Summer is coming and we all love the summer months. We tend to plan family gatherings and outings during the hot summer months. Many more hours are spent outdoors then any other month.
Dehydration is a big hazard in the summer months. We need to drink extra water to keep our bodies hydrated in the heat. We use more of our water supply and it is important to compensate.
When we are involved in many activities outside in the summer we sweat more and we need more water to regulate our body temperature. Therefore we need to keep our bodies well hydrated through out the day.
Heat exhaustion is a major concern in the hot summer days. We need to especially watch over the elderly. The elderly often times have a medical condition or take medications that effect body temperatures.
It is especially important to watch over the elderly. Many times the have health conditions and medications that do not let them know that they are overheating and this can spell disaster for them.
Sunburns are a hazard in the summer months as well. Who has not had one? They can be very painful and uncomfortable. Studies show that one in every 5 people will have skin cancer in their lifetime.
These factors make it very important to use a good sunscreen and reapply through out the day, especially if swimming or sweating a lot. Wear protective clothing as needed. A hat to shade the face and cover ups to go over swim wear when not swimming.
Last, but not least we love the water in the summer. It is cool and refreshing. Be sure to use good water safety. It is never a good idea to swim alone. Always use a floatation device if you are not a good swimmer or will be on watercraft. - 16887
