If you ever disregarded health talk on the dangers of things like tanning, junk food, and other luxuries it is time to listen and learn how to stop the negative impact these things have on your health.

Tanning – Every summer you go outside and frolic in the water, spend time at the beach, and forget to bring your sunscreen. Some people may even invest in a few visits to a tanning salon. Besides skin cancer, exposure to light rays from both the sun and tanning beds or lamps can cause skin aging. If you already have skin damage it is recommended you see a dermatologist. You should always use sunscreen over 30 SPF. Try to avoid too much sun exposure at peak time: 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.

Poor dental hygiene – Not brushing and flossing leads to gum disease, cavities, inflammation, gum recession, and eventually tooth loss.  Ignoring the bacteria in your mouth will let them spread and cause problems. Even if it seems it is too late you can still stop further damage. First of all, get a new toothbrush (any old toothbrush is probably filled with bacteria, or the bristles may be damaged, so start fresh). Brush after breakfast, and after dinner. Make an appointment with the dentist as only a professional will be able to remove the tartar buildup that brushing and flossing will not remove.

Junk food – Everyone loves a treat once in a while, but when it becomes a daily splurge it is dangerous to your health. First look at the body mass index and see if you are at a healthy weight. Next check your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Make a list of your usual snacks, and then a list of the healthy alternatives. For example rather than a bag of chips have an apple and cheese slices. Try to add more physical activity into your daily routine.

Unprotected sex – Having multiple sexual partners and not using protection puts you and your partner at many risks. HIV and other STI’s are just a few of the risks of unprotected sex. It is recommended adults get tested for HIV once in their lives. There are free tests available at clinics and community organizations. A blood test is also recommended to check for Hepatitis B, and genital rash or sores.

Heavy drinking – Risky drinking is more than four drinks a day for men, three a day for women. Having more than recommended even just 12 times a year can significantly increase your risk of alcohol disorders, alcohol abuse, and alcohol dependence. Thankfully, if you drink excessively in your twenties you are at less of a risk of any alcohol disorders. If you used alcohol when you were stressed you may find yoga helpful rather than relying on alcohol. Stay attentive: know how much you are drinking and why.

5 Things that are Harming your Skin

Filed under: UV rays, Uncategorized, acne, clear skin, pimples, quitting smoking, salon tanning, smoking, tanning beds, vitamin A — Amanda @ 5:44 pm
1. Picking at Pimples!

Picking, popping, or squeezing pimples will actually cause them to become more red and inflamed – and the oil on your fingers will make them worse.

2. Salon Tanning

No matter what kind of UV rays you expose yourself to, you are damaging your skin. Tanning beds and booths emit UV light just like the sun that can burn, cause premature aging, cancer, and sunspots.

3. Shaving with 4 blade razors

If you have acne or bumpy skin, getting the closest shave, isn’t for you. They may have promoting commercials, but these razors end up shaving off more than they should – including layers of skin. To prevent skin irritation, avoid the razors that give you “the closest shave”.

4. Smoking


Smoking has more risks that lung cancer and heart disease. Over time, nicotine will start to cause the blood vessels in your skin to contract, preventing oxygen flow throughout skin cells. Keep smoking and one day you’ll end up with saggy, possibly yellow-ish skin – quit smoking and you may save your skin.

5. Too much Vitamin A

Vitamin is said to help with acne, however too much of it can cause serious internal problems like severe liver damage. Be careful and take your vitamin A in the right doses. Pumpkin, carrots, and spinach are good sources of vitamin A, but don’t go crazy on the vitamins – try treating acne with oral Accutane – as prescribed by your doctor.
