Fri, 17 May 2013 16:20:20 -0400

Memorial day is almost upon us, and the Friday before that special holiday is designated to be Don’t Fry Day. According to the American Cancer Society, Don’t Fry Day is here to help “raise awareness of sun safety and encourage everyone to take steps to protect their skin”. Ultraviolet rays are the primary cause for skin cancer, and the risks can be dramatically lowered by simply shielding your skin with clothes, wearing protective sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher, an stay in shades. Cancer treatments are difficult to go through, not only for the patient, but for the family as well. So understand how you can protect yourself against skin cancer, and start applying the recommendations next time you have your fun in the sun!

It is spring time! For many people, it means time for spring cleaning. It could mean anything, from cleaning the house, or even cleaning up your daily routines to live more effectively. Same can be done for caregivers providing their time and effort for elderly who needs help. Caregiving can be a stressful job, and many gets burned out because of it. If changing a routine can help ease such stress, it is a good idea to do so. Here are some advice from AgingCare.com about changing up the routine as caregivers. Instead of insisting on being right with someone who has Alzheimer’s, try agreeing with their position even if they are wrong to avoid conflicts. A caregiver also need to understand that they need to take care of themselves as well as the elderly. If the caregiver is incapable of providing the best care due to physical/health issues, then try getting someone to relieve your duty short term until the problems are solved.
