Summer is officially here, along with all those outdoor activities and vacation plans. It’s time to remember that we should have a healthy respect for the sun. While sunshine brings some powerful health benefits, overexposure can have potentially dangerous side effects on your skin. Sunscreen can protect your skin against skin cancer and premature aging. Your skin is exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays every time you go outside, even on cloudy days. Here are some healthy reminders:Always avoid sunburn. Repeated sunburns in children and very fair-skinned people can cause melanoma later in life.
1. Always avoid sunburn. Repeated sunburns in children and very fair-skinned people can cause melanoma later in life.
2. Choose sunscreen that has an SPF of 30 or higher, is water resistant, and provides broad-spectrum coverage (which means it protects you from UVA and UVB rays).
3. Apply sunscreen generously before going outdoors. It takes approximately 15 minutes for your skin to absorb the sunscreen and protect you. Reapply at least every 2 hours to remain protected or immediately after swimming or excessively sweating.
4. Apply sunscreen to all bare skin. Remember your neck, face, ears, legs, and the tops of your feet. For lips, apply a lip balm.
If you are going to be out in the sun for a longer period of time, wear a hat to protect your face and light colored clothing that blocks the sun and helps keep you cool.
Independence Day is a day of family celebrations, picnics, barbecues and honoring the tradition of American freedom. Activities associated with this day include watermelon or hotdog eating competitions and sporting events such as baseball, 3-legged races, swimming, and tug-of-war. Many communities finish with a bang in the evening through an extraordinary fireworks display accompanied by patriotic music.
Independence Day is when the people of the United States express and give thanks for the freedom and liberties fought by the first generation of many of today’s Americans. In 1775, people in New England began fighting the British for their independence. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress secretly voted for independence from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was first published 2 days later on July 4, 1776.
