Your skin isn't the only thing that needs sun protection.

UV rays can also affect your eyes, and the damage can add up over time. Long term UV exposure has been linked to eye conditions including cataracts and growths on or near the eye.

The good news? Protecting your eyes can be as simple as choosing the right pair of sunglasses.

When shopping for shades, look for 99% to 100% UVA and UVB protection or a label that says UV400. And don't assume darker lenses offer better protection. The UV protection comes from the lens treatment, not how dark the sunglasses look.

For even more coverage, choose larger or wraparound frames and pair them with a wide brimmed hat. 😎

So before your next sunny day in Pawleys Island, remember: sunscreen for your skin, sunglasses for your eyes!

🍎 Cholesterol plays an important role in your body, but having too much of certain types can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.

The good news? Your everyday habits can make a difference. Choosing unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats can help lower LDL cholesterol, while soluble fiber found in foods like oats, beans, apples, and vegetables can reduce cholesterol absorption. Regular physical activity can also help improve your cholesterol profile.

And perhaps most importantly: know your numbers. High cholesterol usually doesn't cause noticeable symptoms, so you can feel perfectly healthy and still have elevated levels. A simple blood test can measure your LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.

If lifestyle changes aren't enough, cholesterol lowering medications may also be recommended based on your individual cardiovascular risk. Always take them as prescribed and talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have questions.

☀️ Heat stroke is more than simply getting too hot.

Heat stroke occurs when the body can no longer effectively control its temperature. As body temperature rises, the brain and other vital organs can be affected, making this a potentially life threatening emergency.

One of the most important things to watch for is a change in mental state. Confusion, unusual behavior, or difficulty communicating can signal that someone needs immediate help.

🚨 If you suspect heat stroke, call 911. Move the person to a cooler area and begin cooling them with cool water, wet towels, or cold packs while waiting for emergency care.

Knowing the signs shown above and acting quickly can make a critical difference.

🚶 How much of your day do you spend sitting?

Sedentary time means the hours we spend sitting or lying down while awake, and research suggests that too much of it may pose particular risks for older adults who are frail and physically inactive.

Long periods of inactivity can contribute to loss of muscle strength, reduced mobility, poorer circulation, and difficulty maintaining independence over time. For frail adults, these changes can be especially important.

The good news is that movement doesn't have to mean a strenuous workout. Breaking up long periods of sitting by standing, walking around the house, or doing gentle movements throughout the day can help you stay more active.

The goal isn't necessarily to exercise harder. Sometimes, it's simply to sit less and move more.

If you have limited mobility or a health condition, talk with your healthcare provider about safe ways to incorporate more movement into your day.

🍽️ When your prescription says "Take with food," there's a reason.

Many medications include this instruction because food can:

✔ Help reduce stomach irritation, especially with medications that can be harsh on an empty stomach.
✔ Help prevent nausea by making certain medications easier on your stomach.
✔ Improve absorption, helping your body get the full benefit of certain medications.
✔ Help certain medications work as intended, since some rely on food, particularly dietary fat, for proper absorption.

Keep in mind that not all medications should be taken with food. Some actually work best on an empty stomach, which is why it's important to follow the directions on your prescription label.

Not sure whether you should take a medication with food or on an empty stomach? Stop by Pawleys Island Pharmacy. We're always happy to answer your questions and help you get the most from your medications.

Feeling energized isn't the same as being well rested. ⚡️

Many people reach for an energy drink when they feel tired, but the temporary boost in alertness can come with effects you don't immediately notice. Research suggests that energy drinks may temporarily raise blood pressure and increase the body's stress hormone response, even in healthy young adults.

Feeling constantly drained isn't always a sign that you need more caffeine. Poor sleep, dehydration, stress, and poor nutrition can all play a role, and masking fatigue may not address the underlying cause.

If you regularly rely on energy drinks to get through the day, it may be worth taking a closer look at what your body is trying to tell you.
