Health Awareness in summer

The excessive heat and humidity of the sun during summer are very harmful to the body. Basically, due to the excessive heat of the sun and fasting, each of us has a water deficit in our body, which can be filled only by consuming sufficient water/juice. Especially those who work in the sun or outdoors at this time, they need to take extra protective measures to protect themselves from the heat of the sun.

What we can do during this time…

• Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. Drink sufficient amount of water from iftar to sehri during fasting.
• Avoid drinking excessively cold water after returning home from outside in this heat, but rather drink water of normal temperature.
• If you have excessive sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting, drink saline water, and if necessary, consult a nearby doctor.
• Avoid coffee or drinks with excess sugar. Such drinks create a water deficit in the body.
• Wait a while after coming from outside, and after the body temperature normalizes, take a bath or wipe the body with water; this will reduce your body temperature.
• Wear loose, thin, and light-colored clothes. Use sunscreen lotion to protect yourself from excessive sun rays.
• Avoid using water stored in open containers for a week to protect yourself from water-borne diseases.
• Avoid going outside unnecessarily during the day.

While working outside…

• Carry extra water and drink pure water to protect yourself from water-borne diseases.
• Drink lemon water, fruit juice, and saline water.
• Wear a full-sleeved shirt to protect yourself from the heat of the sun.
• Wear a hat on your head.
• Avoid working in the hot sun if necessary.
• Avoid oily foods.
• Avoid carbonated drinks or coffee in hot weather; drink plain water instead.
