Movin’ Together – Slip Slop Slap Seek Slide
Here in America, If you’re going to be in the sun, the American Cancer Society also recommends the Slip! Slop! Slap! And Wrap! Their method of prevention. Slip on a shirt, slop on 30 SPF (or higher) broad-spectrum sunscreen, slap on a hat, and wrap on sunglasses before going out in the sun. Presently skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. In fact, more skin cancers are diagnosed in the US each year than all other cancers combined. The number of skin cancer cases has been going up over the past few decades.

Hopefully we will see a decline in skin cancers in American too as we apply slip, slop, slap, seek and slide to our lives.

UPMC Susquehanna – Summer Sun Safety
It’s summer time and the warm weather means spending more time outdoors and in the sun. What are the benefits to getting outdoors and soaking up the sun?
Absorbing a healthy amount of Vitamin D, which also occurs through sun exposure, may be a concern for you. While there are no clear guidelines for this, you can try exposing your arms and legs to the sun for 20 – 30 minutes a day, two-to-three times a week during the spring and fall, and then reduce that time to 15-to-20 minutes during the summer months. Sunlight and darkness trigger the release of hormones in your brain. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. Serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. At night, darker lighting triggers the brain to make another hormone called melatonin. This hormone is responsible for helping you sleep.
