Summer is coming! Are you ready to take a plunge in the cold oceans of the beach? Of course, sun bathing is the most popular thing people do during summer. I really can’t wait to go to the province with my family and spend my one-week vacation there. I imagine myself enjoying the white sand of the beach and the cool waters and fresh breeze of the wind. But my one great problem ruined and spoiled my vacation: the heat from the sun. It is hurts my eyes every time I emerge from the water. It hurts my skin whenever I come out from our house to meet my friends. Take note, excessive exposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer as well as premature winkling and aging of the skin. In proper amounts, however, the sun’s rays can be good for your health. But somehow, you should know that burning the skin is extremely harmful for everyone.
According to some books, every burn destroys healthy, living tissue. Repeated burns cause irreversible damage and can set up a person for skin cancer. And if all that isn’t bad enough, repeated sunburn and even repeated deep tanning of the skin gradually destroy its elasticity and its oil glands, producing wrinkling and premature aging. Some recent studies suggest that a high-fat diet, when combined with exposure to sunlight, may also promote cancers of the skin. So people, who are in great risks, BEWARE!
To prevent these kinds of infirmity, you should follow some guidelines for safe, healthy exposure to sunlight like wearing protective clothing. Even if you think your clothes are not in fashion, still wear them. Fashion is not going to die, we are. We could still apply fashion in wearing clothes, which could help reduce our risk on skin illnesses. Wear protective eyewear (basically the sun glasses or shades). There are many variety and sort of glasses, which could add to your sense of style. You got a fashion sense and your eyes are also protected. And lastly, apply protective sunscreen if needed. Sunscreens and sun blocks are really useful nowadays! Imagine our lives without these things. OUCH! I could see in your mind's eye that we are going to die of skin cancer.
If you have an outdoor trip or vacation coming up with your family and friends like going to a beach resort or hiking on mountains, prepare your skin by giving it progressive exposure in the days earlier and in advance. You can also take a few minutes outside your abode to enjoy the sunshine each morning. It will help improve your health and lift up your spirits. Sunlight contains Vitamin D, which is one of the nutrients needed for the body to energize the body.
For thousand of years, sunlight has been known as the mediator of life. But we know today that it can be healing or destructive; it can be the kiss of life or the kiss of death, depending on how we use it.
