Health in Summers
In Summers, a few simple precautions can reduce the risk of food borne diseases.
It is important to protect yourself from hot weather! A little common sense goes a long way:
• Keep cool. Avoid strenuous physical activity, especially in the heat of the midday sun.
• Drink plenty of fluids, avoiding those with caffeine or alcohol, both of which increase body's need for fluids.
• Those at greatest risk of heat-related illness are infants and children up to four years of age.
• When out in the sun, make sure you use sun screen lotion.
In summers, a few simple precautions can reduce the risk of food borne diseases:
• Eat well-cooked food.
• Refrigerate leftovers promptly. Bacteria can grow quickly at room temperature.
• Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables in running tap water to remove visible dirt and grime.
