It is currently very hot in Germany and Austria. The high temperatures change our daily life. Experts give tips for health. Many people have less hunger in the heat. The body does not want heat from digesting food. Some people still gain weight in the summer. They drink sweet drinks. They move less.
You must be careful in the sun outside. A 'Sonnen-Stich' can be dangerous. You get a headache and feel sick. Babies and old people are in danger. They should drink a lot of water. Donating blood is also important in the heat. The Red Cross says: Donating blood is safe. Drink enough water before. Rest well afterwards.
There are also tips for grilling. Do not use 'Alu-Schalen'. Salt and acid dissolve metal from the tray. The metal lands in the food. Stainless steel trays are better. Many people go to the lake to cool down. Experts warn: Do not pee in the lake. Urine helps algae grow. This hurts small lakes.
