Message From RadhikaAs we enter the last month of

summer I reflect back to dayswhen I played sports in highschool. I have always been athleticand started playing team sports ata young age. It wasn’t until myteenage years, as I entered highschool, that sports become sotime-constraining and competitivethroughout the school year. Iplayed volleyball, basketball,softball, and ran track in highschool, which shows you that myentire school year entailed goingto classes and then going topractice/games.

A big part of my summer wasjust relaxing. When it came timeto start volleyball camp it wouldalways be a struggle to keep up, asI was never consistent with myworkouts during the summerbreak. I remember my first weekback every year was torture. I wasout of breath, sore, and couldn’tkeep up with the endurance

exercises. Eventually it got easieras camp continued, but this was aconstant routine that I hatedgoing though. I would always sayto myself, “If I just worked outduring the summer, I would notbe going through this misery oftrying to get back in shape.”

Although we all enjoy the “lazy,hazy, crazy days of summer,”please take my story as a reminderthat routine wellness is animportant part of everyday life.Maintaining our health andphysical fitness at any age is a wayto keep ourselves strong bothphysically and mentally. When wedo not maintain our physicalwellness we tend to get weak,become depressed, lethargic, andstruggle to get back to our bestselves. Remember that as we age itgets harder to bounce back, so it isimportant to stay constant withphysical activity.

This month, I encourage you allto join the many exercise andfitness classes we offer here at thecommunity. It won’t be easy atfirst, but if you continue theroutine, it will become a habitthat you will be happy you pickedit up!

Have a great August!

Sunny & SafeSummer Fun

The odds of developing skincancer rise as you age; nearly 40and 50 percent of Americans wholive to age 65 have a higherpossibility of having at least onetype of skin cancer. Skin cancermay be caused by manymutations accumulating over timeand the body’s immune system isresponsible for recognizing andkilling abnormal cells before theybecome cancerous. As you age,your immune system is less ableto fight infection and control cellgrowth. Many older adults thinkthat there’s no point in protectingthemselves since the damage hasbeen done, but it’s never too lateto help prevent further damageand lower your skin cancer risk.The Skin Cancer Foundation hasalways recommended using asunscreen with an SPF 15 orhigher as one important part of acomplete sun protection regimen.Sunscreen alone is not enough,however.

Here are a few ways to keepyourself well protected whilehaving safe, sunny summer fun.

1. Seek the shade, especiallybetween 10 AM and 4 PM.

2. Avoid tanning and UVtanning beds.

3. Cover up with clothing,including a broad brimmed hatand UV-blocking sunglasses.

4. Use a broad spectrum(UVA/UVB) sunscreen with anSPF of 15 or higher every day. Forextended outdoor activity, use awater-resistant, broad spectrum(UVA/UVB) sunscreen with anSPF of 30 or higher.

5. Apply 1 ounce (2tablespoons) of sunscreen to yourentire body 30 minutes beforegoing outside. Reapply every twohours or immediately afterswimming or excessive sweating.

6. Examine your skinhead-to-toe every month.

7. See your physician every yearfor a professional skin exam.
