Hello its Peter here and welcome to todays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well. I hope youll be able to join me tonight, BBC One at 6.30pm. Its going to be a very hot day. There are rumours that records will be broken as temperatures reach into the thirties and to celebrate the fact that its going to be the hottest day of the year, well not only the year, but possibly for the last twenty years, were going to be doing the programme live tonight from Sewerby Hall near Bridlington. If youre in the area then go along to Sewerby Hall this evening and join me on BBC One at 6.30pm. Also well be reporting on all the activities at the Driffield Show where over 30,000 visitors are expected. And well be finding out how the hot weather affects our coastguards when we go out and about with the Hornsea Inshore Rescue team. Well hear the remarkable story of the boy who is allergic to sunlight and well be at RAF Waddington which is likely to be one of the hottest places in! the country today. And Paul will have the forecast.
Sun cream We were talking about sun cream last night, the reasons why we need to be covered up at this time of the year. Ive just been reading an article which says sun cream is good but dont rub it in too much; if you do then it is no good. You have to just dab it on. This story made the front page of a newspaper yesterday. Rubbing sun cream into the skin drastically reduces its effectiveness according to the expert. Protection against dangerous radiation linked to skin cancers and premature ageing is cut to almost zero. The risk of damage can actually be increased because the cream still stops the skin burning encouraging people to lie in the sun for longer. Alarming research which has just come out. So put the sun cream on but dont rub it in. Make sure it is visible on the skin, thats the message. Lotion prevents cancer but only when its visible on your skin. Pictures If youve got a digital camera and youre out and about taking pictures at the moment and you have one youd like to show on the programme then send it to me at the usual address [EMAIL PROTECTED] And indeed, if theres anything else youd like to drop me a line about then that is the address. Also for any problems you have which we might be able to tackle on Leave it to Levy. At 40 For couch potatoes suffering from an advancing middle-age spread there is now some good news. Researchers have found that even if you only start exercising later in life, you can still dramatically reduce the chances of developing heart disease. Those who wait until their forties to take up regular physical activity are 55% less likely to be diagnosed with heart disease than if they remain lazy. So even at 40, its not too late to start exercising, that is the latest message. Mablethorpe This Sunday night is the big one the switching on of the annual illuminations at Mablethorpe. Paul and I will be there and the fun starts at 7.30pm and the lights will be switched on a couple of hours later. If you can make it there on Sunday night, we look forward to seeing you. Well its a short and sweet letter today as Im dashing off to the Driffield Show and then making my way to Sewerby Hall for this evenings programme. Whatever youre doing today, have a good one and Ill see you tonight BBC One at 6.30pm. And dont forget, if theres someone you think would like a daily Levy Letter, get them to sign up.
