Application of sunscreen products before going outside helps protect our skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Ultraviolet rays cause skin cancer and early skin aging.
PREVENTION
There are medicines that keep people from getting sick in the first place. These includes vaccine and immunizations. They are usually given as shots. They help prevent people from catching serious illness such as polio, hepatitis, chickenpox, measles and flu.
Vaccines are weakend germs that are injected into the body that cause the immune system to produce antibodies. These antibodies will fight the germs that cause disease. The next time your body encounters the same kind of germs, the antibodies will already be present and prepared to fight the germs and so the body will not get sick.
