They just don\u2019t always follow through,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/robert-venuti-do\">Robert L. Venuti, DO<\/a>, Family Medicine Physician with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/cooper-care-alliance\">Cooper Care Alliance<\/a>. \u201cBut simple, smart precautions can really make a difference and keep the fun going.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>1. Respect the Sun<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard the message about the importance of sunscreen; however, skin cancer rates are on the rise, says Cooper Care Alliance\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/kelly-sharkey-msn\">Kelly Sharkey, MSN, APN, FNP-C<\/a>. \u201cYou can get third-degree burns from the sun. It is important to wear sunscreen with at least 30 or 50 SPF, but 50 is preferred and be sure to reapply often,\u201d she says. \u201cWear sunglasses to protect your eyes. People who are fair skinned and have light eyes can have an increased risk of cataracts because of sun damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>2. Know When You\u2019re Too Hot<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve all experienced extremely hot days, when we sweat and feel drained, but when does the heat become dangerous to our health?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur body gives us several signs to let us know we may be suffering from heat exhaustion,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/dana-zeiner-msn\">Dana Zeiner, MSN, APN, FNP-BC<\/a> of Cooper Care Alliance. \u201cIf you\u2019ve been sweating most of the day and then you suddenly stop sweating, that\u2019s a red flag. Other signs include feeling faint, producing dark urine, or experiencing muscle cramps. If you\u2019re tracking your heart rate, heat exhaustion will make your heart rate increase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you think you may have heat exhaustion,\u201d Zeiner says, \u201cget out of the sun, find a cool spot (preferably in air conditioning), elevate your feet, and drink plenty of water.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t Forget Your Bike Helmet<\/h3>\n<p>Most adults make sure their children are wearing helmets when riding a bike, but may not follow the same rule when they go for a ride. \u201cIt only takes a split second for a severe accident to occur while bike riding, especially on streets and roads shared with cars. Kids and adults should always wear helmets,\u201d Dr. Venuti says. He also suggests wearing bright and reflective clothing, riding in the same direction as traffic, and staying alert at all times.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Keep Everyone Away From the Grill<\/h3>\n<p>No matter how good those burgers look, keep kids and pets away from the grill. \u201cGrease burns can be severe,\u201d Sharkey explains. \u201cBe sure your grill is clean, and always have a first aid kit and fire extinguisher nearby, because a grease fire can persist even after you turn off the propane.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>5. Swim With Friends<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cNo matter how good of a swimmer you are, never swim alone,\u201d Zeiner says, \u201cespecially when swimming in the ocean, where currents can be strong and dangerous. Pools have their own dangers. It\u2019s easy to accidentally slip and hit your head in and around pools.\u201d When in the ocean, lake, or pool with children, never let them out of your sight and encourage safe behaviors, she adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want everyone to have a fun summer and stay safe at the same time,\u201d Dr. Venuti adds. \u201cAccidents happen, but many can be prevented. Be smart and stay safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooper Care Alliance is a primary and specialty physician and advanced practice provider group with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>, the region\u2019s leading academic health system.

Simplemente no siempre cumplen\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/robert-venuti-do\">Robert L. Venuti, DO<\/a>, m\u00e9dico de medicina familiar de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/cooper-care-alliance\">Cooper Care Alliance<\/a>. \u201cPero las precauciones simples e inteligentes realmente pueden marcar la diferencia y mantener la diversi\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Respeta el sol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Todos hemos escuchado el mensaje sobre la importancia del protector solar; sin embargo, las tasas de c\u00e1ncer de piel est\u00e1n aumentando, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/kelly-sharkey-msn\">Kelly Sharkey, MSN, APN, FNP-C<\/a> de Cooper Care Alliance. \u201cPuedes sufrir quemaduras de tercer grado por el sol. Es importante usar protector solar con al menos 30 o 50 SPF, pero se prefiere 50 y aseg\u00farese de volver a aplicarlo con frecuencia\u201d, dice ella. \u201cUsa lentes de sol para proteger tus ojos. Las personas de piel clara y ojos claros pueden tener un mayor riesgo de cataratas debido al da\u00f1o solar\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Sepa cu\u00e1ndo tiene demasiado calor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Todos hemos experimentado d\u00edas extremadamente calurosos, en los que sudamos y nos sentimos agotados, pero \u00bfcu\u00e1ndo el calor se vuelve peligroso para nuestra salud?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNuestro cuerpo nos da varias se\u00f1ales para avisarnos que podemos estar sufriendo de agotamiento por calor\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/dana-zeiner-msn\">Dana Zeiner, MSN, APN, FNP-BC<\/a> de Cooper Care Alliance. \u201cSi ha estado sudando la mayor parte del d\u00eda y de repente deja de sudar, eso es una se\u00f1al de alerta. Otros signos incluyen sentirse mareado, producir orina oscura o experimentar calambres musculares. Si est\u00e1 monitoreando su ritmo card\u00edaco, el agotamiento por calor har\u00e1 que su ritmo card\u00edaco aumente\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Si cree que puede tener agotamiento por calor&#8221;, dice Zeiner, &#8220;salga del sol, busque un lugar fresco (preferiblemente con aire acondicionado), eleve los pies y beba mucha agua&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. No olvides tu casco de bicicleta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La mayor\u00eda de los adultos se aseguran de que sus hijos usen cascos cuando andan en bicicleta, pero es posible que no sigan la misma regla cuando van a dar un paseo. \u201cSolo se necesita una fracci\u00f3n de segundo para que ocurra un accidente grave al andar en bicicleta, especialmente en calles y caminos compartidos con autom\u00f3viles. Los ni\u00f1os y los adultos siempre deben usar cascos\u201d, dice el Dr. Venuti. Tambi\u00e9n sugiere usar ropa brillante y reflectante, conducir en la misma direcci\u00f3n que el tr\u00e1fico y mantenerse alerta en todo momento.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Mantenga a todos alejados de la parrilla<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No importa qu\u00e9 tan buenas se vean esas hamburguesas, mantenga a los ni\u00f1os y las mascotas alejados de la parrilla. \u201cLas quemaduras por grasa pueden ser graves\u201d, explica Sharkey. \u201cAseg\u00farese de que su parrilla est\u00e9 limpia y siempre tenga cerca un botiqu\u00edn de primeros auxilios y un extinguidor de incendios, porque un fuego de grasa puede persistir incluso despu\u00e9s de apagar el propano\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Nadar con amigos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo importa lo buen nadador que sea, nunca nade solo\u201d, dice Zeiner, \u201cespecialmente cuando nade en el oc\u00e9ano, donde las corrientes pueden ser fuertes y peligrosas. Las piscinas tienen sus propios peligros. Es f\u00e1cil resbalar accidentalmente y golpearse la cabeza dentro y alrededor de las piscinas\u201d. Cuando est\u00e9 en el oc\u00e9ano, el lago o la piscina con ni\u00f1os, nunca los pierda de vista y fomente comportamientos seguros, agrega.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQueremos que todos tengan un verano divertido y se mantengan seguros al mismo tiempo\u201d, agrega el Dr. Venuti. \u201cLos accidentes ocurren, pero muchos se pueden prevenir. S\u00e9 inteligente y mantente a salvo\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooper Care Alliance es un m\u00e9dico primario y especializado y un grupo de proveedores de pr\u00e1ctica avanzada con Cooper University Health Care, el sistema acad\u00e9mico de salud l\u00edder en la regi\u00f3n.
