What rules should gardeners follow when working in their gardens: everything to avoid harming their health
If you work a lot in the garden and want to avoid unpleasant health consequences, listen to the advice of doctors.
Thus, neurologist Yulia Yarygina reminds: people suffering from pressure drops should not spend a lot of time bent over a garden bed.
This position can lead to a deterioration in the blood supply to the brain. As a result, the risk of stroke and heart failure increases.
To prevent this, stock up on a low chair or create raised beds in the garden.
The next trouble that awaits summer residents arises as a result of inadequate physical activity, which causes pain in the neck and lower back, and in older people - a general deterioration in health.
To prevent exacerbation of chronic diseases, you should adhere to a gentle activity regimen and avoid hypothermia: do not work in bad weather, do not sit on damp, cold ground, wear dry clothes and shoes.
To protect joints, the specialist advises using special knee pads.
Lastly, don't forget that working in the garden during hot hours of the day can lead to heatstroke and sunstroke.
It is necessary to distribute the load throughout the day so as not to stay in the scorching sun for too long.
