It recommends using sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, wearing protective clothing, sunglasses, and seeking shade to stay safe in the sun.
This document discusses sun safety and protection for children. It recommends applying sunscreen that offers UV protection to children before outdoor activities, reapplying every two hours. Children should be covered up with clothing and hats when in the sun, and infants under 6 months should be kept in the shade whenever possible. Being a good role model by practicing sun safety yourself can help teach children the importance of protecting their skin from overexposure to the sun.
This document discusses sunscreen and sun protection. It explains that UV rays from the sun can damage skin and potentially cause skin cancer. It recommends using sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and reapplying every two hours. Higher SPF sunscreens do not provide significantly more protection above SPF 50. Physical (mineral) sunscreens offer protection immediately while chemical sunscreens take 15-30 minutes to be effective. Proper application, covering all exposed skin and reapplying is important to receive full protection from sunscreen.
This document provides information and recommendations for protecting skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. It advises avoiding direct sunlight between 10 AM and 4 PM, applying broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher 15-30 minutes before going outside, reapplying often, wearing protective clothing and hats, choosing sunglasses that block 99-100% of UV rays, and seeing a doctor about any new or changing skin spots or lesions.
This document provides information and strategies for sun safety at resorts. It discusses establishing a sun safety program called "Go Sun Smart" that would provide education materials to guests and training to employees. The program is based on over a decade of sun safety research focusing on outdoor workers and recreationists. The document then covers topics like the skin cancer problem, how UV radiation affects skin, assessing personal risk factors, and practicing sun safety strategies like using shade, covering up with protective clothing, and applying sunscreen properly. It emphasizes the importance of early skin cancer detection.
This document provides information about sunscreen, including its history, types of UV rays, sunscreen classifications, SPF ratings, and key ingredients. Ancient Egyptians used plant extracts for rudimentary sun protection. There are three types of UV rays: UVA causes aging, UVA causes sunburn and contributes to skin cancer, and UVC is blocked by the atmosphere. Sunscreens can be physical or chemical, with physical using ingredients like zinc oxide to scatter rays and chemical using ingredients like PABA to absorb rays. SPF ratings measure UVB ray protection, with higher SPF blocking more rays. Ingredients include avobenzoates, cinnamic acid derivatives, and salicylates. An ideal

One blistering sunburn in childhood can double the risk of melanoma later in life. While basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer risk increases with chronic sun exposure, melanoma risk increases even after a single severe sunburn. Other melanoma risks include fair skin, number of moles, and family history. It is important to apply sunscreen liberally, reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating, use at least SPF 30, and seek shade during peak sun hours to prevent sun damage and skin cancer.
The document provides tips for staying safe and cool during the summer heat including drinking plenty of fluids, staying indoors when it's hottest, dressing appropriately for the weather, eating light meals, and taking cool showers. It describes the symptoms of heat exhaustion like dizziness and heatstroke like confusion and loss of consciousness, both of which require immediate medical attention.
92% Of Sunscreens Don't Work - What Does?kalista03V
A study found that 92% of sunscreen products did not provide adequate sun protection and many contained potentially hazardous ingredients. Products with high SPF ratings can give users a false sense of security and cause them to stay in the sun longer without reapplying. Some key issues are sunscreens containing retinyl palmitate which may accelerate skin damage and oxybenzone which is a hormone disruptor. The FDA recommends choosing mineral sunscreens with SPF 15-50+, avoiding high SPF ratings, applying enough early and reapplying often, using protective clothing and sunglasses, and staying in the shade when possible. Xcel is supporting skin cancer prevention programs through sales of rash guards and UV protective clothing.

This document provides information about skin cancer prevention from the California Skin Cancer Prevention Program. It notes that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in California, with an estimated 7,050 new cases and 925 deaths from melanoma in 2012. The three main types of skin cancer are discussed. Risk factors like family history, fair skin and numerous moles are outlined. Prevention tips include wearing sunscreen, protective clothing and sunglasses, limiting sun exposure, and avoiding tanning beds. The ABCDE method for checking moles is explained. Treatment options like surgery, radiation therapy and cryosurgery are listed, with prevention emphasized as the best approach. Frequently asked questions about sunscreen use, application and types are answered.
SPF (sun protection factor) indicates how much solar energy is required to burn the skin compared to without sunscreen. SPF 15 means it takes 15 times longer to burn than unprotected. However, other factors like solar energy strength also determine burn time. For beach trips, doctors recommend at most SPF 30 that is waterproof and sweatproof. Reapply every hour, especially after water, and wear a hat and sit in shade when possible. The document asks readers to share their best beach experience.
Indoor tanning became popular in the 1920s as a way to achieve a tan without spending long hours in the sun. Since then, the tanning industry has targeted various groups including college students by promoting tanning as healthy and linking it to social and cultural events. However, numerous studies have shown that indoor tanning increases the risk of skin cancer significantly. Melanoma rates are rising among young adults who began indoor tanning before age 35. While some still argue tanning provides vitamin D or reduces stress, dermatologists warn that no amount of UV exposure is safe and indoor tanning should be avoided.
The document discusses the controversy around indoor tanning. It outlines arguments from both advocates and critics of indoor tanning. Advocates claim tanning has health benefits like vitamin D production, while critics link indoor tanning to increased skin cancer risks and other health issues. The document also provides skin cancer statistics and notes the multi-billion dollar indoor tanning industry may be partially responsible for rising skin cancer rates, especially among teenage girls.
Indoor tanning is an alternative to outdoor tanning that allows for controlled exposure to ultraviolet rays to produce melanin and vitamin D. While indoor tanning provides benefits like a faster tan and mood improvement, it also carries greater health risks than outdoor tanning such as eye damage, premature skin aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer due to higher UV exposure levels. Important factors in indoor tanning include using tanning lotion to prevent burning and maximize tan, and being aware that UVA rays penetrate deeper and contribute more to skin damage and aging than UVB rays.

This document discusses the benefits and costs of foreign direct investment (FDI) for both host and home countries. Some key benefits of FDI for host countries include resource transfers of capital, technology and management skills which can boost employment, balance of payments, and competition/economic growth. However, FDI can also increase competition that harms local companies or allow foreign companies to monopolize industries. For home countries, FDI provides inflows of foreign earnings and increased demand for exports, but it can also lead to capital outflows and loss of production/jobs. Governments of both host and home countries have policy tools to encourage or restrict FDI.

This document discusses ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and provides guidelines for sun protection. It explains that UV radiation has three types - UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA and UVB can damage skin and eyes, while UVC is blocked by the ozone layer. Effects of overexposure include sunburn, eye damage, premature skin aging, and skin cancer. The document recommends using sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, wearing protective clothing and sunglasses, seeking shade, and reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours.
This document provides information about sunscreen and protection from UV rays. It discusses the types of damage UV rays can cause including sunburn, wrinkles, and skin cancer. While dark skin provides some protection, all skin tones are still at risk and should use sunscreen. It explains what SPF measures, the importance of broad spectrum protection, and the differences between physical and chemical sunscreens. The document also provides guidance on proper application amounts, reapplication schedules, indoor/rainy day use, and special considerations for vacations.
This document provides information about sunscreen and sun protection. It discusses how UV radiation from the sun can damage skin and increase cancer risk. While sunscreens can help block some UV rays, they are not fully protective on their own. The document recommends using other protective measures in addition to sunscreen, such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding sun exposure during peak hours. It provides guidance on choosing a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher and properly applying it.
Sunscreens can help protect against UV radiation but are not fully effective on their own; proper sun protection requires avoiding sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, and reapplying sunscreen regularly. While overexposure to UV rays increases skin cancer risks, certain groups like those with fair skin or a history of sunburns are even more vulnerable. To fully protect skin from damage, it is important to utilize multiple strategies in addition to sunscreen like seeking shade and getting vitamin D from diet rather than sun exposure.
Sun protection a simple procedure to safeguard our body from the adverse effects of sunlight.

It advises wearing protective clothing, hats and sunglasses. The document also lists important features to look for in sunscreens, such as broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays, and waterproof or sweat-resistant options for active lifestyles.
Sunburn occurs when skin is overexposed to UV rays from the sun or tanning beds. It causes skin redness and pain. For mild cases, self-care measures like aloe vera, cool compresses, and pain relievers can help. More severe sunburn with blistering may require seeing a doctor. The best prevention is to avoid sun exposure and wear protective clothing and sunscreen with a high SPF that is reapplied regularly.
In this issue of Wellbeing Insights, we cover important summer wellness topics including sun care, iron deficiency, skin cancer signs and sun burn care.
This document discusses side effects of bright light exposure, including from the sun, blue light, indoor light, and lasers. Direct sunlight can cause eye cancers, cataracts, and sunburns on the eye. Blue light is particularly harmful and may cause temporary or permanent retinal damage or blindness. Indoor fluorescent and LED lights can cause eye strain. Welding arcs emit ultraviolet radiation that can cause welder's flash or burn the skin with prolonged exposure. Light therapy using bright light boxes is a common treatment for seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
TanningTowelettes are pre-moistened wipes that offer an efficient way to apply sun protection without the cost and mess of traditional sunscreens. They can help minimize skin damage from UV rays by allowing people to regularly apply protection when outdoors for work, recreation, or other activities. TanningTowelettes are more cost effective and easier to use than bottles or sprays, as they involve no spills or having to spread excess oil on the skin.
Whether it is sunny, cloudy, or rainy, any time spent outdoors leaves your delicate skin vulnerable to sun damage. You may be spending a hot summer day at a local resort or simply sitting outside during your lunch break; it is vital to protect your skin with the right sun protection options.
We’ve heard the importance of applying sunscreen since childhood, but how does sunscreen work to protect our skin?
Natural sunlight contains, among other things, UV photons. These photons are shorter in wavelength and higher in energy than visible light. Because they fall outside the visible spectrum, the human eye cannot perceive them. When it comes to sunlight, what you can’t see will hurt you. When these high-energy photons strike your skin, they generate free radicals and can also directly damage your DNA. Over the short term, this UV-induced damage can produce a painful burn. Over the long term, it causes premature aging of the skin and new skin cancer cases each year.

Maintaining or Improving your health status in CPA (Khaled Al-shair)Graham Atherton
This document summarizes a presentation on factors affecting health status in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The presentation discusses that approximately 70% of patients responded positively to antifungal treatment, while 30% deteriorated. Important factors influencing response and health include underlying diseases, smoking, physical activity, age, nutrition status, and acute chest infections. Previous tuberculosis, asthma, COPD, and pneumonia are common underlying conditions. Smoking negatively impacts lung function, and physical activity is important for health. Nutrition and avoiding chest infections also impact health status in patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.
Dr Libby Radcliffe talks about the aches & pains suffered by aspergillosis patients, the different causes and what can be done to reduce them. Professor Malcolm Richardson talks about the types of moulds we all come across every day and the damage they can cause in the wrong places. Dr Graham Atherton talks about the correct specification for facemasks used to reduce the inhalation of mould spores when carrying out routine daily tasks & hobbies.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
