Year is the right time for outdoor activities - walking, swimming, traveling, recreation. In order for the year to pass the way you want and without harmful consequences for your health, it is necessary to abide by some simple but useful recommendations.

Remember that a heat stroke is a common cause of death during the summer months, especially among the elderly and chronically ill.

In order to feel all the benefits of the summer months, it is desirable to stay as far away from the house as possible and to be active, but exclusively in accordance with its capabilities and with the application of security advice.

Practical tips:

Exposure to sunlight ultraviolet (UV) and any more serious sunburn imposes one of the most significant risk factors for skin cancer. During the summer months, more time is spent in the sun and therefore protection from harmful sun rays is necessary. It is necessary to protect yourself in the period from 10 to 16 hours when the sun is strongest by wearing appropriate clothing of natural origin, loose weaving and light colors (cotton, linen, silk) as well as appropriate footwear. For body parts exposed to sunshine, use 30+ protective agents and apply them regularly, especially after swimming. It is also important to regularly use lip balm.

While staying in the water do not forget the danger of strangulation and adhere to the following:

1. Do not swim yourself off the coast, especially at your unknown locations.

2. Do not drink alcohol before swimming or any other activity on the water.

3. If you are a non-swimmer, it's never too late to become a swimmer.

4. Do not swallow water, whether it is sea, lake, river or pool due to possible bacterial infections.

Year is also a trip time in nature and preparation of meals outside the house. All this can be a potential hazard due to high outdoor temperatures and food deterioration in such conditions. Therefore, the following should be done:

1. Fill well with flesh or fish, regardless of species.

2. Do not mix food during transport. Wash your hands, as well as everything you did during the preparation of fresh meat, so as not to accelerate the propagation of bacteria.

3. Bacteria are rapidly propagated at room temperature, so keep the meat in the refrigerator before use.
