If you’re hoping to travel this winter, do so with these health tips. Dr. Margaret Lewin, the medical director at Cinergy Health, wants to make sure that you stay healthy whether you’re on the slopes, in the sun, or somewhere in between.
Don’t go outside without a good sunscreen. Sun exposure puts you at risk for skin cancers, and can also be a major cause of premature wrinkles. If you’re out skiing, the combination of high altitudes and reflected light from the snow offers very damaging UVA and UVB rays.
If you’re planning to have an active trip, says the Cinergy Health medical director, make sure to get in shape beforehand. Concentrate on exercises that protect your knees, hips and your balance and make sure that you’re ready for the adventures ahead!
