Friends of steemit, receive my greetings and I wish you the best of successes ...
Cancer is a disease that could be called silent, since at the beginning is usually asymptomatic and when it begins to give signs of appearance in many cases, there is not much to do, all people in one way or another we expose ourselves to thousands of diseases every day, including skin cancer?
The world since it was created millions of years ago, has been attacked by the hand of man through the felling, burning and any other source of environmental pollution that we already know, within these pollutants originated by man attack severely the ozone layer weakening it producing the transfer of the ultraviolet rays of the sun more directly on the earth, and if we expose ourselves daily to this we could facilitate the appearance of skin cancer among us.
Within the Preventive Measures We have the following:
Apply generously sunscreen with a broad spectrum with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or more on all exposed skin. Or use umbrellas, and the easiest of these simply do not expose yourself to the sun.
If you are one of the people who habitually exposes to the sun for work reasons Wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, whenever possible.
Keep in mind that the sun's rays are strongest between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Be very careful when you are near water, snow and sand, as they reflect and intensify the harmful rays of the sun, increasing the chances of burning in the sun.
Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that can include vitamin supplements. Do not expose yourself to the sun to get vitamin D.
Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkles.
Avoid Exposure to the sun is the most predictable risk factor for all skin cancers, which we can do best.
