From the beach to the pool, camp to the playground, hiking trail to the Slip 'n Slide -summer means high-energy play for kids set free from school. Keep on hand a stash of cooling, nutritious snacks to satisfy ravenous appetites and picky palates.
It's summer, go ahead- wear those cool shades! If not just for vanities sake but the sake of your eyes! During the summer months, the level of ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) is at least three times higher than during the winter months. Studies indicate that spending long hours in the sun (take heed- farmers, boaters, construction workers, beach lovers!), without eye protection, can damage your eyes by contributing to cataracts and growths on the eye, including cancer.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, you should always wear "sunglasses offering 100 percent UV absorption and are of the best optical quality and impact resistant." Look for the "100% UV Protection" label when shopping for sunglasses and don't forget a hip brimmed hat to add even more protection for eyes and face.
