Are you getting nicely tanned but not happy with a dry or leatherly look to your skin? It is time to check on your interior support for your skin. Make sure that you are getting plenty of clean water, healthy fats such as nuts, olive oil, coconut oil and avocados, and Vitamin D. This vitamin which is really a hormone is vital to the health of the body in many areas including being a potent cancer fighter. On the outside, a powder skin screen is best. You only need 15 minutes a day of sunlight to make Vitamin D.

I have recently had the privilege of meeting many of our senior population. They are wonderful people and each has such an interesting history. I strongly urge family members to record the histories of their loved ones before the opportunity passes. I have met a woman who on occasion danced with Fred Astaire and another woman who used to ride the rails. What a delightful experience to meet these people!

Summer is just a few weeks away when you will be spending time out of doors enjoying the sun. Use this change of season to remind you to have your skin checked. Have a loved one examine your back and the back of your legs, and your hair dresser check your head for anything suspicious. Please visit your physician or dermatologist if you have any moles that have changed or new growths. It could save your life.
