Sunscreen For Summer 2023!

Sunscreen_Summer_TMC.jpg
Sunscreen This Summer

The sun is great especially for getting your source of vitamin D although during summer our Australian sun can be extremely harmful to us. This is why taking precautions over the summer holidays should be made to decrease the risk of sun damage. In this blog we will be talking about sunscreen and why it should be used!

Why Sunscreen?

Sunscreen is a fantastic way to keep covered by the sun! Studies show that uv rays find it hard to penetrate the skin and cause damage to the areas open to the sun. Sunscreen also stops you from getting burnt and significantly decreases your chances of developing skin cancers whilst being out in the sun having fun!

What Other Ways Protect Me From The Sun?

– Wearing a sun hat (bucket or brimmed hats)

– Wearing ling sleeve rash vests to the beach

– Finding shade outside 

– Using tents and umbrellas at the beach

– Avoiding extremely hot days in the daytime

– Wearing Sunglasses

Remember spending time outdoors is great but only if you are doing it responsibly! Keep yourself in check when it comes to being SunSmart and be sure to stay hydrated over the Summer period!

Top 3 Ground Sports For Summer 2023!

Summer Tennis

Some of us love to go sightseeing and do things that require little to no equipment! Our bodies are designed to exert energy and power without needing assistance from a secondary source. Unlike water sport activities we don’t need to be weary of the dangers of going to deep or far past our comfort zones, although watching out for inclines and hidden potholes can be quite the problem!

Summer doesn’t have to be spent in the water it just has to be enjoyable for you! Water phobia is a real thing but even if you don’t suffer from it here are some fantastic ways to engage in some form of exercise over the Summer of 2023!

1- Walking/Running – This is the best way to exert energy and build up your stamina over a period of time by creating a training protocol. You don’t have to be a strong runner or even fit to get yourself started. Training in simple intervals such as, running 5 minutes and walking 5 minutes and repeating is a great way to get started!

2- Tennis – The Australian Open is around the corner and let’s be honest this a fantastic way to get you out and about for a social game with some friends! No matter the skill set tennis is a sport that can be played by all ages. If you are worried about not being as good as  you first thought, get yourself a coach and maybe join the local club to get yourself going for this Summer 2023!

3- Bike Riding/Hiking – Both are great, one requires the use of equipment the other does not, but the great thing about it all is that it gets you up and moving. The great thing about hiking this summer is having the ability to travel to new places and see new things. It doesnt have to be a wild goose chase, it just has to be something that is comfortable for you! Bike Riding on the other hand is a less strenuous exercise as it requires less pressure onto the joints although is still a fantastic way to mobilise the hips!

Remember when engaging in any type of sport to keep yourself hydrated and slip slop slap over this summer! Sunscreen does more than just protect us from getting burnt, it can save our lives!

If you are currently experiencing any strains, sprains or back pains and are looking to put a stop to it, our team at The Melbourne Chiropractor at ready to get you sorted over this summer period!

Top 3 Water Sports For Better Health This Summer 2023!

TMC-Water-Sports_jpg
What Are The Best Water Sports?

Water Sports are a great way of getting outdoors! Not only can they be quite challenging but they require a particular skillset that helps with mind/body connection. Water is also buoyant and can help decrease the pressure on the bodies joints as well as enabling for pain free movement in arthritic joints.

Being aware of your surroundings and taking into consideration your limits around water beforehand will help decrease the chances of injury and risk.

Top 3 Water Sports For Summer 2023!

1- Rowing – This is not only a great exercise for the back but uts quite strenuous on the cardiovascular system! This means that endurance plays a key factor in being able to move through the water for a period of time. Having the ability to train multiple areas of the body at once is a great way of getting started on your fitness journey and don’t forget to stay hydrated whilst doing it!

2- Swimming – Any type of swimming is a great start to improving your health and wellbeing. Be sure to have experience in swimming before travelling to far deep into water. If you are in a public pool stay within your limits and use a stroke that you do well without over exerting yourself!

3- Surfing – This is a great water sport if you are confident with waves and are already a strong swimmer. This requires not only to be able to swim through tough waters but also get onto a board and balance yourself without falling. This is allot to learn for beginners and usually the best way to get started would be getting a trainer or attending a group class to learn the ways of a seasoned surfer!

If you feel that water sports are not your thing there are always great ways to spend your summer on land based activities!
