Die son is \u2019n belangrike bron van lig en hitte, maar dit kan ook gevaarlik wees as ons nie onsself behoorlik daarteen beskerm nie. <\/p>\n
Hierdie stelling is veral waar in Suid-Afrika, waar die son intens en skadelik kan wees, veral gedurende die somermaande. Dit is hoekom dit so belangrik is om sonskerm te dra waar ook al jy aan die son blootgestel gaan word.<\/p>\n
Linda Erasmus (57) van Worcester moes sowat ses jaar gelede \u2019n duur les oor die son en die impak daarvan leer. Velkanker is einde 2016 by haar gediagnoseer en sy moes n\u00e1 chemoterapie \u2019n kopskuif maak oor die blootstelling wat sy haar liggaam aan die son gee.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs kind het ons nooit eintlik oor die gevare van die son geleer nie. Ons het ook nie oor velkanker gepraat nie, maar ek was bewus oor uitlatings deur medici. Ek was nog altyd lief vir die son en lief vir my bruin gelaat, danksy blootstelling aan die son. Ek sou altyd ure in die son deurbring, maar dit moes drasties verander,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n
In 2016 het Erasmus agtergekom dat sy lelike vlekke op haar lyf begin ontwikkel. Haar moesies het ook vermeerder en dit was konstant rooi. Sy het toe \u2019n dokter gaan raadpleeg en is vir \u2019n magdom toetse gestuur.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk sou nooit in my wildste drome kon dink dat dit kanker is nie. Ek was geskok toe my dokter my laat weet dit is inderdaad so en hulle sal behandeling moet toepas. Dit was \u2019n stryd vir meer as nege maande en dit het my lewe onherroeplik verander.\u201d<\/p>\n
Erasmus meen dat sy \u2019n totale ommekeer moes deurgaan om aan te pas by wat haar lyf nodig gehad het. Sy het die belangrikheid van \u2019n sonskerm leer verstaan en \u2019n kursus in kankervoorkoming gedoen om ander in te lig oor die gevare. Sy probeer ook om minder as 30 minute per dag blootstelling aan die son te kry.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn die eerste plek help die dra van sonskerm om jou vel teen die skadelike effekte van die son se UV-strale te beskerm. Hierdie strale kan ernstige skade aan jou vel veroorsaak, insluitend sonbrand, voortydige veroudering en \u2019n verhoogde risiko van velkanker. Deur sonskerm te dra, kan jy help om hierdie negatiewe effekte te voorkom en jou vel gesond te laat lyk en voel,\u201d voeg sy by.<\/p>\n
Sonskerm is ook belangrik omdat dit help om velverkleuring en donker kolle te voorkom. Die son kan veroorsaak dat jou vel donkerder word en \u2019n ongelyke kleurtoon word, wat veral op die gesig, arms en bene opvallend kan wees. Deur sonskerm te dra, kan jy help om hierdie verkleuring en donker kolle te voorkom, en dit hou jou vel glad en egalig.<\/p>\n
\u201cBenewens die beskerming van jou vel, is die dra van sonskerm ook belangrik vir jou algemene gesondheid en welstand. Die son se UV-strale is gekoppel aan verskeie ernstige gesondheidsprobleme, insluitend katarakte, makul\u00eare degenerasie en velkanker. Deur sonskerm te dra, kan jy help om jou risiko vir hierdie gesondheidsprobleme te verminder en jouself gesond te hou.\u201d <\/p>\n
Die dra van sonskerm is ook belangrik vir diegene wat baie tyd in die buitelug deurbring, soos atlete en buitelug-entoesiaste. Vir hierdie individue kan die son besonder skadelik wees, veral as hulle aan aktiwiteite soos branderplankry en voetslaan deelneem.<\/p>\n
Dit is ook belangrik om daarop te let dat die dra van sonskerm nie net vir die somer geld nie. Die son kan jou vel die hele jaar deur skade berokken, en dit is belangrik om jouself teen die skadelike gevolge daarvan te beskerm, selfs gedurende die kouer maande. Dus, of jy nou op die strand is, sport beoefen of bloot tyd buite deurbring, dit is altyd \u2019n goeie idee om sonskerm te dra.<\/p>\n
\u201cTen slotte, die dra van sonskerm is \u2019n belangrike stap om jou vel en algemene gesondheid teen die skadelike effekte van die son te beskerm. Of jy nou \u2019n strandganger, atleet of bloot iemand is wat baie tyd in die buitelug deurbring, dit is belangrik om sonskerm te dra om te help om jou vel en liggaam gesond te hou en teen die son se skadelike strale te beskerm. Moet nie die son onderskat nie en volg eerder my raad \u2013 velkanker is nie \u2019n plesier nie,\u201d s\u00ea Erasmus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
