Protection from the Sun’s Deadly Rays


Protection from the Sun’s Deadly Rays

From Alternatives Newsletter Summer 2008

More than one million skin cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.  That's more than cancers of the prostate, breast, lung, colon, uterus, ovaries, and pancreas combined.  Most skin cancer is caused by too much exposure to ultra-violet rays, according to Dr. Patricia Ryan, founder of Alternatives:  A Center for Conscious Health.

“That’s not the only damage the sun can do,” Dr. Ryan noted.  “Did you know the sun and UV rays have the greatest impact on how our skin ages?  From 85 to 90 percent of visible signs of aging are caused by the sun.”

Alternatives: A Center for Conscious Health, has many types of sunscreens available from organic lotions and minerals to prescription strength varieties with anti-aging ingredients.  Call 402-827-9450 to find out more, or stop by the clinic at 11036 Oak St.
