  Speaker 2: great ways to improve our overall well being. Of course

  Speaker 2: we have considerations such as sun exposure, and of course
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: are our air quality here in Utah is one of
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the things that we need to be aware of as well.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: But today we'll talk about sun exposures too much. If
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we do everything in.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: One Yeah, I mean you're talking about the right guy.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm mister skin cancer guy. Myself on you know, had
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it on my face numerous, numerous times.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it's very common. Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: We were such high altitude that it definitely puts us
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: at a little bit higher risk than some of the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: places that might be lower altitude.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: So what are we?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: What are we?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Where do we start here?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is mostly the basics wearing protective clothing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: This can include long sleeves, pants, wide brim hats, anything
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: that can kind of help protect your body from that
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: direct exposure to the sun. Of course, you want to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: look for clothing that is breathable so you don't overheat,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: as well as that has built in UV protection.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's something I didn't realize until a few years ago.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You could buy shirts that actually have UV protection in them.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's almost like sunscreen.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and those well, just like a cotton
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: T shirt or whatever can help. These give you just
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that extra layer of protection.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: What's next next is to stay in the shade when
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you can. So if you are spending time outside, do
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: your best to keep too shaded areas. This might be
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: places like parks with trees. Maybe you carry an umbrella
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: or have one of those little.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Pop up carry carries a parasol when.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, I bet that's beautiful.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I have several to choose from. Yeah, it's very it's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: very nice.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: What else we got wear sunscreen of course, and we're
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: looking of course, for water and sweat resistant broad spectrum sunscreen,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the recommendation is to find an SPS of at least
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: thirty and then reapply every couple of hours. And this
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: might change based on if you're swimming and sweating, you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: might need to do it a little bit more that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: just generally that you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I read somewhere I heard somewhere along the time ago
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that thirty SPF that's that's pretty much all you need
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: if you see, you know, like the SPF fifty and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you're just you're paying for not really that much ext me.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I have read that as well, and I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: cannot cite my sources. It sounds like on it, but
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I have seen that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: It sounds like big Sunscreen is trying to convince you, well, yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the SPF fifty is much better, but apparently.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It isn't really you know what, Yeah, there's a diminishing return.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Elena, I keep sunscreen in my purse
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and before I go, before I go out driving, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: put it on my hands. Yes, because you think, well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you're in your car, you don't need it. Think about
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: your hands sitting there in direct sunlight when you're out
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: driving around.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Now what's causing all these brown spots on your hands? Man?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, And this is one of my tips as well,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: is using sunscreen even while we're indoors, especially during these
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: sunnier months. So inside your home, inside your car, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: think the car especially you're exposed. But if you have
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: windows things like that in your house, you are still
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: getting that exposure. And so, yeah, Gina's right, absolutely, such
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a good tip.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start wearing sunglasses indoors and outdoors indoors.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Oh perfect, I think you're gonna look really good. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: sunglasses are actually a very helpful tool. They're not just
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: stylish and cool, although they are those things, they also
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: helped you protect your eyes as well as that delicate
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: skin around your eyes from the sun from the UV exposure.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So yes, where your sunglasses?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: All right? And then what else is sunscreen? And oh
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: even indoors you already said that, yeah yeah, yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Well so there you go, Gina read my mind.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Your skin is your largest organ, so take care of it.
• 5:24
