Breath Easier this Summer!

Did you know that our summer heat can make breathing more challenging, especially for those with respiratory conditions? Hot, humid weather and rising air pollution can lead to shortness of breath and discomfort.

Here are a few tips to help you stay well during the summer:

Keep it cool: Stay indoors during the hottest part of the day, especially if the air quality is poor. Use fans or air conditioning to stay comfortable.

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your airways moist and reduce the risk of irritation.

• Plan ahead: Schedule outdoor activities in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler and pollution levels are lower.

• Be mindful of triggers: High pollen counts, smoke, or dusty conditions can irritate your lungs.

Use your supports: If you have a prescribed inhaler or other respiratory aids, keep them with you and ensure they’re in good working condition.

Your health comes first! Let’s make this summer safe and enjoyable for everyone.
