Maintaining health is similar in any season, with only a few exceptions.
To remain healthy, one must attend to adequate nutrition, that is, receive the minimum requirements of protein, fats carbohydrates, and essential nutrients (vitamins and minerals); as well as an adequate intake of fluids.
We must seek out sanitary conditions and practice sanitary habits, that is, avoid excessive exposure to contaminants in food and water, and infectious organism in our environment.
To achieve the later, we consume fresh sterile water, food that has not spoiled, and bath regularly.
In addition, we must attend to our health by cleansing wounds and seeking the attention of others if we are injured or believe that we are ill.
The last component of good health is that of regular exercise, which may vary between summer and winter, depending upon where we live. This activity should include an aerobic component, whereby sustained exercise results in increased heart rate, respiratory rate and a moderate elevation of blood pressure.
The recommendations that are specific for summer (assuming that you live in a warm climate) include protecting yourself from the sun (ultraviolet radiation) with shade, clothes that cover the body or sun blocking agents. They also include the intake of sufficient fluids, particularly those that contain electrolytes (sodium and potassium), and attempts to avoid heat stroke. Heat stroke can be avoided by periodically seeking shade, a dip in cool water, or retiring to an air conditioned place.
The precautions related to health in the summer are more stringent for the elderly, infants or small children, or people with serious or chronic diseases. High humidity, which prevents perspiration from evaporating from the skin and cooling our bodies is a significant risk factor for everyone.
