Sunscreen lotion is important-to prevent skin cancer

What is a Sunscreen Lotion?

Sunscreens lotions are UV Radiation sun-blocks have a unique molecular structure that absorbs the high-energy ultraviolet (UV) rays and converts them to a less harmful energy level, thus preventing the harmful effect of the UV rays from penetrating the skin. 

What is SPF?

SPF, an abbreviation for sun-protection factor. SPF is given a numerical rating that tells us the degree of protection that is being provided by the sunscreen lotion such as 15, 30, or 50. This tells us how long a topical sunscreen remains effective on the skin. A user can determine the duration of effectiveness simply by multiplying the SPF by the length of time it takes for him or her to suffer a tan without sunscreen. Sunscreen should also be applied at least 30 minutes before going outdoors. According to Dermatologists, sunscreens should be applied 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure, followed by one reapplication 15-30 minutes after the sun exposure begins. Further reapplication is only necessary after activities such as swimming, or after excessive sweating. 

Which is the ideal SPF for Indian skin?

According a recently (2007) published article in the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology, the ideal choice of sunscreens are those that effectively block both Ultraviolet A & B radiation, which is done with an SPF of 30 or greater (Broadspectrum Sunscreen Lotions are ideal). The ideal sunscreen, therefore, should have a high SPF rating and be non-toxic, water-resistant and, importantly, not too expensive!

What ingredients in Sunscreen Lotion protect against both types of UV radiation?

Sunscreen Lotions contain:

  • Zinc oxide or titanium- Blocks more UV radiation.
  • Octocylene - is a chemical known as a Cinnamate that has both UVA- and UVB-absorbing properties
  • Benzophenones - (such as Avobenzone) can also absorb both UVA and UVB rays.
  • Consult a Dermatologist to understand which Sunscreen Lotion is suitable for your skin type.

, stick with cardio/endurance stuff for now as it works betetr than just trying to diet alone. Sports are really good for that sort of thing too and for most people is also fun to do. Since summer is coming up, there will be baseball or softball to play.EDIT: Another thing to think about is don't fret if you don't drop weight quickly. It takes a while to start if you are on a healthy routine. Loosing weight too quickly (even if it is down to a "healthy weight") can cause a lot of problems. Nutritionists and doctors say it isn't healthy to loose more than 2 or 3 pounds in a week.

I understand how difficult it is to properly diet when you have kids to take care of, and when your a bit short with money. I know some supplements that will help, they aren’t over priced, and there easy to take. They are also all natural products so you don’t need to worry about any side effects. I came across a company called BioCeuticals a couple of years ago, and at the time I was looking for some sort of weight loss supplement. I found two that proved worthy of the task. The first one is called IsoWhey and its a milk shake that I would drink instead of eating my meals. Its really tasty, especially if you add some strawberries or a banana. Its packed full of vitamins and minerals. And they other one I was using is called SatisFiber (I hope I’m spelling these right….) SatisFiber is a powder that you drink, and it absorbs the water in your stomach and turns into a block of jelly. The jelly just sits there, and makes you feel like you have had a whole meal!! These products are good value, I say you give them a go. Good luck with it all

I don’t think you really need any supplements, a complex carbohydrate diet should help. Suggestions: flavoured beans and rice, pasta with steamed broccoli and a little mayo, lentil curry, chick pea dip ( hummus) with bread, cut potatoes fried in 1 or 2 (max) tbsps oil, served with eggs, cereal blender drinks (mixed with fruit, as a meal replacement). Reduce your dairy processed food and meat intake, eat less than 40 grams of fat a day. I’m sorry, other than if you eat fruits, salads and bagels, much of what I suggest above will involve a bit of cooking, but it will definitely be easier on your pocketbook.
