Come See Us For Your Home Health Care Needs BELOW KNEE STOCKINGS MEDICAL COMPRESSION STOCKINGS DIABETIC SOCKS Smartphones are a signifi cant part of life in the 21st century. According to the technology, data and analytics experts at Zenith, in 2019 the average American adult spent three hours and 30 minutes using mobile internet every day, with estimates suggesting that number could increase to more than four hours per day by 2021. It's no secret that many people struggle when it comes to putting down their smartphones. The secret lies in learning how to unplug from smartphones, especially for the millions of people who are spending untold hours on such devices every day. A strong will to put smartphones down can help people do just that, and some additional strategies might make it easier to unplug as well. • Keep your phone in another room. Many people are drawn to their smartphones by a seemingly endless stream of notifi cations. The addictive nature of notifi cations is debatable, but blaming notifi cations and merely turning them off may not be as effective a means to reducing smartphone reliance as you think. A 2020 study by researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science found that 89 percent of interactions with phones were unprompted. That suggests people are simply picking up their phones even when notifi cations or incoming calls aren't making them do so. Keeping a phone in another room when dining, reading a book, engaging with family members, or participating in other activities can help people avoid that familiar urge to pick up their phone. • Utilize apps to curtail your usage. Various apps allow users to block their own access to other apps and websites. These apps, which include Flipd and Freedom, are designed to help smartphone users regain productivity they might have lost due to their smartphone usage. The apps can be utilized in various ways, and one such way is to restrict access to games and websites during the workday. They also can be used to restrict access during family time or other hours of the day when people don't want to be distracted by the internet. • Set up auto reply. Many professionals set up out-of-offi ce messages to notify colleagues and clients when they're on vacation or engaging in projects that will prevent them from answering emails. The same principle can be applied to text messages. According to a 2019 survey from CTIA, which has tracked the evolution of the United States wireless industry since 1985, two trillion text messages were exchanged in 2019. That's a lot of messages, and texting is a signifi cant reason why so many people have problems putting down their phones. An automatic response informing friends, family and colleagues that you're away from your phone can be a great way to spend less time texting. Strategies to spend less time on your smartphone Smartphone usage is on the rise, even among people who want to put their phones down more often. Such users can try various approaches to spend less time on their phones. DRIVE-IN THEATRE 704-434-7782 • 3935 SUNSET BLVD., SHELBY SUNSET Check Us Out On Facebook!

Such an approach can help people look their bes0 and also uncover any minor issues before they escalate into something more signifi cant. National Geographic says adults can carry eight pounds and 22 square feet of skin on their bodies. Skin guards a person from harmful chemicals, protects the body against extremes in temperature and prevents internal organs and other components from evaporating. The skin also guards against harmful sunlight. Skin care is not seasonal, though efforts to protect the skin may need to be stepped up during the summer. The American Academy of Dermatology says one in fi ve Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetimes. In the summer, ultraviolet radiation levels are elevated and people often wear less clothing that exposes more of their skin. According to Dr. Ron Shelton, a board-certifi ed dermatologist and assistant professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, the bulk of sun damage to the skin happens in the summer. These skin wellness tips can help protect the skin and keep it looking its best when the mercury rises. Lighten up: Choose lightweight products for summer usage. This includes cleansers, makeup and oil cleansers. For instance, rather than an oil cleanser, choose a gentle, foaming option. Thicker products mixed with increased perspiration and humidity may lead to clogged pores and infl ammation. Lather on sunscreen: Sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more is recommended to protect the skin from UV damage. But it's easy to forget to apply sunscreen. However, using a lightweight moisturizer with SPF built in reduces product usage and time spent caring for skin. Utilize vitamin C serums: Hyperpigmentation can occur in summer. According to Omer Ibrahim, a board- certifi ed dermatologist and codirector of clinical research at Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, vitamin C serum can improve the appearance of fi ne lines, help with collagen production and also prevent hyperpigmentation. Drink more water: Higher temperatures and increased perspiration can lead to dehydration. That may cause headaches, dry skin and even lightheadedness. Drink at least eight eight-ounce glasses of water every day. Stay in the shade: In addition to using sunscreen daily, try to stay out of the sun as much as possible when UV rays are at their strongest, which is between 10am and 2pm. In addition, wear clothing that offers sunscreen protection. Essential summer skin care tips
