GOOD HEALTH IN HOT WEATHER.
Most people in the towns and cities
view the arrival of the hot summer
months with dread and apprehension. Hot
streets, hot days, oppressive nights, headaches,
stomach complaints, lassitude and
ennui are nintnrpH in thn oe
usual concomitants cf the summer
months in this climate.
As a matter of fact, there is no reason
why any one in the cities and towns should
fear the summer. To be sure, if all rules
of health are disregarded, and if a person
tries to live in the summer as he
would in the winter, there is grave danger
of sickness and physical discomfort.
But, on the other hand, a few common
sense principles, rigorously followed, will
insure the city man a comfortable and
healthy summer, no matter how hot the
weather may be.
The first essential for good health in
summer is precaution against overexertion.
No man should walk during the
hot hours of a summer's oay any more
than is necessary. He should not indulge
in strenuous sports or games when the
sun is hot. and he should avoid the sun
as much as possible. Walking in the
Droning sun with one's hat on is as dangerous
as it is senseless and useless.
Careful diet is also very necessary
for summer comfort. Vegetables and
fruits are healthy and nourishing, if taken
in moderation, but meats should not be
eaten in large quantities.
The prudent man will avoid overeating
in the summer, and will take care to
prevent diarruea, while keeping his bowels
open. Coolitig, non-alcoholic drinks
are sometimes helpful, but they should always
be used most moderately.
Next in importance comes the question
of rest. While our average Southern climate
is not so torrid as to demand the
complete suspension of all work during
the midday hours, it is so warm that none
should attempt the hardest work of the
day during that time. The best plan is
to regulate your work so that routine
matters, involving little physical exertion,
should be performed in the middle of the
day, leaving important and exerting business
to the morning and late afternoon
hours.
Watch changes in the weather and
change your clothing accordingly. If a
cool spell comes on, put on more clothes;
if an unusually warm spell occurs, reduce
unnecessary clothing to a minimum.
Never forget that good health is good
common sense consistently practiced.
