Summer season brings sunshine, intense heat, vacation and outdoor fun. As much as people love to enjoy the sunshine, but sometimes body gives away.

The extreme heat, increased humidity and change in lifestyle gives rise to certain health problems.

From dehydration to food poisoning, summer can take a toll in your overall health if not taken care of.

Here are 5 common health issues you need to watch out in summer:

Dehydration

Hot weather makes you sweat more, which leads to loss of water and essential minerals from the body. Always make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.

Skin Problems

Long exposure to the sun and excessive sweating can lead to various skin issues like sunburn, rashes, and infections. Always apply sunscreen before going outdoors and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Drink plenty of fluids to flush out toxins. Maintain proper hygiene. Wear loose cotton underwear to keep the area dry and prevent bacterial growth.

Heat exhaustion

Long exposure to high temperatures leads to exhaustion due to excessive sweating. In severe cases it turns into heatstroke. Wear light-coloured clothes. Avoid going out in extreme sunlight. Stay indoors in well-ventilated spaces.
