Five Easy Tips to Help Prevent Skin Cancer: Saving Skin from the Endless Summer Sun

Pinellas Park, Fla. (PRWEB) April 30, 2013

Florida is the state of the endless summer sun. But that also puts residents at a higher risk of sunburns and much more. This May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and with an estimated 3.5 million cases of skin cancer diagnosed each year, Board Certified Radiation Oncologists at the Pinellas cancer treatment center, WellSpring Oncology, are spreading the message of prevention and awareness.

Skin cancer is affecting younger and younger people, explains Robert Miller, M.D., Board Certified Radiation Oncologist at WellSpring Oncology. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for people ages 25-29. This is a disease you have to prevent from day one. Just one blistering sunburn in youth more than doubles your risk of melanoma.

But Dr. Miller isn't suggesting skipping the beach entirely, just to be more prepared when heading out with these five tips.

1. Check the Clock: The summer sun gives off the most UV rays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dr. Miller suggests finding shade or staying indoors during these hours.

You don't have to be laying out to get a sunburn, even walking to and from your car can expose your skin to UV rays, Dr. Miller explains.

2. Block the Burn: No matter what time of day it is remember to block the burn with sunscreen.

We tell our patients at WellSpring Oncology to use SPF 30 for any outdoor activity. This will keep out about 97 percent of the sun's UVA and UVB rays and give you a safe way of enjoying the warm weather, Dr. Miller says.

Sunscreen should be applied one-half hour before going outside, giving the skin time to absorb it. Because sunscreen tends to be broken down over time by the sun, and rubbed or washed off with sweating and water exposure, it should be reapplied at least every two hours outdoors, and immediately after swimming or heavy sweating. At least one ounce (two tablespoons) is needed to cover the entire body surface.

3. Top off Your Look: Hats aren't just for fashion, according to Dr. Miller. Wide-brim hats provide protection for the ears, nose, shoulders and scalp from sunburns.

Shielding your eyes from the sun is also crucial to preventing any UV damage. So don't forget the sunglasses! Dr. Miller warns.

4. No Tanning Beds: Many used to think tanning beds were the safe way to get that summer glow, says Dr. Miller. But now we know there is no safe tan.

The Skin Cancer Foundation warns indoor tanners are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never tanned indoors. As a safe alternative, Dr. Miller suggests opting for spray-on tan instead.

5. Check the Mirror: It's important to know your own risk factors, explains Dr. Miller.

That includes fair skin, family history and prior blistering sunburns. WellSpring Oncology encourages self-exams by canvasing the skin and looking for atypical moles or freckles and documenting any changes.

The faster we catch the cancer, the more likely we'll be able to eradicate it completely, Dr. Miller says.

The good news is advances in radiation therapy have revolutionized treatment of skin cancer.

Our team uses a High Dose Rate (HDR) technology that cuts sessions down to just six weeks, Dr. Miller explains. Unlike traditional options, like Mohs surgery, radiation therapy leaves little to no scarring and offers a reduced recovery time.

We want our patients to enjoy a healthy life, explains Dr. Miller. By following these five simple steps, you can still safely enjoy the outdoors year-round!

FootMassageRater.com Reveals Ten Easy Foot Care Tips for Healthy Feet

(PRWEB) June 06, 2013

The feet are some of the most overlooked and neglected parts of our body and should be cared for accordingly. The feet support the body's weight, act as shock absorbers, serve as a lever to propel the body forward and help maintain balance throughout the day. The feet are put under a great amount of pressure. Each step we take exerts a tremendous amount of force upon them. This force is 50% greater than the individual's body weight.

Foot pain is a very common problem. It is estimated that 75% of people in the United States suffer from foot pain at some point in their lives, often leaving the problems untreated. Foot pain can occur because of uncomfortable shoes, old age, ingrown toe nails, standing for long periods and general neglect of the feet. There are many home remedies for foot pain including warm foot baths, self-massage, adjusting diet and purchasing a quality foot massager.

"People need to stop neglecting their tired, aching feet and begin a regimen of proper foot care," says Michael Zuyus, founder of FootMassageRater.com. Here are ten easy foot care tips for healthy feet:

1. Wear Properly Sized Shoes

Improperly fitted shoes can damage the feet, resulting in blisters, sore joints and other problems. To achieve a better fit, shop for shoes later in the day when the feet are the most swollen. Feel around inside the shoe for any seams that might cause blisters. Also, ensure that the heel of the shoe isnt slipping off of the Achilles tendon as this can cause irritation.

2. Wear a Variety of Shoes

Believe it or not, shoes need to rest and dry out completely periodically. Wearing the same shoes every day will not give the shoes a chance to air out. This can lead to the growth of fungus and bacteria and can even cause foot odor.

3. Choose Appropriate Shoes

Many people damage their feet by wearing the wrong shoes. Feet need adequate support and cushioning for specific activities like running, climbing or simply standing all day.

4. Wash Feet Thoroughly

Daily, careful washing can prevent a multitude of foot problems. Be sure to get even those hard to reach places, like between the toes, to prevent the growth of bacteria and stave off infections. Dry the feet thoroughly, including between the toes, every time.

5. Buff Away Calluses and Corns

After the shower, use a pumice stone on corns and calluses. A pumice stone can be picked up at any grocery store for a few dollars, and it can keep the feet looking healthy and feeling great. Rub the stone across any rough, raised patches of skin on the feet, making certain to rub in only one direction to avoid tearing the skin.

6. Use Lotion

Dry, cracked feet can be painful as well as unattractive. Even worse, open skin is much more prone to infection. Moisturized feet are healthy feet. For best results, apply lotion after the pumice stone, then put on socks before going to bed.

7. Maintain Nails

Nail fungus is uncomfortable, and so are ingrown toenails. One of the keys to preventing these problems is properly trimming toenails. Cut them straight across, taking care to not cut off the corners. Cutting off the corners can actually cause ingrown toenails. If the corner of a nail is causing problems, gently file it down.

8. Avoid Going Barefoot

Regardless whether in the locker room, at the pool or a backyard, feet will be protected from a multitude of threats simply by being covered. Feet will less likely to get athletes foot when protected with shoes or sandals. In addition, shoes provide support that keep feet comfortable.

9. Get a Foot Massage

Foot massage is extremely powerful and pleasurable. It reduces stress and produces a state of relaxation. It can also increase blood circulation. As blood is the lifeline for every cell in the body, the feet will feel rejuvenated and cleansed as the blood flow to them increases. Foot massage is restorative, increases energy and can reduce the chances of encountering stress-related diseases.

10. Seek a Podiatrist

Constant foot pain, other than the usual tired ache after a long day, is never normal. If feet are routinely causing pain, look for the advice of a podiatrist to treat any potential problems before they get worse.

Avoid foot problems by following the above easy foot care tips. Feet: Dont take them for granted. To read reviews for top rated foot massagers and learn about foot care, visit http://www.footmassagerater.com/ today.

Paula Begoun and The Paula's Choice Research Team Have Four Easy Ways Women Can Update Their Look in 2013

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) December 27, 2012

The beginning of the New Year is an exciting time for setting personal goals, whether its weight loss, financial targets, or volunteering more around the community. No matter what the New Years resolution may be, when a woman feels good about their appearance, it helps them put their best foot forward. Here are four easy, but truly effective, ways women can update their look and be more confident in 2013.

1. Play Up Lashes

Sometimes there isn't enough time to apply a perfectly blended set of eyeshadows in the morning. Instead, focus on emphasizing lashes with a great mascara and sweep a thin or smudged liner across the lids for a sophisticated, beautiful look.

This classic look is universally flattering and a chic way to emphasize the eyes in no time flat. To take it a step further, groom and enhance the brows following this step-by-step guide.

How to pull it off: Paulas Choice Illicit Lash Maximum Impact Mascara ($ 10.95), Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum ($ 10.95), and Paula's Choice Browlistic Long-Wearing Precision Brow Color ($ 9.95).

2. Add a Touch of Radiance to The Complexion

Adding an illuminating effect to the face creates a healthy, warm glow and more youthful appearance. Highlight features such as the cheekbones, inner corner of the eyes, bridge of the nose or brow bone by applying a small amount of illuminator and gently sweeping it out to blend in with the rest of the skin, making sure there are no harsh edges.

Beware: Too much shine can make skin look greasy, and products with overt sparkle or glitter look more tacky than classy.

Fail-proof skin illuminators: Avon Mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter ($ 6), Paulas Choice RESIST Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer with SPF 25 & Antioxidants ($ 24.95), or Yves Saint Laurent Teint Parfait Complexion Enhancer ($ 42).

3. Experiment with Lip Color

Consider breaking out of the comfort zone and adding a pop of color to the lips. This is one of the simplest ways to transform a look and it doesnt add any extra time to a makeup routine.

In a rut with pale pinks and nudes? See what a raspberry shade can do. Tired of the same classic red? Experiment with a coral or pinkish mauve color. Not every lipstick color under the rainbow is going to be suitablethe key is to try several and see what works.

Lip color collections with gorgeous shade options: Paulas Choice Perfect Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss ($ 9.95), Giorgio Armani Rouge DArmani Lipstick ($ 30), and Mary Kay Creme Lipstick ($ 13).

4. Schedule a Professional Hair Consultation

Most salons offer a free hair consultation prior to scheduling an appointment, which is a great way to find out what the pros think, without the pressure of doing it right then and there. Well-trained stylists take several factors into consideration, such as face shape, eye color, skin tone, the way your hair parts, personal skill level when it comes to styling, and so on. Its perfectly fine to think about it for a couple days before booking an appointment. Click here for more hair-care advice.

Bellucci Premium Lists Seven Easy and Effective Beauty Uses for Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) April 15, 2013

On April 15, 2013, Bellucci Premium releases a statement following different ways extra virgin olive oil can be used as a beauty product because of its high concentration in mono-unsaturated fats, antioxidants, and vitamins.

According to Babble, there are seven different ways extra virgin olive oil can be used as a beauty product:

Extra virgin olive oil can be used as a great moisturizer. EVOO penetrates deep into cells, to help with cell regeneration and to soften tissue. It can help with dry areas of the skin like elbows, and also plays a role in lessening the appearance of acne scars.

EVOO can be used as a shaving lubricant. The shave can be a little sticky, but EVOO can leave your skin soft.

Body scrub is another way EVOO can be used as a beauty product. Apply olive oil to the skin and scrub with sugar or a coarse salt. You can also mix EVOO with an essential oil, to create a PASTE that smells and feels good.

Mix EVOO with a little water and it can be used to remove wax from your ears. Place the mixture in your ear with an old eye or ear dropper in the evening before going to bed and the oil will help penetrate the wax more deeply.

If you have a dry scalp, applying heated EVOO to your scalp and hair can help moisturize your skin and hair follicles.

Not only can EVOO moisturize your scalp, it can also moisturize your cuticles. Mix with water and soak your hands for a DIY manicure.

A few drops of EVOO on a cotton ball make a great way to remove makeup. Be extra careful around the eyes, and wipe your face in a circular motion.

Natalie Sexenian, Marketing Manager at Bellucci Premium, commented on the seven beauty tips. People know the health benefits involved when adding extra virgin olive oil to their diets, but some people arent aware of the beauty benefits that olive oil can provide. These tips are a great way to use olive oil for its moisturizing benefits, and can also be a lot cheaper than buying beauty products that do the same thing.

Bellucci Premium Toscano extra virgin olive oil uses olives that are grown on the beautiful landscapes of Tuscany, and maintained by 3rd and 4th generation farmers. Bellucci offers three different types of oil, including an organic option, that offers a mild peppery flavor and fruity undertones that will satisfy any palate. The third type of oil Bellucci offers is the worlds finest Italian extra virgin olive oil, grown only by Italian growers in many different regions of Italy.

Newly Developed Nutrition Program Promises Everyday People an Easy and Effective Way to Good Health

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) April 03, 2013

Yuri Elkaim, a former professional soccer player, like many people these days, suffered from constant fatigue and poor auto immune system and did not fully understand why (despite his Physical Education & Health and Kinesiology degree from the University of Toronto and having worked as a personal trainer for a number of years). I had searched far and wide for answers to my health problems but not a single medical doctor ever clued into the possibility that my health could be related to years of eating lackluster foods (you know, the typical American diet), he shared. Food was actually the main culprit after all, Mr. Elkaim was getting enough exercise; the supposed source of energy and nutrition was depleting his stamina and strength. With this discovery, he took an alternative route and found himself learning about food and nutrition from a natural nutrition school in Toronto which provided him a solid foundation for the natural health course or program he provides through his academy.

For Mr. Elkaim, the path to correct understanding was not easy as theres just too much information about health and nutrition these days a lot of them even contradict each other, hence creating great confusion for those who are looking for the most effective ways to lose weight, gain more energy and really improve their overall health. When it comes to working with available information, he says, The solution isnt more information but the right information, and people should learn to be selective of the information they consume as with the food they eat.

Through the well-researched and scientifically-backed bite-sized health and nutrition lessons (developed through 13 years of research and over 1,000 hours of additional research) Mr. Elkaim provides through the Super Nutrition Academy, anyone can become their own health master. At a very affordable fee, they can gain a better understanding of how their body and food interact and thats really what would create a change in their bodies and attitude towards their food choices, preparation and intake.

Many of the worlds most respected health and nutrition professionals laud the lessons and their efficacy. Sean Croxton, founder of Underground Wellness and author of Dark Side of Fat Loss, raves about the program: Yuri (err, Professor) Elkaim has put together an online curriculum loaded with truth bombs. And best of all, this course is structured with everyone in mind. Even I learned a lot while going through the modules! Meanwhile, Jeff Anderson , Founder & Editor of Do This Be Fit Publications says, Hands down, Yuri is my go-to guru when it comes to uncovering the secrets of natural nutrition and achieving an enlightened state of health-consciousness. Ive always prided myself on living a fit lifestyle, but each time I speak with Yuri, I learn something new that allows me to tweak my own personal wellness plan a little bit more and reap the rewards his extensive knowledge has gifted me.

With these reviews, Mr. Elkaim is definitely doing things right and he continues to share his expert knowledge about a wide range of health topics like the dangers of sugar, juicing benefits, common food allergies and so much more.
