With the summer season in full swing across Alabama, now is a great time to enjoy many different outdoor activities. When it is not too hot, being outside and soaking up some sunshine just feels good. Sunlight can provide for a lovely summer day, helps our plants and vegetation grow, and is even believed to help invigorate the soul. However, too much exposure to the sun can be dangerous, or even deadly. While sunlight is great for many things, the sun also provides ultraviolet rays, which have been linked to various types of skin cancer. This year alone, more than one million cases of cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. While most kinds are highly curable, their treatment can leave noticeable scars on visible parts of the body.
However, scarring isn't the only damage that the sun can cause. Melanoma is a more serious form of skin cancer related to sun damage, and is far less curable. From 1999-2004, the Alabama Health Department reports that 5,827 cases of melanoma were diagnosed, with nearly 700 proving fatal.

Studies show that about 80 percent of UV damage from sun exposure occurs in childhood and adolescence. Unfortunately, for many of us, most of the damage occurred when we did not know the potential danger that the sun posed, and did nothing to protect our skin. While we can't erase the harm done years ago, there are several preventive measures that we can take now to keep new problems from occurring. Nowadays there is so much misinformation about sun protection, and it is important to be aware of a few tips to help keep your skin healthy and safe this summer.

First and foremost, try to stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible. Gone are the days of staying in the sun all day, or using oils to help aid in the tanning process. If you do have to be out in the sun, try to do so in short intervals, rather than long stretches of time.

Another myth is that the sun can't hurt those who are already tanned. However, getting a tan or using a tanning product that dyes the skin temporarily offers minimal protection against sun damage. If you are in the sun, the best way to protect yourself is by wearing sunscreen. However, wearing sunscreen does not make us invincible from the sun's harm, especially if sunscreen is not used properly. Proper sunscreen application, or "slathering," is using one ounce of a product on an average body wearing an average bathing suit. Dermatologists recommend the routine daily use of a sunscreen with an S.P.F. rating of 15 or higher on all exposed areas.
However, fair skinned folks or anyone who has already had skin cancer should use a sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 30, which blocks more than 97 percent of the sun's rays. For sunscreen to be effective, it should be applied 15 to 30 minutes before going out in the sun, and should be reapplied every two hours, especially after swimming or heavy sweating.

While wearing sunscreen is essential and a good SPF is important, it is important to note that a sunscreen should have more than just a SPF. Our sun puts out two types of harmful radiation. The first, ultraviolet A radiation (UVA) is responsible for premature skin aging, while the other, ultraviolet B radiation (UVB), causes sunburns. However, both types of radiation have been linked to causing skin cancer.

While most sunscreens provide protection against both types, the S.P.F. rating relates only to UVB exposure.

Your sunscreen should also block UVA radiation. Two ingredients now used in "complete" sunscreens are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

These products are cosmetically safe, and it is important to ensure that your sunscreen has both.

By practicing some of these tips, you can make sure that you enjoy all the benefits of the sun, while keeping your skin healthy for many years. Enjoy your summer, but remember to slather up before you head out; your skin will definitely thank you for it.

 

Doctors have some novel things to blame for weight gain

Milwaukee (US), June 27 (AP): Why are so many people fat? Scientists have come up with some novel excuses, including air conditioning, lack of sleep, fewer smokers, and more sex among obese people, which can produce chubby kids.

Desserts are not the only things weighing America down, these researchers contend in a report published today in the International Journal of Obesity.

 

"I think it's very creative," said Dr Robert Kushner, medical director of the weight management programme at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago , who had no role in the report. "We are facing an epidemic with no tipping point in the near future. At this point, there are no silly ideas."

However, some critics say the authors' "Top Ten" list of alternative explanations reads more like material for a late night talk show routine than a scientific study.

"I'd put this in the category of 'calorie distracters' - 'Let's just do anything to get people to stop worrying about having to eat less and move more,'" said Marion Nestle, a nutrition professor at New York University and frequent food industry critic. "'And let's not say a word to food companies about misleading and manipulative marketing practices, especially those directed toward children.'"

David Allison, a University of Alabama biostatistician, invited 19 other scientists in the United States , Canada and Italy , to work on the report.

They looked at more than 100 studies on potential contributors to obesity besides diet and exercise, and concluded there was at least some support for 10.

Inadequate sleep. (Average sleep amounts have fallen, and many studies tie sleep deprivation to weight gain.)

- Endocrine disruptors, which are substances in some foods that may alter fats in the body.

- Nice temperatures. (Air conditioning and heating limit calories burned from sweating and shivering.)

- Fewer people smoking. (Less appetite supression.)

- Medicines that cause weight gain.

- Population changes in the United States . (More middle-agers and Hispanics, who have higher obesity rates.)

- Older birth moms. (That correlates with heavier children).

- Genetic influences during pregnancy.

- Darwinian natural selection. (Fat people outsurvive skinny ones).

- Assortative mating, or "like mating with like," as Allison puts it. Translation: fat people procreating with others of the same body type, gradually skewing the population toward the heavy end.

Not that people necessarily should try to alter these factors, Allison said. For example, "we would never recommend that people start smoking to reduce their body weight."

The same for medications that can lead to weight gain, though doctors may want to consider alternatives if a patient piles on pounds, said Dr Louis Aronne, a Weill-Cornell Medical

School nutrition expert who is past president of the Obesity Society, the leading group of researchers in the field. The point is, there is more to obesity than diet and exercise, Allison said. "These are 10 reasonable hypotheses, and as scientists, we should be open-minded," he said.
