On a more serious note it is also Melanoma Monday, something I didn't know until this morning. This is what you should know:
Who gets melanoma?
People of all colors and races get melanoma. Those with light skin who sunburn easily are at higher risk. If you have any of the following risk factors, you need to take extra caution in protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun:

History of sunburn
Family history of skin cancer
Exposure to X-rays
Use of tanning beds or sunlamps

What does melanoma look like?

Melanoma often develops in a mole or appears suddenly as a new dark spot on the skin. Be on the lookout for changes in moles, and if you see irregular edges or unusual colors in a mole, schedule a visit with your medical practice right away. Catching melanoma early (before it can spread) is key to stopping it. Even though melanoma can be deadly, survival rates can be greater than 90% when treated early.

Tips to help prevent melanoma:
Wear broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more on exposed skin
Cover up with a hat and clothing
Stay in the shade when possible, especially 10am-4pm when the sun’s rays are the strongest
Protect children from sun exposure by playing in the shade, wearing protective clothing and applying sunscreen
Avoid tanning beds, which can cause skin cancer and wrinkling
Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice any skin changes, skin growths or bleeding on your skin, see a Water’s Edge Dermatology practitioner immediately

Thanks go to Waters Edge Dermatology, in the USA for the information.

Health Matters.
Pain tolerance

In some recently published research, Anders Pedersen Årnes , PT, MPH, research fellow and advisor at the University Hospital of North Norway, affiliated with the University of Tromsø, observed that regular exercise may raise the threshold for pain tolerance in people suffering with chronic pain.

The study involved more than 10,000 people over an eight year time span. There were a number of conclusions drawn from the study; those who consistently took part in moderate to vigorous exercise regimens benefited the most. It was also noted that even light exercise had a beneficial knock-on effect. Ultimately, anything is better than nothing and regular activity is better that occasional bouts.

Hope this helps. If it doesn’t, we are here to do the hands-on bit to get you to where you want to be
