To enjoy the carnival in health it is necessary to be attentive to food, to have skin care and to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases.
Excessive alcohol and sun and sleepless nights can have serious health consequences, such as heat stroke, inflammation of the liver, dehydration, frequent vomiting and fainting. So, to avoid these problems and make the most of your party days, here are 10 tips for enjoying Carnival in good health.
1. Use a condom in all relationships
Using condoms in all intimate relationships is the best way to prevent unwanted pregnancies and avoid sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis, genital herpes and AIDS.
In addition, it is important to remember that the morning after pill should not be used constantly, especially during Carnival, as it contains a large amount of hormones that, together with excess alcohol, can harm the body.
2. Avoid kissing on the lips of unknown people
The kiss can transmit diseases like cold sores, candidiasis, mononucleosis, caries and gingivitis, which is an inflammation in the gums that causes pain and bleeding.
It is important to remember that the chances of catching diseases through kissing are even greater when there are sores in the mouth, as the entry of viruses and bacteria is easier through the wound, and it is possible to transmit even the AIDS virus. Check out what are the main diseases transmitted by kissing.
3. Drink plenty of water
Drinking plenty of water will help the body stay hydrated, preventing dryness and skin burns, heat stroke, malaise, dizziness and hangover, as water helps to eliminate alcohol from the body.
In addition to water, you should also drink nutritious fluids that replenish vitamins and minerals in the body, such as natural juices, vitamins, coconut water and isotonic drinks. Check out some delicious flavored water recipes to stay hydrated.
4. Avoid being exposed to direct sunlight
Excessive sun causes dehydration, skin burns and worsens hangover symptoms. Thus, one should avoid being exposed to the sun, especially between 10 am and 4 pm, and always wear sunglasses, hats and sunscreen, which must be reapplied every 2 hours.
5. Use sunscreen suitable for lips and hair
Excessive sun and alcohol causes dehydration, which also causes dryness of the lips and hair, so it is important to use lip sunscreen and thermal hair creams, which should also be reapplied every day or two. 3 hours.
See how to choose and apply the sunscreen correctly.
6. Eat every 3 hours
Eating every 3 hours helps to maintain the body's energy and replenishes vitamins and minerals that are spent to eliminate alcohol from the body.
Making small snacks with fresh fruits, vitamins, sandwiches or crackers helps to keep your body well nourished and prepared to enjoy the festive days.
7. Wear light clothing and comfortable shoes
Light clothing and comfortable shoes should be worn to avoid excessive heat and the formation of calluses and blisters on the feet. As you are usually standing for a long time during the carnival, the ideal is to wear comfortable sneakers with socks, and massage your toes and feet in the late evening or early morning.
8. Don't overdo the pills and energy drinks
The tablets and energy drinks are rich in caffeine, a substance that can cause insomnia and disrupt the rest of the body to face a new day of celebration.
In addition, taking caffeine together with alcoholic beverages can cause arrhythmias and heart palpitations, and worsen the symptoms of burning in the stomach and gastritis.
9. Keep your vaccines up to date
Keeping vaccines up to date is important because during the carnival, accidents with glass bottles or broken metal objects on the street, which are sources of tetanus bacteria, are common. In addition, the presence of tourists and crowds of people facilitate the transmission of diseases such as viruses and measles, which can be avoided with vaccination.
10. Sleep well
Although sleeping is not a priority at Carnival, you should try to rest at least 7 or 8 hours a day, to replenish your energy and avoid tiredness and irritation.
If you are unable to sleep late after the party night, you should try to take short breaks throughout the day or take a nap after lunch. To recover faster, see 4 tips to cure your hangover
