TIP 1: BE ALWAYS HYDRATED
In summer,
the temperatures rise, and therefore, everyone, but mainly children and the
elderly, should regularly drink liquids to avoid dehydration or heat strokes.
Water is essential, but you can also drink natural juices, infusions,
plant-based drinks, etc.
TIP 2: KEEP A WELL-BALANCED DIET
Include in
your diet all the essential nutrients. Benefit from the advantages of seasonal
fruits and vegetables, and do not miss fiber, as a change of habits may cause
digestive disorders such as constipation.
TIP 3: REINFORCE YOUR INTESTINAL FLORA
In summer,
the temperatures rise, and therefore, diarrhea is quite frequent. The key to
avoiding it is having a strong and healthy gut flora through supplements rich
in probiotics, which will also help you reinforce your immune system.
TIP 4: SUNBATHE WITH CAUTION
Avoid sunbathing
at the hours of greatest intensity, protect your skin with sunscreen, wear a
hat or cap, and watch your diet, as carrots (rich in beta-carotene) will
protect your skin inside.
TIP 5: PROTECT YOUR EARS
Otitis is one
of the typical summer disorders. To protect your ears, avoid swimming in untreated
pools or pools with stagnant water, do not use cotton swabs or sharp objects to
clean your ears, and if you are prone to otitis, use earplugs before diving
into the water... And if, despite all these tips, you suffer from this
disorder, propolis or other plants, such as mullein or plantain may help you
relieve the symptoms.
TIP 6: AVOID FUNGI
Mycosis, along
with its annoying itching and stinging, is also frequent in summer. To prevent it,
use your own towel and footwear, watch excessive sweating, dry yourself
thoroughly after bathing, and wear appropriate footwear in damp areas (footbaths,
showers, changing rooms, saunas, etc.). But if you are still attacked by fungi,
walnut and propolis have antifungal properties.
