WEBE Wellness: Staying Safe This Summer

The final weekend of June is upon us, and the Fourth of July is next week, so you’re gonna be spending a lot of time outside in the near future. But it is important to stay safe and avoid potentially dangerous things this season.

First, insect bites – use repellent, wear long clothing, since both mosquitos and ticks carry diseases.

And stay hydrated and cool whenever and wherever you can because heat-related illnesses kill more people each year than tornados, hurricanes, and floods.

Plus, wear sunscreen – sunburns are never fun and they can be deadly in the long run because of skin cancer.

And make sure you do stay safe in the water as well – more than 4,000 people drown annually.

Finally, food poisoning is more prevalent in the summer – because many people handle raw meat while grilling and they don’t always wash their hands.

So take these tips, and have a healthy, happy Summer.

WEBE Wellness: Healthier Toothbrushing

Did you brush your teeth today? Well, hopefully you did – but, more importantly, did you brush correctly?

Many of us brush our teeth wrong – and there are big mistakes dentists say they see all the time.

First – brushing too hard. It’s bad for your gums, and the bristles can’t do their job – and that goes for both manual and electric toothbrushes.

Also, don’t rinse right after you brush as it flushes the fluoride away – you should wait at least two minutes.

You also should swap out your toothbrush more often – every three months, instead of every time you go to the dentist.

When you brush is important – you want to wait at least 30 minutes after having something too sugary or acidic.

Finally, you may have heard baking soda is good for your teeth, but it’s too abrasive and can damage your enamel.

WEBE Wellness: Protecting Yourself Against Mosquitos

With the summer heat and humidity upon us, it’s a reminder that we’re in the middle of mosquito season. And that best way to avoid getting sick is to prevent mosquito bites.

The CDC has some tips on how to do just that:

First, if you’ve got stagnant water anywhere near your home, make sure you dump it out, as it can be a breeding ground for mosquitos, and can potentially make pets sick if they drink it.

Use insect repellent every time you go out – in addition to sunscreen, it should be a part of your daily routine.

If you’re going to be spending time in a wooded area, try to wear either long sleeve shirts or long pants, or both.

If you do keep your doors and windows open, make sure they have screens – it’ll prevent insects from getting in.
