Mallorca is in the midst of a major heatwave. Here are some tips on how to keep safe.
The main risks posed by a heatwave are:
- not drinking enough water (dehydration)
- overheating, which can make symptoms worse for people who already have problems with their heart or breathing
- heat exhaustion and heatstroke

My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2014, but was diagnosed in 2016. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Tree of Life Health clinic. It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit w w w. healthcareherbalcentre .com I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others. ]
My husband was diagnosed of Parkinson's disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Sinemet for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Sifrol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from Health Care HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the Health Care HERBAL Parkinson's disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! Visit w w w. healthcareherbalcentre .com
"I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) more than 6 years ago. The tremors started affecting my left hand at first, 3 years later it affected my left leg causing me to walk funny( jerking movements) every time. I was taking levodopa/ cabridopa. In April 2017, I had deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure done. DBS helps me tremendously but I still have to take levodopa/cabridopa 3 times a day, maximum dose: 25 mg/100mg x2 . I try amantadine but no help. I was approved by my neurologist to try feasible alternatives to my current prescribed medication in the hope of improving my quality of life. and I have to say this natural treatment is a 100% game changer for anyone with PD. It has been a complete turnaround with my balance, mobility,double vision, swollen feet, speech and tremors this is the best that I've felt in years. VISIT www. kycuyuhealthclinic. com Thank You Kycuyu.I have stop taking levodopa completely for several months, at least 7 months now, and still feel great.”
@ Lucianda It is called placebo or sugar pills. And actually works! Alone, the placebo effect is quite weak; the body notices quite quickly if the drug does not help, and when you start to doubt, the effect disappears. Therefore, you should use the placebo effect together with other active medicines, this is when the effect becomes the strongest and longest lasting. This month I listened to a science program on the radio and there they wanted to compare a psychiatric method with a placebo method, namely kitchen table psychology. It turned out that both "scientific" psychology and kitchen table psychology had the same effect. Sigmund Freud developed his psychoanalysis from a German who was just using a kitchen table psychology with which he "treated" a woman. Then Sigmund added a lot of balderdash. But all of you who are versed in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel know that everything goes in the opposite direction: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)!
Get cool inside! Best tricks to fix coolness at home When the summer heat comes, it's sad to complain. But when the house or apartment is turned into a sauna and it is difficult to sleep, anyone can get frustrated. What luck that there are lots of tricks to get it cooler inside! Whatever you do - do not try to ventilate by opening the window. Here we tell you how to keep the heat away from the house and instead it gets cool when the sun is scorching. Shut out the sun Suddenly it becomes summer, the heat comes as a shock and it becomes difficult to get away from it. Many people open windows and doors in the belief that it is cooling down the home, but no - stop! All you do is let in the heat. Think the opposite. Be sure to close all windows as soon as the sun reaches your house and keep them closed during the hottest part of the day. Pull down the blinds and draw the curtains during the day, so you shut out the sun's heat. Hang sheets or blankets over the window Sunscreen on the windows, aluminum awnings and sun-insulated curtains provide even better protection against the sun's heat. You can also hang sheets or a blanket for the windows if the usual blinds are not enough. Maybe not the most aesthetic choice - but it does its job and avoiding sauna heat when it's bedtime can be worth it. Do not make the mistake of having windows open to get air in during the day. Close windows and draw curtains to keep the sun out. Open windows late in the day When it is cooler outside and the sun is no longer on, you can open the windows to get some cold. Always sleep with the window open. Choose the windows that are strategically best placed, so that the cooler air starts to blow in already in the evening. Feel free to keep interior doors open during the day, even wardrobe doors and kitchen doors can mean that the heat is not stored and that it is faster to get cool in the evening. Soak the sheets to get extra coolness If it is still not enough to open the windows in the evening, try spraying a sheet with cold water. Then hang it in front of an open window, and the wind that passes in will cool down the window. Fix cross strokes - the only time an open door is good during the day Crusades starting early in the morning can work well. Make sure that the blinds on the south side are down and then open two windows at each end of the home. A small gap is enough. If you need to cool off, stand in the draft and enjoy the wind. If you have doors in each part of your house, you can open them as well A table fan may be worth investing in. Buy a fan that cools you down Air conditioning is nice and luxurious - but perhaps not absolutely necessary at our latitudes. For the hot summer days we have, it may be enough to invest in a ceiling fan or a regular table fan or floor fan. Position it so that it gets the cooler air from the floor and blows warm air up to the ceiling. But there is no point in leaving a fan on in a room where no one is staying, then the room will actually only get warmer. Cotton breathes, and yes, that also applies to cotton sheets. Therefore, opt out of your nice satin sheets during the summer heat for a while and prioritize the cotton and sleep. You can get the heat down even more with the help of a bowl of ice? Make your own air conditioning - with a fan and a bowl of ice If you have no AC - arrange a self-made air conditioner. Fill a shallow bowl with plenty of ice. Place the bowl in front of the fan and start it. As the ice evaporates, the air in the room will cool down. Turn off the computer and other heat sources Turn off all heat sources in the home. Do not use the stove or the usual oven, eat a salad instead or use the microwave if you want to eat something hot. Turn off the computer when not in use and do not leave the TV on in heat-generating stand-by mode! Feel free to skip the dryer and do not leave the newly run dishwasher open and let out all the heat!
Does that mean as a waiter I don't have to wear a mask for 12hrs in direct sunlight? Thought not....
Around age 60 I noticed that my handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster. I also noticed a small tremor in my right hand. The doctor went over my different symptoms and he suspected I’d either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson ‘s disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing I was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 4 years ago. I took Sinimet four times a day to control my symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech, A year ago, I began to do a lot of research and came across Kycuyu Health Clinic (www. kycuyuhealthclinic. com) and their Parkinson’s HERBAL TREATMENT. After seeing positive reviews from other patients, I quickly started on the treatment, I experienced significant reduction/decline in major symptoms, including tremors, muscle weakness, speech problems, difficulty swallowing, balance problems, chronic fatigue and others, The truth is you can get off the drugs and help yourself by trying natural methods, i live symptoms free.
The countries around the Mediterranean will ultimately suffer harder of heat waves, dry and fires. It is clear from a draft of a report from the UN Advisory Science panel IPCC, which AFP has taken note of. The report, which is published next year, describes the area as a hotspot for climate change. It predicts that the temperatures there will rise faster than average in the world in the coming decades. Don't you long for the cruise ships!? NOX emissions from cruise ships in Europe also heavily impact some cities, equivalent to about 15% of the nitrogen oxides (NOX) emitted by Europe’s passenger car fleet in a year, the report finds. In Marseille, for example, 57 cruise ships emitted in 2017 almost as much NOX as one-quarter of the city’s 340,000 passenger cars. Along the coasts of countries such as Norway, Denmark, Greece, Croatia and Malta a handful of cruise ships are also responsible for more NOX than the majority of their domestic car fleet. Europe should implement a zero-emission port standard as soon as possible, this could then be extended to other ship types. The report also recommends extending emission control areas (ECAs), currently in place only in the North and Baltic Seas and English Channel, to the rest of the European seas. Furthermore, the report recommends regulating NOX emissions from existing ships, which are currently exempt from NOx standards applying in emission control areas. Faig Abbasov concluded: “There are enough mature technologies to clean up cruise ships. Shore-side electricity can help cut in-port emissions, batteries are a solution for shorter distances and hydrogen technology can power even the biggest cruise ships. The cruise sector are apparently not willing to make the shift voluntarily, so we need governments to step in and mandate zero emission standards.” NOx and 40 degrees hot is a cool brew if you want to die! Air pollution is gases and particles in the air that have a negative impact on humans and the environment. The main air pollution counts nitrogen oxides (NOx, a collection name for nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide), aerosols (small particles), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), sulfur dioxide and ground-level ozone. In combustion terms also exist so-called PM, that is, airborne particles. These particles can have different size and thus different hazard at inhalation. Causes of air pollution include industrial manufacturing, exhaust from vehicles and combustion of coal and wood. Globally, more than 5.5 million people die every year of diseases related to air pollution, which is more than those who die of malnutrition, obesity, and drugs. Air pollution is the fourth largest risk factor for dying and by far the largest environmental factor for disease. Thus, your tourist industry is much more dangerous than small grand too much grog!
Take a train up to Scandinavia. We have 20-23 degrees hot and very fresh air. We can not constantly benefit your tourist industry. Latin European must also promote our leisure travel!
