It is Summertime for most AFSPA members, and that means more time spent in the sun. While we all enjoy our time outdoors, it is essential to remember to protect our skin from the sun.
Most of us look forward to beach days, backyard BBQs, and soaking up the sun when summer comes around. As outdoor activities increase, understanding the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation has become essential for maintaining the health of your skin this summer. Each year, July is observed as UV Safety Awareness Month, which serves as a reminder of the harmful effects of sun exposure and the importance of skin protection.
As you go about your day this summer, you may notice a coworker with the sniffles or a person on the bus with a cough. Flu season is during the fall and winter, and while it is possible to catch the flu during the summer, this seems different. Most viruses die down during the summer months. So, is it the flu? Allergies? Or is it a summer cold?
At AFSPA, we are dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of our members. This includes highlighting chronic conditions, such as migraines and headaches, that can affect an individual’s quality of life. This Month, we are shedding light on National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month.
For many men, annual health checkups fall into the “I’ll get to it later” category—until something serious forces them to act. But skipping routine care can mean missing the early signs of chronic conditions that are far easier to manage when caught early.
In May, we celebrate Mental Health Awareness and Women’s Health Month. This is a time to recognize the physical and mental health challenges women face after giving birth. At AFSPA, we are committed to promoting the well-being of our members, and this month, we’re spotlighting an often overlooked but critically important issue, which is postpartum mental health.
