Johnson & Johnson’s consumer division is recalling more than 53 million bottles of over-the-counter products including Tylenol, Motrin and Rolaids after reports of an unusual odor, expanding on an issue that led to a Tylenol recall last year.

The latest voluntary recall, which drew a sharp rebuke from U.S. regulators on Friday, followed consumer reports of “an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor that, in a small number of cases, was associated with temporary and non-serious gastrointestinal events,” the company said. Such events included nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

A lack of physical activity in childhood raises the risk for obesity and the many health problems it can contribute to later in life, including heart disease and diabetes. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that children and teens get at least 60 minutes of physical activity on most, if not all, days.

Water is the most essential nutrient for humans: it accounts for about twothirds of our body weight and is vital for normal cellular functioning. But, for some, drinking the recommended eight glasses of water a day may not be a healthy practice. In a recent study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, those 70 or older who drank less than eight glasses (64 oz.) of water per day showed no signs of dehydration.
