HOW MUCH SUNSHINE IS TOO MUCH? KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE
minutes? Wearing sunscreen and protective clothing are great ways to shield yourself from UV rays, but it’s important to avoid being in direct sunlight for long periods. Taking a break from the sun gives your body the time it needs to recuperate and helps prevent sunburn and heatstroke. COMMON MYTHS ABOUT SUN EXPOSURE Many people think that a tan is better than a sunburn, but the result of tanning is still sun damage. When your skin tone changes due to the sun, regardless of whether it tans or turns red, it’s a result of the epidermis reacting to damage caused by UV rays. Both are symptoms of harmed skin. While vitamin D is important, the sun does not contribute to its creation as much as you might think. Doris Day, a New York City dermatologist, explains that if your skin were to constantly produce vitamin D from being in the sun, it would reach toxic levels. Vitamin D is the only vitamin that your body can produce on its own, through a common form of cholesterol or 7-dehydrocholesterol. Spending time in the sun does help vitamin D form, but you need far less exposure than you think.
To many people, summer is all about heading outside to enjoy the weather. But getting too much sun can be dangerous. To have a fun- filled summer with your family this year, remember that it’s essential to protect yourself from harmful UV rays. COVER UP Covering your skin is one of the best ways to avoid skin damage. Wide- brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants or skirts can protect your skin from direct exposure to UV rays. While this tactic protects you from the sun, it offers poor defense against the heat. So, if you opt for cooler attire, it’s important to cover all exposed skin with a copious amount of sunscreen. Be sure to reapply every two hours for maximum skin protection. SPEND LESS TIME IN THE SUN If you’re planning to spend a significant amount of time in the sun, consider your environment. Will there be plenty of shade? Will you have to bring your own? What’s the best way to step out of the sun for a few
Knowing how to protect yourself from UV rays is the first step to having a safe, fun-filled summer!
OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST Overall, I feel like The Advocates are the best choice for anybody who has been injured in an accident. The entire staff has been nothing but professional, pleasant, and experienced. in mind. The other insurance company didn’t answer or return phone calls, and on the rare occasion that I was able to get them on the phone, they were reluctant to talk to me. Luckily, though, that’s why we hired an attorney, and The Advocates did an excellent job acting as a liaison on our behalf and taking out the hassle and frustration of having to deal with insurance companies.
The Advocates have really distinguished themselves from other law firms, not just by reputation, but also by having a name that’s simple to remember and represents the representation you receive from their entire team of attorneys and staff. I have sought advice from attorneys in other practice areas who haven’t so much as returned a phone call. But when I started a chat on The Advocates’ website, an attorney was on the other end of the chat to help answer some basic questions and schedule a follow-up call, and I felt a sense of trust with the attorneys and staff in every interaction I had from the beginning. The process of navigating a claim and working with an at-fault insurance company is daunting. Although my interactions with the at-fault insurance company were very limited, I never felt that they had my best interests
Mark, the attorney on my case, was professional and knowledgeable. He promptly returned phone calls and replied to emails, and he helped break some of the more detailed and overwhelming aspects of the case down to give me a more approachable explanation of what was happening, why it was happening, and what to expect next.
