Stay safe in summer months

Remember, taking necessary precautions not only safeguards your well-being but also allows for a stress-free and enjoyable experience

As the summer heat engulfs our cities and towns, it is essential to remember that taking precautions remains paramount. By adopting a proactive mindset and implementing simple safety measures, we can ensure that this summer is not only filled with enjoyment but also free from unnecessary risks. Proper hydration should be at the forefront of our minds during the scorching summer months.

Health experts are of the opinion that proper hydration is vital to maintain our overall health and well-being, especially when spending extended periods outdoors or engaging in physical activities. Carry a water bottle wherever you go and make it a habit to drink fluids regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. By staying hydrated, we can prevent heat-related illnesses such as dehydration and heatstroke, safeguarding ourselves from potential health complications.

Moreover, sun protection is a non-negotiable aspect of summer safety. The sun’s rays can be harsh and damaging, leading to sunburns, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Apply sunscreen with a high SPF before stepping outside, and reapply it every few hours, particularly if you’re swimming or perspiring. Additionally, wearing sunglasses, and lightweight, loose-fitting clothing can provide additional defence against the sun’s harmful effects. Also, food poisoning is relatively common in summer months and particularly during the period of the hottest days. Common symptoms of food poisoning are cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting.

People should by and large take precautions and avoid certain food that is deemed by health experts to be prone to food poisoning. Contaminated water, poultry, unpasteurised milk and fast food should be avoided. While engaging in recreational activities, it is crucial to prioritize personal safety. Whether you’re swimming, cycling, or participating in sports, always adhere to the necessary safety precautions.

When swimming, ensure that people are present, or swim in designated areas where water conditions are monitored. If you plan to explore natural environments such as hiking trails or forests, inform someone about your whereabouts and carry essential supplies, including a first aid kit. Embracing a proactive and cautious mindset allows us to fully enjoy the wonders of summer.

As far as government undertakings are concerned, PHE, Health and municipalities must work together to create awareness among the masses. Although there are no serious complaints about restaurants and other food joints operating in the valley, yet precautions should be taken by the crew who cook and serve the food. Other than that people must ensure that the food is prepared hygienically at homes as well. Most of the food poisoning cases result from water-borne diseases. Therefore safe drinking water and its judicious use must receive primary focus.

While suspecting food poisoning, make sure the affected people get fluids and electrolytes. Public health system can be fairly improved with interventions of the government as well as the people. As part of a shared obligation, all must chip in and provide a helping hand. Remember, taking necessary precautions not only safeguards your well-being but also allows for a stress-free and enjoyable experience.
