Protecting ourselves during the summer season is crucial for maintaining robust health and a strong immune system, allowing us to fully enjoy the season with those we care about.  

With increased travel and social gatherings, we are more exposed to new germs and pathogens, and traveling introduces us to different environments that require our immune systems to work harder. Crowded places like tourist spots, amusement parks, and public pools facilitate the spread of germs, while frequent transitions between hot outdoor weather and cool indoor environments can stress the immune system.

Engaging in outdoor activities like camping, hiking, and swimming exposes us to unfamiliar bacteria and viruses. Additionally, summer diets often include more barbecued foods, ice creams, and sugary drinks, which can decrease the intake of essential nutrients needed for immune support.

The risk of foodborne illnesses increases with outdoor cooking and picnics, and staying hydrated is vital, as dehydration can impair the immune system. High temperatures can cause heat stress, and the increased activity of mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects raises the risk of diseases like Lyme disease and West Nile virus.

Higher pollen levels during the summer can trigger seasonal allergies, and while sun exposure is beneficial for vitamin D, prolonged exposure can lead to sunburn and heat exhaustion.
