10 Tips To Stay Healthy In Muggy Summer Temperatures

Summer is here, and it's time to get outside and enjoy the weather. But this season can also be a challenge for people who are sensitive to heat, especially those with asthma or other respiratory conditions.

The biggest thing people need to do is stay hydrated," says Dr. Howard Mell, a pulmonologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. "You lose more fluid when you're hot than you would normally.

Here are 10 tips to staying healthy in muggy summer temperatures:

Stay hydrated:- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day (or even more if you're active).

Wear loose-fitting clothes :- long pants and long sleeves can help keep your body cool. Avoid tight undergarments that restrict airflow around your skin and make you sweat more.

Avoid caffeine or alcohol:- Avoid drinks with caffeine (coffee, soda) or alcohol; both can cause dehydration because they cause urine production, which means you're losing fluid through your kidneys instead of sweating it out through your skin.

Disease conditions:- If you have asthma or another respiratory condition, make sure to follow your doctor's advice about taking medications such as inhalers or steroids that may affect how well they work in hot weather.

Exercise limitations:- Don't overdo it with exercise or outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.

Wear lightweight clothing:- Light colors reflect the sun's rays instead of absorbing them like dark colors do, so they're better at keeping you cool than dark colors are. Wear loose-fitting clothes that allow air flow around your body; this helps keep your body temperature down as well as keep you dryer when it rains or your sweat evaporates from your skin more quickly when it is hot out.

Stay indoors:- Stay indoors when possible during the hottest part of the day — between noon and 6 p.m., especially if humidity levels are high and there is no air conditioning at home or work — or limit outdoor activity during those hours when possible

Eat Light Meals And Snacks Throughout The Day:- It’s easy to overeat when you feel hungry during the hot summer months, but eating too much at one time can cause bloating and discomfort after eating. Instead of eating three large meals daily, try eating five or six smaller meals or snacks instead. That way your blood sugar stays balanced throughout the day and there’s less chance for overeating at one sitting.

Conclusion

Staying fit this summer can be hard, even if you do everything you can to achieve that beach body. The heat makes it so tempting to eat fast food or accept an ice cream cone from a child...but we're here to tell you that you can stay fit even as the mercury rises. Follow our advice and you'll be on your way to a healthy summer.

Knee Arthroscopy: An Effective Treatment for Joint Pain

Image
Joint pain can be debilitating and affect the quality of life of many people. If you are experiencing persistent knee pain, it may be time to see a joint pain doctor. One of the treatments they may recommend is knee arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure that can help diagnose and treat a range of knee problems. Knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that uses a small camera, called an arthroscope, to look inside the knee joint. The procedure is performed by an orthopaedic surgeon, who makes small incisions around the knee and inserts the arthroscope. The camera then sends images to a monitor, which the surgeon uses to guide small instruments to treat the problem. One of the main benefits of knee arthroscopy is that it is minimally invasive. This means that the incisions made during the procedure are small, and there is less damage to the surrounding tissue. As a result, there is less pain and scarring, and the recovery time is shorter compared to traditional open surgery. Knee ...
