All Nevada Insurance Summer Tips

The weather outside is beautiful – but protect your skin before heading out!

It’s natural to enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities in the summer. After all, the warmer weather brings the perfect opportunities to hit the beach, play in the pool, or hike the hills. Whatever your beloved summer activity is, prepping your skin for the sun’s rays is imperative during the hottest season.

 

Follow these sun safety tips to help prevent serious skin damage, and possibly skin cancer!

 

  • Sun Protection: Apply a sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or higher whenever you’re outdoors. Use a lotion that has broad spectrum protection, which means protection against both UVA and UVB rays. For children, apply a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
  • Stay Covered: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading out in the sunshine, and reapply after sweating excessively or taking a dip in the ocean!
  • Layer Up: Wear a hat with a wide brim and sunglasses to shield your eyes and face from direct sunlight. Choose lightweight and long clothing to cover exposed skin, too!
  • Stay Shady: Head indoors or stay in the shade during midday, when it’s hottest outside and the sun’s rays are at their most intense. The chance of burning sky-rockets during this time, so be sure to find shade where you can.
  • Bottoms Up: Stay hydrated during the summertime! Drinking enough water is essential for almost every body function, so don’t skimp on the ice and water this season. Keep a bottle of water in your car, your bag, and be sure to take plenty if you’re heading out for the day. This includes bringing enough water for your pets, too!

Get Involved During Lyme Disease Awareness Month

Posted on by TheSph3r3
Lyme Disease Awareness Month

May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month.

May is recognized throughout the world as dedicated to raising awareness about Lyme Disease. Supported by the Lyme Disease Foundation, Lyme Disease Awareness Month is a campaign which promotes preventative measures that can (and should) be taken against this illness.

This illness is a potentially life-altering disease that is caused by bacteria, transmitted from the bite of a tick. Unfortunately, the incidence of Lyme disease is on the rise throughout the Western Hemisphere, as tick populations are expanding due to climate change.

Symptoms

This disease is often misdiagnosed. Early symptoms include a rash, fever, headaches, and fatigue. Should these symptoms be overlooked and the disease left untreated, then fatigue, mental health issues, arthritis and chronic encephalomyelitis can arise. As with many diseases, treatment is more effective if Lyme Disease is diagnosed early.

The Need for This Awareness Month

Due to climate change, the number of reported cases of Lyme Disease has steadily increased. May is dedicated to educating both the young and old about Lyme Disease and how they can take steps to prevent it. People who visit wooded areas, where ticks that carry the disease live, are encouraged to wear protective clothing and inspect their pets for ticks, too.

You can get involved during Lyme Disease Awareness Month in different ways:

  • Organize walks to raise funds for research on the disease
  • Attend a show of the Lyme documentary: Under Our Skin
  • Write letters to your local paper
  • Share information via social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) or tell your story through a YouTube video
  • Observe billboards which will be popping up in Wisconsin

Let us know how you are getting involved during this disease awareness month. So that you can focus on bettering your health and lifestyle, let All Nevada Insurance take care of your insurance needs. Contact us in Las Vegas, Nevada today!

Are Your Office Snacks Healthy?

Make these simple swaps in your office for a healthy and nutritious snack.

Each business should take active steps in setting their employees up for success. From training to materials, to allowing the right breaks, employees are entitled to get set up to do their job to the best of their abilities.

Thus, if you’re supplying your staff with junk food and sugar, this will stunt and inhibit their cognitive function to do their job at the best efficiency. Here are some simple snack swaps that your office needs to make today!

Donate or throw away:

  • Sugary drinks – Full of chemicals that don’t benefit your body at all, these bottles of pop belong in the trash.
  • Donuts – With no nutritional value, skip the box of donuts for a piece of fruit!
  • Chocolate and sweets – After a sugar rush of a chocolate bar or a bag of candy, your employees will come down from the high feeling lethargic and sluggish.

Replace with:

  • Bottled water – everyone needs hydration!
  • Almonds – great source of protein and is extremely sustaining.
  • Fresh fruit – packed with vitamins and minerals, these sweet beauties will keep your employees satisfied.
  • Dried fruit – mix things up with dried apricots, apple slices, and banana chips. They are sweet, high in fiber, and high in potassium.
  • Protein bar – stock up on only the natural bars that have fewer than 200 calories.
  • Pretzels – salty, low in fat, and will hold any employee over until lunch or dinner.
  • Frozen banana – a medium-sized banana contains the needed amount of glucose for optimum brain function.
  • Apples and peanut butter – apples provide fiber and carbs for energy while the peanut butter provides healthy monounsaturated fat and protein, which stabilizes blood sugar ups and downs.

Now that your team is geared up for success, don’t let a lawsuit, accident or financial set back stand in your businesses way! Contact All Nevada Insurance, serving all areas of Las Vegas, Nevada, for all of your commercial insurance needs.
