How To Take Care Of Your Skin

By Rey Vetangelo


Reparative and correctional surgeries are common for children, but this does not make them any less scary for either the parent or the child. The only consolation is that a scheduled surgery gives parents the opportunity to prepare both themselves and their child for the upcoming procedure.

One of the main things vitamin D does for our bodies is help our intestines to absorb nutrients more easily. This helps the digestion process to run more smoothly and also helps bones to grow stronger and more resilient. High levels of vitamin D also help contribute to overall stronger bones and teeth. This helps shield against diseases like osteomalacia and arthritis. Vitamin D also greatly helps to reduce stress in the body by keeping blood pressure at a healthy rate. It regulates your blood pressure so it does not get too high or too low.

Most people need about 10-15 minutes of sun exposure a day so their skin can absorb the vitamin D it needs. Any sun exposure beyond that does actually damage your skin. This damage is very gradual, and the effects only show over a long period of time. A way to combat this is to wear sunscreen whenever you are outside for long periods.

Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 15, but preferably higher. Reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours. You should reapply the sunscreen more often if you are swimming or sweating. It is also important to remember to try to be under a shaded area as much as you can while you are outside under the sun.

Most modern surgical procedures can be done as same-day procedures and allow the child to be taken home the same day. Some, however, will still require that the child stay at the hospital for a day or two for recovery and observation.

An additional way to get enough vitamin D is to eat foods that contain vitamin D. Unfortunately, not very many foods contain this crucial vitamin. The foods that do contain decent amounts of vitamin D are fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel. There are also fairly decent amounts of vitamin D in cheese and egg yolks.

Smoking is also very detrimental for your skin for many reasons. Smoking increases wrinkles and in general, makes you look older. Smoking also contributes to the narrowing of blood vessels in your skin, which serves to decrease blood flow. This lower blood flow makes it so nutrients cannot travel around your body as quickly, and so your body is not getting the nutrients it needs.

It is important for people to try to stay as healthy as possible, so they can have a high quality of life. Healthy people tend to need expensive and painful operations, like electro surgery, much less often.

By so doing the parent will be able to soothe the anxiety and nervousness that the child may have concerning their upcoming surgery.
