The main causes of poisoning the summer can be a walk in nature with a diverse forest eating sweets (of course, why wash), strawberries, cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden, barbecue and outdoor recreation. In addition, it is time to begin mushroom, poisoning, which leads to disastrous consequences. Well, if only a little after poisoning illness of the stomach, sit on the toilet, manifest diarrhea or vomiting. Or perhaps a far more serious.

That we have not touched the topic of food poisoning in the summer on the beach, the poisoning of poor quality water. These topics will be posyascheny following publication.

By weight, food poisoning can be divided into easy, medium and severe food poisoning. In medicine, food poisoning is divided according to etiological features:

Microbial nature.
Nemikrobnoy nature.
Other unclarified (not included in the first two cases) etiology.
In this note we will not get into the far wilderness medicine, and yet at the household level, we solve the following problems:

To prevent food-borne illnesses include:

Wash hands after public transport, toilets, pets.
Thorough washing of food in cold water.
For some foods (eg, fungi) requires a mandatory heat treatment. Sometimes it requires repeated boiling and rinsing.
Water should be boiled, especially the water from the tap. Spring water is useful, but we must look derives from a spring, and at what runs through the territory.
Sometimes food poisoning causes too much to eat the product. For example, eat a couple pounds of cucumbers or tomatoes in one sitting. I think that the stomach will not like it.
Care should be taken, what foods we take in food. If the product is spoiled - it is a poison (weak, but the poison). Very often make salads, such as a birthday or a wedding, and served on the table is 2.4 hours after preparation (at best). Keep nowhere, refrigerators packed, and salads on the table is no longer fresh. There are people who are on the second day of festivities exhibit the same salad on the table, and then the risk of acute food poisoning earn guaranteed.
With regard to fungi: how many times has said, gather mushrooms only tested and do not touch the knife other unidentified fungi. That's not the same: and in a basket with a knife fly agaric toadstool and some of the cut. The result - in the best case for the Hospital of the mushroom picker, at worst - a hospital and a cemetery for mushroom pickers and their families.

The bacteria can easily enter the body and the decomposition of toxins - endotoxin (LPS). To include the causative agents of food intoxication protein exotoxins C. perfringens, C. botulinum, Staphylococcus aureus, C. difficile.


Secrets of proper tanning in the sun


As soon as the summer season, we hear and read that a tan can be taken only at a certain time until the sun is fairly safe for the skin. Right sunbathe need at this time of the morning, while not included in the zenith of up to 10-11 hours, and after 16. And stay in the sun for more than two hours is harmful to the body.

To avoid burns, accustom the body to the sun gradually. Start with a couple of minutes tanning in the sun a day, constantly increasing the time sunbathing. As a rule, occur as soon as the days are warm, we go to t-shirts, shorts, not daring to immediately strip to bikini - and it's the right decision. Just because a tan in the sun will be a beautiful, uniform, and the skin will not burn.

The question of proper sun in hot countries is especially important. Hiding under a straw umbrella, people think that they are defended from the sun. This is not the case, the rays penetrate through the defense. But they are not as warm, plus the wind, that's a feeling of comfort zone. Therefore, in the first or second day of arrival if you want to sunbathe properly, try not to sunbathe on the direct sunlight at all, and spend the most sunshine in the room or hotel lobby.

Do not forget that the sun should take care of your hair - hat, panama, scarf or hat made of cotton fabric loose - an excellent choice. His eyes hide behind dark sunglasses, even just going for a walk with no intention to lie on the beach.

An important point - you want to sunbathe properly discard books and magazines - reading, we fall in love and often miss the moment when it's time to stop to take a tan. Especially do not sleep. Do not go to the beach immediately after a meal - exhaust. Do not drink cold drinks, give them a little hot. Alcohol and sunburn, too incompatible, since alcohol blocks the sensitivity of the skin.

10 minutes - as many experts are allowed to be a man in the scorching southern sun. In the mean time of continuous band of tan in the sun should not exceed 20 minutes.

The correct tan in the sun requires the mandatory use of a cream with a protection from ultraviolet radiation. You can start with funds from higher levels of SPF, then buy at a lower level. If you have dark skin, it contains more melanin, respectively, you can immediately start with a low rate of protection.

Skin care in summer



First of all, you have to pay maximum attention to the protection of their skin. And no wonder! After a warm summer day, it is unfortunately subject to many adverse effects. Heat, dust, ultraviolet rays of the sun - all this is bad for the skin, irritating it and causing premature aging.

Therefore, in the summer should pay special attention to day cream. They have to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays, that is, contain sunscreens are stronger than you used in the winter (that is, on average, 10-20).

But, unfortunately, many do not knowingly buy sunscreen, thinking that they prevent the occurrence of sunburn. This is not the case. If you use these drugs appears tan on his face, of course, not so fast as usual. But it is more even and steady, while the face and our body is not applied to almost any harm.

As in winter, summer day cream must protect your skin from free radicals that oxidize skin cells and cause their death. This function operates vitamins E, C, B, A, are included in many cosmetic preparations.

The texture of cream should be light, so they are well absorbed through the skin and does not leave greasy film on it, because in the heat, it will interfere with the evaporation of moisture, creating a unique effect of "steam", and the skin becomes hot.

So what are the nutritional fatty cream, which saved our face from the cold winter wind and summer should be replaced by gentle emulsion. Incidentally, this also applies to skin care at night. Indeed, in the warmth of your skin is absolutely no reason to "steam" under a layer of fat cream. Treat with something easier.
Remember, you need skin in the winter high-calorie diet, in the summer gives way to increased protection and moisture (http://www.cofe.ru/apple).

Cleansing the skin

As you know, in the hot period the skin more susceptible to contamination. Therefore, in the evening, along with make-up is imperative to wash away the remnants of dust accumulated in the pores of the day.

However, when performing this procedure is very important not to deprive the skin of vital moisture. In the application of products based on natural ingredients, the skin is cleansed without removing the natural lipid film and the violation of the acid cover. Particularly contribute to the careful purification by means of the juice of white grapes, kiwi, strawberries, cranberries and green tea. Apply the cleanser with the help of cosmetic wipes, cotton ball or drive to the skin, starting from the base of the neck towards the chin, mouth, nose, cheeks, temples and forehead. Then, depending on your skin type and preferences, the cleanser is removed with a cotton pad soaked in lotion, tonic, or just rinse with water. If money was not ready at hand, just make a mask of fresh strawberries, kiwi fruit or rubbing the skin cut into two halves of the grape.

Toning the skin

Tonics remove all traces of dirt, dust and grease left over after the initial purification. They remove the remnants of cleanser, stimulate circulation and restore the acid cover.

Conventionally, they can be divided into "softening" (designed for dry and sensitive skin), "tonic" (for normal skin) and "pulling together" (for oily skin). Apply toner to a cotton swab, which wiped the face, starting from the base of the neck and moving in the same direction as that of a clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Suitable for dry skin tonics, which include those kiwi, peach juice, rose petals, green tea. On oily skin have a beneficial effect of blackberry juice, apricot and marigold extract. For normal and combination skin is better to choose agents based on the mango, strawberry, or an extract of cornflower. They both tone, moisturize and nourish the skin.

Moisturizing the skin

Winter skin hydration is mainly carried out only at night, but in summer it should be more intensive (both morning and evening). Moisturizers help restore and maintain the natural level of moisture in the skin, which is especially needed in the hot season.

They form a thin film on the skin, preventing evaporation of moisture and protects skin from harmful environmental factors. On clean skin, apply moisturizer with your fingertips on the various points along the line from the throat, chin, cheeks and forehead.

Then spread on the skin circular motion, starting from the base of the neck and moving higher, avoiding the eye area. When cleaning, toning and moisturizing is very important, moving from top to bottom.

Power of the skin

It should be remembered that the power of the skin is not only with fatty components. In this procedure also includes vitamin fortification both outside and inside.

In summer, we are able to saturate our diet in fruits and vegetables, which instantly affects the improvement of the condition of our skin. An excellent year, "resource" and masks are made of berries, fruits and vegetables that can be easily found on our suburban areas (strawberry, apricot, cucumber and others). When selecting a cosmetic skin-care routine must pay attention to their consistency. Even if you have dry skin, consistency of the "old" cream should be as easy. He must quickly absorbed, leaving the skin greasy and not clogging pores. Creams and tonics that are based on algae extracts, green tea, grapefruit juice, especially good for a morning deposition in hot weather. They provide a comprehensive action - tone, nourish, moisturize skin, protect it from toxins. On the face is a pleasant sensation of coolness and freshness, which we do not have enough in hot weather.


Skin protection

The benefits and dangers of tanning, perhaps says it all, or almost everything. In any case, a few recommendations for those who trustingly substitutes its face the sun, forgetting for a long winter of their perfidy. If you spend days walking down the street without dark glasses and a hat with a wide brim, your day cream must contain a sunscreen component - at least SPF8. Cream around the eyes, too, should protect and where possible to cool - in fact the first facial wrinkles appear there, and ultraviolet light greatly accelerates the process. Use a gel around the eyes many times a day, how much do you think is necessary. Wear dark glasses, even in cold weather - it helps not to squint and do not provoke the emergence of those "crow's feet."

Avoid prolonged sun exposure between 12.00 and 14.00. At this time, the power of sunlight is greatest.

If you sunbathe, apply the sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure and do not forget to do it again after bathing. Required coefficient of sun on the package of tanning (SPF), depending on skin type and determines the length of time during which the skin can stay in the sun without causing burns. The average time is 1 5 minutes. For example, a product with sun protection factor of 4, provides protection from the sun for about 1 hour (http://www.superkras.narod.ru)

Sweating

Weathered, flushed, perspiring face needs a refurbishment, but do not take the time to wash them in cold water. First you need to wipe the cream 1-2 times or sour milk, and after 10-15 minutes - the tea room temperature or infusion of sage. In the still damp skin should apply the cream.

At constant sweating of the skin can wash herbs St. John's wort extract (1 tbsp. L. To 1 cup boiling water). To clean and freshen the face fit fresh juices - tomato, cucumber, grape, watermelon, etc.

For oily skin and severe sweating, you can use restorative lotions that contain alcohol (no more than 30%).

It is a mistake, as if on hot summer days it is not necessary to use creams because the skin is already sweaty and shiny. The epidermis, devoid of sebum, it becomes less resistant to sunlight, cold, wind, etc. Low-fat skin on hot days sweat evaporates more, which leads to even more of its dryness.

The sweat on his face you can not irritate the skin and wipe with a handkerchief. It is better to put a paper towel to the face with powder.

Often a person sweats can be caused by the fact that summer day, a day cream is used instead of an evening or day cream is applied longer than necessary. The reason for facial sweating may be the wrong choice of a day cream. For example, moisturizers and a variety of bio cream in young women can cause sweating face at any temperature. Need to remember in the summer and the powder, especially owners of oily skin.

Strengthening of the skin

In the summer the skin of any type strengthens the morning wash in cold water with a gradual decrease in temperature. For this purpose, after sleeping face and neck smeared with the juice of fresh vegetables or fruit (one or two is enough berries or slices of fruit) and then on a dry or irritated skin, causing oil or cream. After 5-10 minutes you can wash in cold water, oily skin rubbed with a piece of ice. Skin sensitivity or dilated capillaries can not handle the ice. After that, dry skin causing fat cream, oily skin smeared with tonic lotion, and then dried on the skin non-greasy cream is applied.

For dry skin, particularly beneficial effect has moist air. Sea and sun bathing at this skin must be taken in moderation.

And a few more tips:

Do not overdo with the makeup. Day make-up on a hot day should be the maximum easy and natural: a thin layer of foundation with SPF-filter, mascara, lip gloss, a few pencil strokes for eyebrows (you can put gel). But even such an ascetic during the summer make-up day will have to upgrade. Stock up on special cleaning cloths, and thermal water.

Lovely refreshing lotion for the face can be made at home. Simply mix the juice of half a lemon with a glass of mineral carbonated water. Wipe it with tonic skin before you apply makeup. If your skin noticeably nibbling - add a little water. Lemon Toner refreshes and noticeably tightens the skin. The effect of its use is comparable with the effect of lifting.
