Don't suffer from a summer disease

By Pepin

Summer sun is not always synonymous to summer fun. We should also take precautionary measures as we expose ourselves under the blazing heat.

Health experts in the province of Aklan informed the public that aside from sunburn, there are certain conditions that proliferate due to a tremendous increase in the temperature of the environment. These include measles and sore eyes. Heat strokes and dehydration are also common in summer, and these can be life-threatening to many individuals.

The local health sector advice people to drink more water, and to avoid too much sun exposure. It is also recommended to see a doctor for any discomforts felt and to avoid going out in public if unwell

We often suffer from stress because of the heavy demands of modern living, and it can take a toll on our

health. Therefore, it is important that we should utilize activities to reduce a stressful lifestyle.

One of the best stress-reliever is Tai Chi. It is a type of physical activity that loosens up the body and appeases the mind. It works by coordinating body movements with breathing techniques. It appeals mostly to people who do not want vigorous forms of exercises.

Originally from China, Tai Chi has become popular all over the world. Ancient legend tells that the exercise movements stimulate the flow of “Chi”, a form of positive energy believed by many to bring good health and well-being.

Health experts have approved the benefits of Tai Chi. There are studies that showed it is beneficial for people suffering from Heart disease, depression, diabetes, and respiratory disease.
