How To Stay Healthy In A Changing Climate

7/5/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
The issue of climate change has reached us on a personal level. It has had a significant impact on our livelihood and well-being. The World Health Organization has recorded deaths of over 166,000 people worldwide. Unfortunately, these deaths were due to the heat waves from 1998-2017. What’s more saddening is, the changing climate is a consequence of humans’ actions.   
​
The changing climate affects our children, senior citizens, pregnant women, and the vulnerable. The effects may vary among them, but they are more susceptible to heat exhaustion. Here are a few reminders for staying healthy in a changing climate.
Dealing with extreme heat
Temperatures keep getting warmer over the last decades. And it is expected to increase over the years. The impact of extreme heat may vary depending on the duration of your exposure. Long exposure could cause heatstroke. And this could sometimes lead to death.

Drinking water is essential in dealing with extreme heat. It helps in cooling down the body, so always keep a bottle of water anywhere you go. Another way to stay cool is to find shade when you’re outdoors. Try to stay away from direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid it, keep an umbrella handy at all times.

Protecting yourself from insect bites
As the Earth gets warmer, it becomes more prone to flooding. Flooding may result in stagnant waters. These conditions make it friendly to mosquitoes. As we all know, mosquitoes are one of the deadliest insects. They are carriers of various diseases such as dengue and malaria.

Always wear long and light-colored clothing when going outdoors. Doing this helps in preventing the mosquitoes from biting you. An alternative is to use mosquito repellent whenever mosquitoes are active. Remove stagnant waters where these deadly insects could lay their eggs.

Be mindful of the air you’re breathing.
Various human activities cause air pollution. Factories, power plants, airplanes, and cars have contributed to polluting the air. These have greatly affected the air you’re breathing. Monitor the air quality in your area. There are moments when poor air quality has surrounded the city we live in. Try to lessen going outdoors. Limit strenuous activities.  

Final thoughts
Climate change is inevitable unless we change our ways. Its adverse effects have continuously affected our way of living. Think ahead. Protect yourself and your loved ones from any future contingencies.
