You may think they're trivial and not worth
sharing but those little health concerns
that interfere with your day are far more
common than you might think - and
can often be solved quickly and easily.
Read on for your comprehensive guide
to addressing those pesky summer
health worries.
Q. The summer heat can leave
me sweaty and, to be honest,
a little smelly. What can I do?
A. "When you exercise or get too warm,
your sweat glands release sweat to cool
down your body. This can also happen
when you're feeling stressed or nervous,"
says Priceline Pharmacist Jane McLean.
"When sweat comes into contact with
the bacteria on your skin, body odour is
formed." If you're feeling self-conscious,
Jane suggests reviewing your choice of
deodorant and making sure you opt for
a quality antiperspirant.

Q. I thought eczema was a winter
ailment but mine seems to flare up
year-round. Please help!
A. It's true- the cold, dry air of winter
usually makes eczema worse. But
summer presents its own challenges;
chemical sunscreens, sweating and
swimming can all cause further irritation.
Keep eczema in check by staying cool,
rinsing off after taking a dip and ensuring
skin stays clean with a mild body wash
and facial cleanser that won't strip the
skin of its natural oils. Hydration is also
key. Up the ante with a moisturiser
spiked with ceramides - the fatty acids
lock moisture in and can help soothe
irritated skin.

Q. What's the best way to
prevent heartburn? I suffer from
it regularly and it's stopping me
from enjoying the foods I love.
A. That painful, burning sensation you
get in your chest is caused by stomach
acid coming back up your oesophagus,
and can be triggered by spicy foods,
tomato-based products, chocolate and
coffee (to name a few things). While
it's uncomfortable, the good news is
that it's rarely a reason for alarm and
it can be prevented. Eat smaller, more
frequent meals, try to eat your last meal
a few hours before bedtime and elevate
your upper body with pillows when you
do turn in for the night. Medication that
decreases the amount of acid made
by the stomach can also provide relief.
Look for one that's long-lasting so you
can get on with your day without giving
heartburn another thought.

Q. How can I ease the discomfort
of sore, irritated eyes?
A. It all comes down to the cause.
If you wear contact lenses, use a
targeted formula to make sure the
lenses stay clean, conditioned and
comfortable all day. If allergies are
the culprit, regular use of an intranasal
corticosteroid spray can provide
extended relief from itchy eyes as well
as other symptoms, such as nasal
congestion and sneezing. Think it's
just a case of too much screen time
or environmental factors, like wind or
pollution? Pick a multipurpose product
that helps replenish all layers of tear
film, no matter the cause.
