Enjoy a healthy summer!

If you and your family plan on spending plenty of time outdoors this summer, don’t forget to protect yourself from the sun’s damaging rays. In this issue of Women’s Health Today, you’ll read about the difference between UVA and UVB rays, the protection sunscreens can give you and how to stay safe (“Skin type your sunscreen,” page 17).

After you’ve slathered on the sunscreen, fire up the grill and turn on the blender to prepare a delicious meal for your family and guests. Avoid that oven and enjoy healthy gazpacho, fruit salad with quinoa and grilled pork with vegetables (“Can’t stand the heat?,” page 14).

Summer is a great time for family fun, but don’t forget to make time for yourself, too. Read about single mom and award-winning singer and actress Vanessa Williams’ tips for staying calm and grounded (“Enjoying the simple pleasures,” page 8). Stress can interfere with your good health, but Williams has discovered that the small things in life can ease her stress. Her strategies for stress-free living just might inspire you to find your own “simple pleasures.”

Women’s Health Today gives you up-to-date, accurate and easy to understand health information. I’d love to hear from you; please let me know what topics you’d like to read about in future issues.

Sincerely,
Mickey M. Karam, MD
