Do you miss the days when it was “OK” to be in the sun all day? Although there are good reasons to protect yourself from too much exposure to the sun, there are also health benefits to getting out in the sun! At The Physiotherapy Center LTD, we believe that part of staying healthy is staying informed. Too often, we hear that the solution to any health problem is medication, but the reality is there are a lot of benefits to getting out in the fresh air and enjoying the health benefits of sunlight! Some fun facts about sunlight: • Bone health: One of the best-known benefits of sunlight is its ability to boost the body’s vitamin D levels. For most white people, a half-hour in the summer sun produces enough sun to avoid bone-related disorders (i.e., rickets and osteoporosis). For darker-skinned people, the exposure time needs anywhere from 30 minutes to three hours to get sufficient vitamin D. This is a significant reason why darker-skinned people have a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency. • Mental health: Decreased sun exposure has also been associated with a drop in your serotonin levels, which can lead to significant depression. Sunlight cues special areas in the retina of your eyes that trigger serotonin release. Summer Fun Facts
• Cancer prevention: Although excess sunlight can contribute to skin cancers, a moderate amount of the sun has preventive benefits for the following cancers: • Colon cancer • Hodgkin’s lymphoma • Ovarian cancer • Pancreatic cancer • Prostate cancer • Skin health: Adequate sun exposure may help treat several skin conditions, including: • Psoriasis • Eczema • Jaundice • Acne Other health conditions: Research studies have revealed preliminary links between sunlight as a potential treatment for several different disorders like: • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) • Systemic lupus erythematosus • Inflammatory bowel disease • Thyroiditis There is no way to recommend an exact amount of exposure due to your skin type and how direct the sun’s rays are. However, generally speaking, the time of day most likely to cause problems is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. One of the most important benefits of summertime is that longer days mean more time to spend with your loved ones or get outside to exercise. Summertime is great to get outside and take in the summer sun!

8 Health & Wellness Tips For The Summer
Click Here To Schedule Your Next Appointment
1.Drink green tea instead of sweet tea. Green tea has a natural component that helps speed up your metabolism. Skip the box tea and opt for the brew- it-yourself with boiling water and a tea bag-type tea. 2.Serve seafood. Summer is the ideal time to get the freshest catch from your local grocer. Grill salmon, tuna, lobster, steamer clams, and calamari for a low- calorie, protein-packed lunch or dinner. 3.Don’t skip breakfast. When you wake up in the morning, your body is running on fumes. Eating a breakfast with protein, carbs, and healthy fat kicks your metabolism into high gear and provides energy for the day. 4.Enjoysummer fruits and veggies. It’s easy to sink into a vegetable rut, eating the same boring veggies week after week, but with summer comes fresh choices. Including a mix of in-season colorful veggies in your meals gives your body a nutrient kick. 5.Snack at work. Bring snacks to work and graze throughout the day. When you eat more often—five
to six times per day—you’re far less likely to overeat and more likely to stay energized. 6.Hydrate often. The summer heat makes you more susceptible to dehydration. Start off your day by drinking two glasses of water and keep drinking at each meal, as well as before and after your workout, to stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle with you as a reminder to stay hydrated. 7. Recover with a post-workout shake. After exercising, blend your favorite summer fruits and a scoop of whey protein into a shake to kickstart the muscle-building process, help your body recover from training, and boost your energy levels. 8.Pre-plan your meals. You plan your weekend getaways and activities for summer. Why not your meals? Make it easy by preparing all of your food on Sunday so that you have enough meals for the week. The best part: You’ll save money.

“Telehealth involves using telecommunications and virtual technology to deliver healthcare outside of traditional healthcare facilities. Telehealth, which requires access only to telecommunications, is the most basic element of “eHealth,” which uses a broader range of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Telehealth examples include virtual home health care, where patients such as the chronically ill or the elderly may receive guidance in specific procedures while remaining at home. Telehealth has also made it easier for healthcare workers in remote field settings to obtain advice from professionals elsewhere in diagnosis, care, and referral of patients. Training can sometimes also be delivered via telehealth schemes or related technologies such as eHealth, which uses small computers and the internet. Well-designed telehealth schemes can improve healthcare access and outcomes, particularly for chronic disease treatment and vulnerable groups. Not only do they reduce demands on crowded facilities, but they also create cost We Offer Telehealth
savings and make the health sector more resilient. Since remote communication and treatment of patients reduce the number of health service visits, transport-related emissions and operational requirements emissions are reduced. In addition, fewer space demands can result in smaller health facilities, with concurrent reductions in construction materials, energy and water consumption, waste, and overall environmental impact.”
