July is UV Safety Awareness Month In Austin
Seniors Grab Their Sunscreen in Austin’s Summer Heat
The Sun is Necessary For Life But Can Take Its Toll on Seniors
UV rays gives us the light and heat we need to survive. However, too much exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can lead to skin cancer — especially melanoma, the deadliest form.
Austin Senior’s should be smart this summer and protect themselves from harmful Ultraviolet rays. The sun emits radiation as UV-A and UV-B rays. Both can do serious damage to your skin and eyes.
Learning the risks associated with excessive sun exposure and taking the right precautions to protect your skin can help everyone enjoy summer safely!
Some of the risks of excessive sun exposure are:
- Vision Impairment
- Premature Aging of the Skin
- Suppression of the Immune System
- Skin Cancer
