At the height of summer holidays, planning a pleasant and interesting vacation, you should take care of your health. Be careful when leaving a cool apartment on the street, especially if you have to use public transport. First of all, this applies to people suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Be sure to wear an easy hat, and if the trip is long - take something with you to drink. It's better if it's not a sweet soda, which actually only intensifies thirst, but compote or mineral water. And by the way, do not hold back your thirst - in the opinion of European experts, in hot weather a person should drink at least 2.5 liters of water per day.
In order to avoid sunstroke, one should rationally make a plan for the day, avoiding being on the street during the hot time of the day. If possible, cool the air in the room, sleep more and eat properly. We also recommend taking special medicines of traditional Chinese medicine, which make it easier to transfer heat and stuffiness.
According to experts, after the heat the number of stroke increases significantly. During the period of the greatest solar activity, the load on the cardiovascular and excretory systems and their organs (kidneys, skin, lungs) sharply increases. And in the summer often die from pneumonia. Actually, we are used to consider pneumonia as a winter disease. However, in summer it happens at least. The fact is that under the scorching sun, the lungs are working at the limit of their capabilities. As a result, in addition to pneumonia, bronchitis and bronchial asthma can worsen.

When traveling to the resorts of the Black Sea coast or to the euro area, tourists need to observe personal hygiene measures, because the main danger here is intestinal infections. No other especially dangerous infections are registered.
With exotic resorts the situation is more complicated. In addition, in hot countries, including popular Egypt, Turkey, Thailand, the climate and unsanitary create for intestinal infections paradise conditions, there are sores and more dangerous.
So, tourists traveling to Africa and South America, without fail must be vaccinated against the yellow fever transmitted by airborne droplets. Vaccination in Tyumen can be delivered in a polyclinic at the regional clinical hospital. This gives a guarantee for 10 years. The tourist is issued an individual sanitary book of the international standard, only if you have it you can go abroad.

The World Health Organization (WHO) annually aims to draw the attention of the world community to the impact of global warming on the health and life expectancy of people.
The problem has been long overdue: according to WHO estimates, in the EU countries, each temperature increase of one degree can cause an increase in mortality by 1-4%, and according to 12 European countries, the extreme heat period in the summer of 2003 led to more than 70 thousand "unnecessary "deaths. But not only the heat is a consequence of global warming. Specialists say that from excessively low temperatures in winter, mortality also increases - from 5 to 30%. The danger for people is also represented by floods: 1.6 million people live in the EU alone in the coastal areas, which are annually threatened by flooding. To these disasters should be added windbreaks and winds that increase the risk of injury ... Therefore, WHO advises the governments of countries to immediately focus on these problems and oblige the country's health systems to work in the context of addressing the problems associated with global warming.
