Summer is Here
1. Cover up and wear sunscreen - Protect your skin from ultra-violet B rays (which can cause skin cancer) and ultra-violet A rays (which can cause wrinkles). Choose a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15. SPF provides protection against harmful UVB rays.
2. Do body checks for ticks on humans and pets - Don't let the cold, snowy winter we experienced in the northeast fool you. Ticks are just as problematic as ever this season and not only if you're trekking through grassy or wooded areas, either. Here's what to do if you find a tick on your body.
3. Keep cool in extreme heat - Extreme heat can be dangerous for everyone, but it may be especially dangerous for people with chronic medical conditions.
4. Move more, sit less - Get at least 150 minutes of aerobic physical activity every week.
