For months and months we Canadians impatiently await the arrival of summer. We long for this amazing season for so long, and when it’s finally here, we embrace it wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, summer is also full of not so fun surprises which are all-too ready to rain on your parade. These surprises also try to damper the good times at picnics, pool parties, and backyard barbecues.
I’m talking about 4 of the most common summer health issues which are allergies, sunburns, sore feet, and body pain. Depending on the summer activity, you may even experience a combination of these! Thing is, we wait for the summer months with so much anticipation, we need tactics to tackle these issues so that we can truly enjoy the season without distress.
Tackle 4 of the most Common Summer Health Issues:
- Problem: Allergies
If you’re a summer allergy sufferer, you know a runny nose and constant sneezing can really put a damper on your summer plans.
Try: Claritin®
Help take a break from allergy symptoms with Claritin®. It’s non-drowsy so you don’t need to slow down to smell the roses (unless you want to, of course).
- Problem: Sunburns
Phew, that summer sun really burns! Stick to the shade this summer and keep the whole family covered with hats, long sleeves and a sunscreen you can trust.
Try: Coppertone®
I’ve had my kids slathered in Coppertone® since they were babies! No one’s getting a burn on my watch. It’s Canada’s #1 sun care brand and keeps us covered from beach to barbeque.
- Problem: Sore Feet
With all the activities we do in the summer, my feet really take a beating. Especially on those days when I pick the cute shoes over the practical padded ones.
Try: Dr. Scholl’s® For Her® Comfort Insoles
Hello sweet cushiony comfort! Grab a pair of these and stay on your feet longer. Dr. Scholl’s® even makes a high-heel version for summer date nights.
