TheDoctorsTV and Oz: Healthy Sunscreens are Essential for Summer Fun
Our famous physicians on TV constantly tell their audiences that they simply must wear Sunscreen when they go out in the sun, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Dr. Oz talks about skin cancer and reminds his audience that Sunscreen is a simple, yet effective method of protecting your skin from the ravages of sunlight, especially the face, neck, and arms. These TV doctors don’t know that some of the ingredients in commercial sunscreens can be as much of a problem as the burning rays of the sun for delicate skin tissue. But we have a solution…
First of all, you want to fortify your skin by eating whole foods that are rich in EFAs which keep the skin’s moisture barrier intact and protect the cells from becoming abnormal. Healthy oils like olive oil, seed oils, and avocado oil are excellent additions to your diet which feed the skin with vital nutrients. Vegetables and seaweed provide minerals which strengthen the cellular integrity of the skin and help to maintain its elasticity. A diet of whole foods and pure water keeps the body hydrated which supports the skin at the same time. If you eat foods rich in zinc, it will nourish your skin and provide some protection from the development of skin cancer.
But what about the type of Sunscreen you choose to slather on your skin when you go out in the sun? It matters!
You can forget all of those commercial Sunscreens that put chemicals into their product which are polluting our waters while endangering an individual’s health. Lakes, rivers, and and waterparks have been contaminated when people wear sunscreen into the water. Oxybenzone is one such chemical that has been found to damage our water resources which is commonly used in commercial sunscreens. It becomes a shared responsibility for people to use products that are natural and healthy for humans as well as for the environment. So here is a Sunscreen that you can wear proudly, knowing that you are doing your part for our water resources and staying healthy yourself.
If everyone cared enough to take the precautions necessary to protect their skin and keep our waters safe; then our summer fun would come with a fair price. Our children deserve the very best natural products. They go out in the sun every chance they get and often play all day outdoors. You can easily protect their skin and feel confident that the products you select for your kids are going to keep them healthy for their entire lives. Kids tend to go in and out of the water frequently, so you can continue to apply this organic Sunscreen to their bodies several times during their outing.
For those of you who go to Fairs, Festivals, and events outdoors during the summer to enjoy many popular activities, be sure to remember to take your natural Sunscreen with you and apply it every hour at the peak of the day around noon and then every couple of hours in the later afternoon or early evening when listening to music, watching an outdoor play, or taking a long walk on the beach. Keep your body properly hydrated with pure water while you are outdoors, too.
It’s one thing to have Fun in the Sun, but quite another to ensure that you are doing what needs to be done to protect your skin for a lifetime of healthy fun…sun or no sun!
