7.Not Wearing Sunscreen All Year
Ultraviolet (UV) light is the main cause of skin cancer. And the sun’s UV rays shine year-round. For those with light skin, it only takes about 10-15 minutes to get sun damage. But no matter your skin color, it’s a good idea to wear sunscreen anytime you go outside, even if it’s cloudy. Be extra careful around snow, sand, or water. They can reflect the sun’s rays. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Cover all areas of exposed skin, including your lips and ears.
8.Avoiding Vaccines
Flu shots and other vaccines protect you from lots of diseases. But your health isn’t the only thing on the line. Vaccines lessen the odds you’ll spread diseases to others. That’s important because certain groups are more likely to get very sick, such as babies, young children, older people, and those with certain health conditions or weakened immune systems. The vaccines you need change as you age. Ask your doctor which ones are best for you and your family.
