Answer to Question 1

1 . Limit cooking meats at high temperatures.
2 . Avoid high-fat foods (whole milk products and meats).
3 . Increase intake of fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, and low-fat milk products.
4 . Choose unprocessed over processed foods by cooking fresh foods from scratch.
5 . Eat at home most of the time and avoid prepackaged and fast foods as much as possible.
6 . Avoid browning because the process of browning sugars and proteins on food surfaces increases the formation of AGEs.

Answer to Question 2

Thirdhand smoke is the nicotine residue that is left behind on furniture, walls, and carpet after a cigarette has been smoked in a room. According to scientists, particulates made up of ozone and nicotine can become airborne a second time and, because they are so small, easily penetrate into the deepest parts of the lung. Over time, they could contribute to breathing problems such as asthma or possibly even cancer.

Thirdhand smoke remains in houses, apartments, and hotel rooms even after smokers move out. The toxins it contains can enter the body by breathing, ingestion, or skin absorption. Among their effects on health are an increased risk of breathing problems and cancer in nonsmokers. The danger may be greatest to infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
