With summer time fast approaching, many people are getting ready to enjoy a little sun bathing, or baking as the case may be.  And this might be just the problem.  According to researchers, a recent study reveals that despite years and years of education on the risks of skin cancer, very few Americans engage in safe sun exposure.

As summer is quickly coming to an end you may be trying to soak up the last of the rays and enjoy the sun while you can. While a little sun can be good for you, too much can do lots of harm to your skin.

With summer in full force, it is important to be mindful when exercising in the heat. Heat cramps, dehydration, dizziness heat exhaustion and even heat stroke can be brought about by overexerting yourself in summer temperatures. Heat stroke is a form of hypothermia where the body has an abnormally high temperature. It can be fatal and even lead to death.
