Summer is the season of fruits and vegetables, travel, and outdoor dining. However, it is precisely during this time that stomach aches, food poisoning, and cases of diarrhea increase significantly. Experts point out that these conditions are linked to several factors, and simple carelessness can pose a serious threat to our health.
Why do such conditions increase in summer?
Firstly, hot weather causes food to spoil quickly. At high temperatures, bacteria and microbes multiply rapidly in food, increasing the risk of food poisoning. Especially risky are street foods and products that are not stored properly.
Secondly, people change their diet in summer: they consume more raw vegetables and fruits. Excessive amounts of some of these can irritate the intestines and cause digestive issues. Digestion of fatty and heavy foods also becomes more difficult in the heat.
Thirdly, summer travel, increased activity, and eating in new environments expose the body to unfamiliar microflora, increasing the risk of intestinal infections.
What precautions should be taken?
1. Store food properly.
2. Be cautious with high-risk foods — mayonnaise, meat, and dairy products.
3. Wash vegetables and fruits thoroughly.
4. Maintain hand hygiene.
5. Drink plenty of fluids. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
