5 things to note if you want to prevent the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays
(Baonghean.vn) - Ultraviolet radiation (UV) and other radiations in sunlight are very harmful when we stay outdoors for a long time during peak hours. To avoid their harmful effects on the body, you need to pay attention to the following.
 |
| When going out in the sun, you should wear clothes that cover as much of your body as possible. The types of clothes you should use are long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and knee-length skirts. Dark-colored clothes usually protect your body better than light-colored clothes. Use thick, dry fabrics to wear. |
 |
| Sunscreen helps protect the body from ultraviolet rays but cannot block all UV rays. Therefore, you should not apply sunscreen to prolong the time outside in the sun. Focus on applying on the arms, legs, neck, and face. After 2 hours, you need to reapply. |
 |
| A wide-brimmed hat helps protect areas that are frequently exposed to intense sunlight such as ears, eyes, forehead, nose, scalp, etc., thereby helping to block UV rays more effectively. |
 |
| Sunglasses that block ultraviolet rays are extremely important to protect the delicate skin around the eyes. Many studies have also shown that not wearing sunglasses continuously in the sun will lead to very dangerous eye diseases. Therefore, when buying sunglasses, the most important parameter is how effective the UV protection of the glasses is. |
 |
| You need to have a plan to protect your health from the inside out by preventing UV rays from reaching your skin and reducing the harmful effects of UV rays inside your body. A reasonable diet will help you prevent the harmful effects of this type of ray. Tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, green tea, olive oil, red bell peppers, kale, and salmon are foods that help fight UV rays. |
