🌟 Wednesday Care Tip from Carousel of Home Care 🌟

Taking care of yourself means protecting your skin every day, not just at the beach! Here’s why sunscreen is essential, especially during the sunny summer months:

- Prevents sunburn: Even short periods of sun exposure can cause burns, especially between 10a.m. and 4p.m. when rays are strongest.

- Reduces skin cancer risk: Regular sunscreen use is one of the best ways to lower your chances of developing skin cancer by blocking harmful UV rays.

- Slows skin aging: Sunscreen protects against premature wrinkles, age spots, and loss of skin elasticity often caused by sun damage.

- Protection for all skin types: Sunscreen isn’t just for light skin; everyone, regardless of skin tone, benefits from daily sun protection.

By making sunscreen a daily habit, you can help to ensure your skin stays healthy and radiant all year long!

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip from Carousel of Home Care 🌟

Breakfast is more than just a meal, it’s the fuel your body and mind need to start the day strong. Skipping breakfast can leave you feeling sluggish and unfocused, while a balanced breakfast can boost your energy, mood, and overall health.

Why Breakfast Matters:
- Jumpstarts your metabolism for the day ahead.
- Improves concentration and memory, especially important for work or school.
- Helps maintain a healthy weight by curbing mid-morning hunger.

What Makes a Nutritious Breakfast?
- When choosing your morning meal, aim for foods that are:
- High in protein (e.g., protein smoothie, certain yogurts, nut butters)
- Rich in fiber (e.g., whole grains, fruits, vegetables)
- Nutrient-dense (packed with vitamins and minerals, like berries, leafy greens, or nuts)
- Low in added sugar (skip sugary cereals and pastries)

💡 How to ACT F.A.S.T. to Recognize a Stroke

Did you know that recognizing the signs of a stroke quickly can save a life and reduce the risk of long-term disability? This week, Melissa, our Director of Nursing, shares a crucial tip: Learn the ACT F.A.S.T. protocol to spot a stroke fast and take action!

Here’s how you can remember the signs:

*F – Face Drooping: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop or look uneven?
*A – Arm Weakness: Have the person raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward or feel weak?
*S – Speech Difficulty: Ask them to repeat a simple sentence. Is their speech slurred or strange?
*T – Time to Call 911: If you notice any of these signs, call 911 right away. Time lost is brain lost!

Every minute counts during a stroke. Acting F.A.S.T. can make all the difference for your loved one’s recovery.

Stay informed, stay prepared, and share this tip to help others recognize a stroke and ACT F.A.S.T.!
