Hats are here to stay

Hats are here to stay   The hat is once again on the fashion scene and the reason may be due to the sharp rise in skin cancer known as melanoma, the clashes of well-known types of skin cancer. Prior to 1950, melanoma was rarely diagnosed. In recent years, this disease has a dramatic increase in the age group under 40. It seems that the year enjoying the sun during the warmer months, without a hat had its toll on our health, and finally we have the functional purpose of the hat. Scientists had planned for many years that the effect of increased ultraviolet radiation on earth, through the hole in the ozone layer would have a wide range of effects on the human immune system and a devastating effect on the skin. Clinical studies have shown that the passing of the sun can take years to showup with the effects in the form of premature aging, age spots or liver and / or skin cancer. Wear hats that shade for your face, neck and ears, can play an important role in the prevention of the effects of the sun on the skin. The American Cancer Society and the Institute of tumors of the skin indicates that a hat circle 2 pm p.m. 4 inches is sufficient shade from the sun - a wider margin, but can lead to better protection for all those who have experienced a ready form of skin cancer. For a hat for maximum protection from the sun, there should be close to a material, usually straw or fabric. Especially hats for sun protection - such as the Legionaries, a safari hat, he outback - has been around for years and was to protect the head and face from the sun. Most of us in connection with these hats certain professions and geographic locations with warmer climates. We now know that it is no longer geography plays a role in practice, if you tu on enough sunscreen. The excuses we have in the past to justify not wearing a hat is no longer valid. As you continue to erode the ozone layer with oil and emissions of fossil fuels, UV radiation continue to increase and we will see an even greater increase in the number of people with skin cancer. It is no longer important, if hats are in style or not. Wearing a hat is an investment in our future prosperity.
