prepare.So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil.

35、looks more attractive as you do.BergasoiIt makes you go brown fasterProtection Many people imagine that cover-up means you dont get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday.Not so.
