High blood pressure/ causes of high blood pressure can be divided into 2 large groups

Causes of high blood pressure can be divided into 2 large groups. Those who can find the cause, such as from nephritis, constricted arteries, preeclampsia, etc. Those who can't find the cause, such as high blood pressure patients.   What kind of person is most likely to have high blood pressure?      1. The elderly, especially from 40-50 years old      2. Slightly more common in women than men, especially after menopause      3. More in obese people and some in skinny people      4. 30-40% from heredity      5. In people with emotional intense, stress, excitement, easy fear, easy upset, rapid mood changes. Those may trigger a temporary rise in blood pressure at first, then gradually decrease. But if it happens frequently and for a long time, blood pressure will become permanently high. The very high blood pressure can be dangerous.   Symptoms             Most patients with early stage hypertension are asymptomatic but may be detected by annual health check-ups or sick with other diseases and the doctor find that the blood pressure is abnormal. For patients with symptoms, there will be dizziness, blurred vision, headache at the occiput, often have pain when waking up, tired easily, tightness in the chest, insomnia, fatigue. Some cases have nosebleeds often. Such symptoms can be caused by many other diseases. Most importantly, some people with high blood pressure may have no symptoms at all. They will not know about it if they don’t measure with medical equipment. Therefore, if you suspect this disease or you are over 35 years old, you should check your blood pressure at least 1-2 times a year.   Patients with high blood pressure should be supervised by a physician to keep the blood pressure down to the normal range and to prevent complications, such as an enlarged heart, decreased blood flow in the kidneys, stiff or fragile blood vessels in the brain, etc. The treatment for high blood pressure must be treated and diagnosed by a doctor for behavior and medication use. However, the patient must practice to easily decrease blood pressure:   Rest both physically and mentally. Try to control your emotions and your mind to avoid stress and gloomy. Lose weight within the normal range in obese people. Be careful about falling or head attacking because it may cause the hemorrhagic stroke leading to paralysis. Do not worry or pay attention to the level of blood pressure each time. Blood pressure can change according to the daily environment. The physician will decide whether changes in blood pressure levels is important? Control your diet.   Food for people with high blood pressure   Avoid highly salty foods because salt increases the tension of the artery walls, which increases the diastolic blood pressure. Decrease protein, such as meat, eggs, milk, beans if there is a complication of the kidneys. Should avoid animal fats and coconut milk. Consume medium-low fat foods. Avoid extremely sweet foods, such as all kinds of sweets, as much as possible. It will increase the body weight and blood lipid levels. Avoid drinks, such as tea or coffee, which has high caffeine. It stimulates the heart to work harder for pumping blood. It is dangerous for people with high blood pressure. Avoid alcoholic beverages, such as liquor and beer. It will cause vasodilation. The blood circulation will be faster and stronger. The heart works harder and the blood pressure will rise, which is considered extremely dangerous. You should absolutely stop drinking and stop smoking.   Summary           Food preparation for people with high blood pressure should be provided properly. If you are overweight than normal, you must reduce it to normal range. People with normal body weight must be careful not to increase more. A low fat, sugar, and carbohydrate diet should be taken. Food with light taste can be added some salt, sauce, or fish sauce. All kinds of highly salty foods should be avoided, including preserved food by using salt, such as salted fish, salted meat, salted vegetables, ham, bacon, and various types of salted bread.   With best wishes from Vibhavadi Hospital

What is golden age or menopause?

What is golden age or menopause?             The golden age is one of the ages of life, which begins from infancy, childhood, adolescence, middle age, menopause. For adolescence and menopause, these are ages when the ovaries produce less and irregular hormones, causing irregular menstruation. During menopause, the ovaries work less, resulting in less hormone production (estrogen, progesterone), which leads to unstable menstruation (some have more, some have less, or some have often.). This hormone helps with menstruation, pregnancy, bone strength, and decrease cholesterol levels.   When will the golden age begin?           Women from 30 years old up to 50 years old can be in menopause. The average age is 51 years old. Smokers go through menopause earlier than non-smokers. People who have had ovaries removed can go through menopause immediately after ovaries have been cut.   What are the warning signs of menopause?           When estrogen and progesterone levels drop, it can cause many symptoms. Some have more symptoms, but some have less (the effect of estrogen on the body). The symptoms may take a few months to disappear but on average, it takes about 4 years.   Symptoms are as follows:   Irregular menstruation: such as coming early, coming late, coming more, coming less, coming for a long time. High body temperature: The patient will have high temperature, especially the upper part of the body, cheeks, neck, back, followed by sweating and chills at night. This symptom lasts 1-5 minutes. The vagina and bladder problems: as estrogen levels drop, the vaginal mucosa becomes dry and thin. Patients experience pain during intercourse and have more frequent vaginal infections. There is also the issue of urinary incontinence when coughing or sneezing. Contraception. Contraceptives should be used for at least 1 year after the last menstrual period. Some patients will have decreased sexual feelings, but some people have higher sex drive. Problems with sleeping, difficulty of falling asleep, waking up early, waking up at night and sweating. The patient will complain of being tired. Mood unstable and easy anger. Physical changes: the waist will be larger. There will be fatter, and skin begins to wither. Other problems: such as headache, memory loss, and body aches.   Golden age and disease            When going through menopause, there will be many diseases at this age, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and breast cancer. No one can predict who will have such diseases. However, we might consider from the risk factors that any golden age person has risk factors for any disease. Therefore, those who are in the golden or menopausal age, you must know the following information in order to decide to receive supplement hormones.   Details about heart disease, osteoporosis, and breast cancer Risk factors for each disease The effects of hormone replacement therapy.   Diseases that often occur with menopause Osteoporosis Coronary heart disease and stroke Breast cancer   What do you have to do when you are in the golden age? Eat foods with high calcium and reduce fat. Reduce risk factors for heart disease. Stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Use a lubricant before sex. Check the breast and cervical cancer every year.   Treatment of menopausal diseases without hormones           Before receiving hormone replacement therapy, the severity of diseases-associated menopause, such as high body temperature or osteoporosis, must be assessed and compared to the risk of hormone-induced diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, you need to consider whether there are other options for treatment these conditions.   If you have symptoms of high body temperature, how to solve it? Stay in cool area when symptoms begin to heat up. Sleep in a cool room. Drink cold water when you feel hot. Avoid spicy and hot food. Avoid alcohol. Avoid stress. When you are stress, you should take long breaths and calm down. If it's cold, you can wear several layers. If it's hot, it can be removed layer by layer. Some doctors recommend the use of vitamins. E, which reduces symptoms by 40%, clonidine, and an SSRI antidepressant, such as Prozac and Zoloft. Eat foods containing soybeans, which can reduce body heat.   Vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, and urinary incontinence. How to solve them? The tissues of the vagina and bladder will atrophy, causing such symptoms. If there are contraindications for taking hormone replacement therapy, or patients do not want to take the risk of hormones, patients can use vaginal estrogen. The level of drug in the blood is less than 1 in 4 of the oral type, but it will be more effective on the vagina than the oral type for 4 times. In the first use of the drug, you can apply it every day, after that, you apply it 2-3 times a week or depending on the situation or adjustment of the patient. Some people may also use moisturizer medications to the vagina without tissue thickening. Patients can use of SSRI antidepressants, which alter serotonin levels in the brain, reducing symptoms of depression.   Hormone replacement therapy in menopausal patients           Before receiving hormone replacement therapy, the severity of diseases-associated menopause, such as high body temperature or osteoporosis, must be assessed and compared to the risk of hormone-induced diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, you need to consider if there are other alternative treatment for these conditions. Some patients in menopausal stage, doctors will give oral contraceptives, which have many advantages, such as making consistent menstruation, reduction of body heat, reduction of the incidence of ovarian cancer. For the disadvantage, you do not know if your period has finished or not. If you are in doubt, you can stop taking birth control pills for 4-5 months and observe if your period comes. If you are really in the menopausal stage, doctors will consider giving hormones that contain estrogen and progesterone. The good effect is to reduce symptoms and prevent osteoporosis, as well as prevent heart disease. However, you should be careful of complications, namely hepatitis, high triglyceride fat, breast cancer, or Phytoestrogen.   Many plants, such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and soybeans, contain substances that function like estrogen, but they are not recommended as a treatment because of their efficacy and side effects.

Fast walking far away from disease

It has been known that exercise is good for health, but there are some people who can't exercise.             Walking is an alternative way, it can be divided into 3 levels: slow walking, fast walking, and racewalking. Slow walking is walking that you can still sing, whistling, humming, or make a long sound, such as meditation walking and shopping walking. Fast walking means walking for more than 10 minutes at a time, more than half an hour a day, at least 5 days a week. Normal people with good health should walk at a speed of about 400-700 meters in 6 minutes, or walk fast until you can't sing, whistling, humming, or make a long sound. If you walk too fast that you can't speak in words, it will be a walking race (walking too fast). Racewalking is a vigorous physical activity that involves walking, such a fast pace until you cannot speak in words because unable to breath. This type of walking is for strength, durability, and flexibility for who wants to prevent or treat the disease. Racewalking is enough. Moreover, you can run, dance, or aerobics instead.   Walking has many benefits, including low risk of cardiovascular disease, weight control, blood cholesterol level control, good fat (HDL) in the blood increasing, high blood pressure prevention, osteoporosis prevention, and muscle strength or durability increasing.   In addition, walking reduces the chances of disease, can cure diabetes, reduce the death rate from cancer, and prevent some types of cancer, such as colon cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc. (This article, Dr. Wirot, Assistant Director of Health Promotion is the author. The newsletter department found that it is useful to readers. Thus, we put it in the newsletter for members to practice).   Walking can also relieve stress. It induces a good quality of sleep and can reduce depression. If you walk and talk with friends, you can relieve your bad feeling and suffering without using cigarettes, liquor, harmful substances, or drugs, etc.

However, stress also has a good part, such as excitement, challenge, and fun. In short, stress is a life-changing factor that has both pros and cons.   Type of stress Acute Stress is stress that occurs suddenly, and the body responds to that stress immediately by releasing stress hormones. When the stress disappears, the body and the hormones return to normal, e.g., noise, cold or hot weather, a crowded community, fear, fright, hunger, etc. Chronic Stress is stress that occurs every day and the body is unable to respond to the stress. It will accumulate into chronic stress, e.g., stress at work, interpersonal stress, housewife stress, and loneliness.   Negative effects on health      Stress is a normal thing that can be experienced every day. If the stress is caused by fear or danger, the body secretes hormones for fight. The symptoms that appear are only physical aspect, such as high blood pressure and palpitations.

Burns/Scalds

Burns/Scalds   It is widely believed that those who experienced the traumatic incident at a famous pub years ago saw a frightening image. Treatment of burn wounds can be a difficult process due to the high risk of infection, and the associated pain and suffering for the patient. To help everyone better understand burns and scalds, we have gathered the necessary information for everyone to read.   Burns/Scalds   General Characteristics Scald burns are a common accident among both children and adults. If it is a minor burn, it may cause a burning pain that is bearable and will eventually subside without treatment. However, if the burn is extensive, it may lead to complications that can cause disability or even death.   Cause Burns and scalds can be caused by negligence, knowingly or unintentionally, as well as various accidents.   1.            Heat sources include boilers, flasks, kettles, steam, hot oil in pans, stoves, lanterns, cigarettes, firecrackers, and hot objects. 2.            Electrical shock is a potential source of harm. 3.            Acids and alkalis are hazardous chemicals. 4.            Ultraviolet light, radium radiation, cobalt radiation, and atomic bombs emit dangerous levels of radiation. Symptoms   Symptoms depend on the size, depth, and location of the wound.   1.            Size is an important factor in assessing the severity of a wound. Large wounds (covering a larger area of skin) are more dangerous than small wounds, as they can lead to dehydration, protein, and electrolyte loss, and even shock. They also pose a greater risk of infection and septicemia, which can be fatal. The size of the wound is typically measured as a percentage of the patient's total body skin area. For example, a wound the size of one palm is equal to 1% of the body skin area, while a wound of 10 palms is approximately 10%. This is a convenient way of measuring the size of wounds in adults. 2.            The depth of the skin can be classified into the epidermis and the dermis.   We classify burn wounds into 3 levels as follows: a.            A first degree burn wound is an injury to the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis. It is caused by exposure to hot water, boiling steam, heated objects, or sunburn (tanning). Symptoms of a first degree burn wound include slightly red and swollen skin, burning pain, and no blisters or peeling skin. These wounds usually heal on their own without leaving any scars and are not fatal. b.            Second-degree wounds refer to skin lesions that involve the destruction of the entire layer of the epidermis and the superficial dermis. These wounds are typically caused by scalding liquids or exposure to flames, and present as red and blistered skin with small and large blisters that may eventually peel off to reveal red flesh with lymph. They can be quite painful and can lead to loss of water, proteins, and minerals, as well as the risk of infection. If not treated properly, these wounds may leave scars. However, with proper treatment, they can heal quickly and without scarring. c.             Third degree wounds refer to lesions which destroy the entire epidermis and dermis, including sweat glands, hair follicles, and nerve cells, resulting in an area of red or red and white flesh, or charred material. These wounds are usually caused by fire, hot objects, or electric shock and can lead to dehydration, infection, and severe scarring. In some cases, the difference between second and third degree wounds may not be clearly distinguishable in the early stages, though both of these wounds are considered deadly and should be calculated by the percentage of the wounded skin. 3.            Wounds on the face can lead to severe scarring and disfigurement, and if they touch the eyes, can even cause blindness. Wounds on the hands and crooked joints can also cause scarring of the knuckles and other joints. Inhaling smoke during an accident can cause inflammation of the airways, leading to bronchitis and pneumonia, which can be so severe that it can lead to death.   First Aid   If a person has suffered a burn injury, it is important to act quickly to provide treatment before seeking hospitalization. The following steps should be taken: a.            First Degree Burns 1.            Immediately apply cold water or ice to the affected area for at least 20 minutes or until the burning pain subsides. To reduce pain and prevent further tissue damage, you may use cold water, soak in ice water, use a clean cloth moistened with cold water for compression, or use plastic bags filled with ice and water. 2.            Cover the wound with a bandage or a clean cloth. 3.            If you continue to experience pain, burning, or blistering, seek medical attention. b.            Second Degree Burns 1.            Immediately apply cold water or ice, using a clean cloth to dry the area and cover it with a clean gauze. 2.            If the wound is wide (10-15%) or located on the face (including the mouth and nose), eyes, ears, hands, feet, or reproductive organs, which can cause a shock or be easily scarred, the patient should be taken to the hospital immediately. While waiting for the hospital, initial assistance can be provided as follows: 2.1 Remove any clothing from the burned area, or scalding water. If the clothing is difficult to remove, it should be cut into pieces, but do not pull it off if it is tightly attached to the wound as this may cause a lot of pain. Cover the area with a clean cloth. 2.2 Raise the wounded part to a higher level than the heart. 2.3 If there is a bracelet or ring, it should be removed to prevent the finger or wrist from swelling and making it difficult to remove. 2.4 If the patient is thirsty or it will take more than 2 hours to reach the hospital, they should be given an electrolyte-sugar solution or orange juice with salt. They should drink 1/4-1/2 at a time, then every 15 minutes. 2.5 Cover the patient's body with a thin, clean cloth and have the patient lie with their feet raised slightly. 2.6 Give the patient 1-2 tablets of paracetamol to relieve pain and, if necessary, 5 mg diazepam in 1/2-1 tablet.   c.             Third Degree Burns If a wound is deep enough to be fatal, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, especially if its size is greater than 10% (in children) or 15% (in adults) prior to hospital admission. In the meantime, first aid may be given for first and second degree wounds.   Treatment A physician or public health officer working in a hospital may provide the following treatments: a.            First Degree Wounds Clean the wound with water and soap, pat dry, and cover with a sterile bandage. Seek medical help if it is a deep wound, as it may require stitches or antibiotics. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment to the wound and change the bandage regularly. Give pain relief medication if needed. b.            Second or Third Degree Wounds: 1.            The patient should be hospitalized as soon as possible in the following cases: •             Third degree wounds larger than 2 palms (2%) •             Second degree lesions larger than 10 palms (10%) in children or 15 palms (15%) in adults. •             Wounds of eyes, ears, face, hands, feet, and genital organs. •             Wounds in infants, young children and the elderly. •             Inhalation of smoke during the incident. •             Administering saline to counteract shock while en route to medical care. 2.            If there are no symptoms mentioned in No. 1, treatment may be given by: •             Wash the wound with soap and water. •             If there are only 2-3 small blisters on the palm, apply a disinfectant such as povidone iodine or fresh wound tincture (Merthiolate) and cover with gauze. The blisters will gradually dry and fall off on their own in 3-7 days. •             If there are blisters on the limbs, back of hands, or feet, make a hole with a sterile (for example, soaked in rubbing alcohol) knife or scissors, and pat dry with sterile gauze. Apply povidone iodine or a tincture to fresh wounds, then wrap with a stretch cloth to let the inflated skin be firmly pressed. Within 2-3 days, the inflated skin will flake off. •             If there is a large area of blisters, cut the blistered skin with sterile scissors. Wash with saline, pat dry and apply sulfamylon cream, Bactacin ointment, povidone iodine solution, silver sulfadiazine cream, or Predex spray. Use a bandage if it's on the face or body and keep the wound open. •             Wash the wound and put medicine 1-2 times a day, then slow down as it gets better. •             Give pain medication and tetanus prophylaxis. •             If the wound does not improve within 1-2 weeks, or there is an infection, or general symptoms are not good (such as high fever, loss of appetite), send to hospital for treatment. If the wound is deep, it may be treated with a skin graft. Suggestions 1.            For burns and scalds, immediately use cold water or ice, but do not use toothpaste, fish sauce, or balm. 2.            Small children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to scald burns even if the size of the wound is not large, so it is best to go to the hospital for all cases. 3.            To prevent scarring caused by wounds on the joints, use a joint splint in the affected area from the start. 4.            Complications of burns and scalds in the first 2-3 days may include dehydration and shock. If the wound is large, the doctor may administer Ringer's lactate saline solution at a dose of 4 ml per 1 kg of body weight per 1 percent of the wound area, half within the first 8 hours and the other half within the remaining 16 hours. Infection may occur 2-3 days after the wound (or after 1 week), and severe infection is usually seen with 2nd degree wounds of 30% or more in size and 3rd degree wounds of 10% or more in size. 5.            People with burn wounds and scalds should eat a lot of protein-rich food (such as meat, milk, eggs) to compensate for the protein lost through the wound. 6.            In cases of acid or alkaline wounds, immediately wash with tap water for at least 5 minutes, then seek medical treatment. Treatment for these wounds is similar to that of burns. •             Young children should not be permitted to play in the kitchen. •             Kettles, cooking pots, thermos flasks, lamps, matches, and other hot objects should not be left within a child's reach. •             Cigarettes, lamps, blankets, mosquito nets, or any other combustible items should be kept away from each other. •             Take extra caution to avoid any accidents. The most important thing is to have a fire protection system in place. It is also essential to know how to safely escape a fire. For all entrepreneurs, this is especially important.   Health Information from Vibhavadi Hospital

6 Ways to Protect Your Brain from Harm

The human brain is an incredible and delicate organ, susceptible to both electromagnetic and radioactive chemicals. Despite its fragility, it has a profound effect on our thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Everyone wants a brain that works effectively, however there are many people who fall into routines and habits that cause their brains to falter in performance. In this article, I will discuss 6 ways that can destroy the performance of our brains which you may have overlooked.   1.            Lying Regularly: Lying regularly can cause the brain to work harder than normal. As our brains work harder, we become better at thinking and reasoning. However, when lying becomes a regular habit, the brain has to work extra hard in order to remember the details of the lies and keep track of them. This strain on the brain can lead to a decrease in brain performance and overall cognitive health. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of how often we lie, as it can have a negative impact on our brains. 2.            Misconception: Having a misconception is not necessarily immoral, wrong, unethical, or illegal. It simply means that you are thinking in a wrong way. However, it can lead to unethical or illegal actions such as cheating, flattery, corruption, or breaking the law. It can also lead to the destruction of good traditions, which can have a negative impact on our performance and our ability to think clearly. 3.            An obsession with vices such as gambling, lottery, etc. can lead to preoccupation with mischief and can have damaging effects on both brain performance and quality of life. This is because the person will spend a lot of their time and energy trying to find lucky numbers or interpret their dreams into numbers. They will also see something unusual in nature and count it as a number. This can lead to an unhealthy fixation on the vice and can lead to a lack of focus on other important tasks. 4.            Vindictive: Regular vindication is an unhealthy habit that can lead to a cycle of destructive thoughts and behaviors. It can be very damaging to one's mental health, as it can create a state of preoccupation with negative thoughts and emotions. It can also be detrimental to the brain, as if it were regularly being doused with a poisonous substance. In conclusion, regular vindication is not a healthy coping mechanism and can lead to serious psychological and neurological harm. 5.            Stress and Distraction: Stress and distraction can cause the brain to work hard inefficiently, leading to the secretion of certain substances that can negatively affect its performance. In extreme cases, this can result in severe depression, loss of consciousness, reckless self-harm, or even suicide. 6.            Refusing to Think: in contrast to those who overthink in the wrong direction As a result, the performance of the brain is severely reduced. People who don't come up with anything special In addition to thinking to live from day to day, such as eating food, strictly performing duties, it may seem superficially like a person who has achieved the truth of life. But that is another way to destroy the efficiency of the brain. Thanks for information from M.C.O.T.

Foods to Avoid

A specialist on clean food shared lots of helpful tips about Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for food factories. To sum it up, the main point is to be mindful about what you eat. You won’t suffer if you don’t acknowledge or see so just eat, eat, eat! Foods to Avoid 1.            When making pineapple-filled buns, use yam or other plant-based fillings and stir in sugar and flavorings. Do not use bleach powder, as it can cause kidney disease. If a transparent filling is desired, opt for stir-fried mango instead of bleaching agents. 2.            When purchasing cherries for cheap cakes at the fresh market, be aware that they may have been bleached until they become clear as jelly and then dyed red. 3.            When buying sushi from a hot market, be aware that bacteria will grow faster and should only be served cold. 4.            When buying eclairs with chub balls or any other foods that need to be molded or rubbed, buy from a reliable and reputable store to ensure better hygiene. Avoid buying candy with blue, green, or purple colors, as these are stored for a long time and therefore may not be safe to eat. 5.            During the end of summer and beginning of the rainy season, avoid eating seafood, as the rain may wash toxins from the ground into the sea, making seafood unsafe to consume. 6.            If food has been successfully packed, it should only be waved once. Do not wash the package and re-wave, as this can release toxins. 7.            When buying yogurt, be aware that it may contain up to 20% flour. To test if it is safe to consume, try adding iodine, which will cause the yogurt to turn blue. 8.            Fish sauce that has been opened should last no more than one month, and look out for mold on the bottle neck. 9.            When storing vegetables, do not use newspaper paper, as this contains toxins from the ink. 10.          Canned food, if not completely used, should be removed from the can and put in another container in the refrigerator. 11.          A dishwashing sponge with a solution mixed with water should not be left for more than an hour, as bacteria will grow and the sponge should be thrown away. 12.          When buying pickled vegetables, opt for canned pickles from reliable sources, as some factories may use unclean production processes. 13.          Draft beer is not filtered, meaning dead yeast will remain in the drink. Bottled beer has already been filtered and is safe to consume. 14.          Be aware of fermented foods, as they may contain viruses that can break down muscles. 15.          Finally, when buying any food, always look out for signs of contamination, such as mold, unsafe ingredients, and unclean production processes.

9 Diseases to Watch Out For This Summer

9 Diseases to Watch Out For This Summer   In this hot season, it's important to be aware of diseases such as gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses, which are more likely to occur due to the sweltering weather. Unclean food and perishable food can also cause these diseases to develop, so it is important to be careful when eating and drinking. It is also important to be vigilant for signs of illness and seek medical help if necessary.   1.             Diarrhea is a gastrointestinal illness caused by germs such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and worms. It is transmitted through contaminated food or water, and symptoms include loose stools more than 3 times a day, and watery or mucus mixed with blood. If not treated promptly and properly, it can lead to shock, loss of consciousness, and even death. 2.             Food poisoning is a very common gastrointestinal illness that is caused by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water. Common sources of contamination include raw or undercooked meats such as chicken, pork, beef, duck eggs, chicken eggs, and seafood. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and sometimes watery diarrhea, usually without fever. Most cases can heal on their own, but severe cases may require extra saline to be given orally or intravenously. 3.             Dysentery is a type of gastrointestinal illness with symptoms of bloody mucus mixed with stools, and straining pain in the anus. It is typically divided into Shigellosis (or body dysentery) and Amebiasis (or amoebic dysentery). 4.             Typhoid or typhoid fever is caused by a virus that enters the body through contaminated food or water. Common sources of contamination are milk, dairy products, shellfish, eggs, meat, and water. In the first week, symptoms usually include fever, headache, loss of appetite, fatigue, body aches, and chills. 5.             Cholera is a contagious illness caused by bacteria (Vibrio Cholerae) that enters the body through food or water contaminated with cholera. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. If not treated promptly, it can lead to death. 6.             Respiratory system diseases such as common cold, influenza, and pneumonia can be caused by changes in the weather or being in a poorly ventilated place. Symptoms may include headache, fever, coughing, and sneezing. To treat these illnesses, rest and drink plenty of warm water, and sleep separately from others. If the symptoms do not improve, see a doctor. 7.             Skin diseases in the summer may include rashes and blisters. To prevent them, bathe and clean the body regularly, and avoid contact with unclean water. 8.             Rabies or hydrophobia is a serious contagious illness that is mainly transmitted by dogs. To prevent it, people should get a rabies vaccine, and dogs should be vaccinated against rabies every year. 9.             Stress is one of the most common problems in the summer and can lead to headaches, insomnia, anger, and irritability. To relieve stress, escape the heat to a cool place, find a hobby to do, practice meditation, etc.     Preventions of summer diseases 1.             Make healthier food choices by focusing on freshness and cleanliness and drinking plenty of water. 2.             Exercise regularly, but don't overdo it in hot weather - limit your sessions to 30 minutes and take breaks if needed. 3.             Optimize the environment by ensuring that air is well ventilated and temperatures in air-conditioned rooms are kept at 25 degrees Celsius. 4.             Stay at home when possible, to save money during this economic downturn and to avoid sunstroke. If going out is necessary, wear a hat or open an umbrella. 5.             Avoid drinking hot alcohol, especially if you have underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease, as it can be dangerous for your health.
