Today’s Health Article…

Brings to you a melody of short tips, all thrown together for this very moment, when you feel you hotter than a frying pan.

Perhaps some folks have similar lines, associated with todays  frying summer heat, probably too many words to discuss here. It, the heat, just naturally seems to just show up, sooner or later, for several days at a time. These heat waves , can  make us feel like we are living in a frying pan!

In many cases with this extreme heat, are body is actually frying from the extreme temperatures, due to our body unable to cool down. In many areas of the world, with this heat, also comes the sticky humidity, feeling even more uncomfortable as the heat rises.  Unless you are living on the other side of the world, where it is now winter, you probably wishing you could  pay those folks a visit.

 The real concern here is most of us are seeking refuge from the frying temperatures by any means to cool off. The problem though, is that we react many times, not thinking about our actions and the impact on our health.

We  are all seeking to have that one instant of gratification, that moment of coolness. Yet, are we really thinking about the outcome or just really wanting to get cooled off because we are frying from the heat?

Many lives are taken every year, just for  that one moment. In my home town people take a jump in the river, and hypothermia  sets in quickly from the snow melt and the swiftness of the water takes  their lives .

Then there are those who ride the rapids with no life jackets and find that its stronger than anticipated.

Now when I lived in the Mohave Dessert, our swimming pool was the center of attention, since the average day was always a 3 digit figure. Now swimming and all, this fun, can be exhausting at those temperatures, perhaps not recognizing that dehydration can become an important factor with those type of heat conditions. Sun strokes  can be deadly if not treated immediately. I personally lost my father there to a Sun Stroke.

It just seems that when the weather turns into frying heat, I think it affects our thinking, I have certianly seen how people’s attitudes get heated, when they stop at the local watering hole, and forget to stop with being a responsible adult,  and now endagering their health, their lives, or perhaps others,

Now for those who live further north in our country, its just great to see one of those warm days, the shedding of our winter clothes, goodbye to the 40s and 50s, and jump into the 80s and 90s. However, our skin is about as white as snow and the sun has no kindness for those who are fair complexion and wants some of that Summer fun.  Skin cancer is prevalent to those folks and the frying conditions are felt painfully. Sun screen is definitely a need fot those conditions.

Summer heat always creates a wave of new diets, since we unshed the layers of clothes and get closer to the real you. Now  realizing  you have gained those extra pounds, and are willing to try anything to look like  you use to.  Several articles have been posted regarding  diets on this site, check categories. It seems to me as I have gotten older, weight and frying heat are not a good combination, nor is it healthy.

The most important part of this article is to act responsibly, drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, and watch the  exercise if exposed to the direct heat. Keeping cool is  may be a key element to alleviate our discomfort, but as this article suggests, give thought to your activities.  If symptoms  occur that are not normal, contact your doctor or a local ER Emergency, for heat exhaustion and sun strokes, take lives every year.  If losing weight is part of the plan seek  professional help for the nutrition that fits your health situation, and  try to stay cool the Healthy Way.
