Summer days are for participating in fun activities and creating unforgettable memories with people seniors care about. However, seniors must protect themselves from harmful UV rays and practice sun safety.<\/p>\n<p>Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and most of the time it is caused by ultraviolet radiation. Since the sun gradually damages the skin over time, seniors need to be extra careful when it comes to protecting themselves from sunburns. Seniors who want to stay safe while enjoying their summer days need to take a few precautions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Five Tips to Avoid the Risk of Skin Cancer in Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #1 &#8211; Avoiding the hottest time of the day:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Seniors should plan their activities for the morning or evening, and stay inside from 10 am to 4 pm when the sun\u2019s rays are the most intense. In addition, seniors who are worried about dehydration should also avoid going outside in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #2 &#8211; Having the appropriate cover:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">To avoid sun damage, seniors need to stay in the shade while being outside. Since there are areas that do not have accessible shade, planning is a must.\u00a0 Older adults who want to spend the day outside should wear a hat or parasol, long-sleeve shirts, and long pants, as well as sunglasses.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #3 &#8211; Remember to use sunblock:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Seniors who will be spending a lot of time outside should always put on sunscreen any time they leave the house and reapply it every two hours or even more often if they are going to participate in water activities.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #4 &#8211; Practicing medication safety:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Some medications can cause increased sun sensitivity, which is why seniors must consult their physicians before they participate in outdoor activities.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #5 &#8211; Knowing the signs of skin cancer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">All seniors should perform annual skin cancer checkups. Detecting skin cancer early is critical for treating it effectively.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
