How to resist the mask in summer?

Recommendations to stay safe, cool, and comfortable by protecting yourself from COVID-19 with the mask during the hot season.

Although at the beginning of the pandemic the use of a mask seemed strange to us due to its novelty, today we use it as just another piece of clothing and we feel protected against COVID-19 thanks to it. But now it is possible that during the summer it is a bit uncomfortable to wear it when we leave the house, so we must take certain precautions to resist the heat with the mask.




The mandatory use of the mask and high temperatures is not the most desirable combination at this time of year, but it is the most responsible and necessary to protect our health and that of those around us. Even more so at this time when COVID-19 infections are rising again and there are reports of new variants of the virus.

The arrival of summer increases the level of discomfort, as the mask traps sweat and heat. Luckily, there are ways to not suffer so much from the heat when wearing it. Due to the mandatory use of masks in public spaces, we offer you some tips:

Remember that any product that you apply under the mask must be quickly absorbed. Otherwise, it will clog your pores and thus you will more easily retain sweat, promoting the appearance of bacteria and acne. In addition, it is necessary to wash reusable masks and cleanse the skin often. If you still have acne, irritated skin, or an allergy, see a dermatologist quickly.

Hence the importance that, in case of any medical need, you have (Comprehensive) Health Insurance. After a grace period of 30 days, with this insurance, you will have access to medical consultations, emergency care, hospitalization, maternity care, home doctors, among other coverage. In the same way, you will have a wide network of clinics to assist you. And, in cases of coronavirus, you will be assured of medication to relieve symptoms and hospitalization if necessary.

In this summer season, protect yourself from the sun and COVID-19 at the same time. Avoid removing your mask and continue applying prevention measures, such as washing your hands with soap, using alcohol gel, and maintaining a physical distance. Enjoy the summer responsibly.

Gestational obesity and vitamin B12 deficiency

Low vitamin B12 (cobalamin) levels can cause weight gain in pregnant women.  This is the conclusion of a study conducted by scientists from the University of Warwick Medical School in Great Britain. British specialists compared fat cells obtained from laboratory cultures with samples taken from pregnant women. The analysis showed that the increased production of these cells occurs when there is not enough vitamin B12 in the pregnant woman's body.  This information suggests that low vitamin B12 levels may predispose pregnant women to obesity. - The results of our study show that low levels of vitamin B12 impair the metabolism of fat cells, which can lead to increased fat accumulation, deterioration of its processing and post-inflammatory damage.  All these factors predispose to weight gain - comments the researcher Jinous Samavat, emphasizing the important role of vitamin B12 supplementation, the so-called  red vitamin during pregnancy.

When you have never skipped a meal, it is with this preliminary that you must begin:  identify and listen to your food sensations, and not  eat without hunger  .  “  Our western society eats a lot, and it is formatted on the principle of having 3 meals a day (which is still recent and does not exist everywhere in the world). But, in reality, no scientific data proves that this food organization has a real interest in weight and health. This translates into knowing how to adapt your meals (and their quantity) to your appetite, but also skipping those for which you are not actually hungry.  This allows you to realize that you can feel good without eating every 4 hours.  Because contrary to what is sometimes bel...
