The scorching sun and hot air the past few days have made outdoor events even more unattractive.

Hary Tirto Djatmiko, Head of Public Relations of BMKG said, May-June is the first month to enter the dry trend. Some areas in Indonesia have experienced symptoms without rain for 30 days. Starting from the areas of Nusa Tenggara, Bali, Java, and Sumatra. These symptoms will gradually shift to other areas.

"Especially the area south of the equator," said Hary.

BMKG predicts the peak of the dry season will fall in August and September. During that time, it seems that we have to endure a lot of heat. Because the air temperature can reach 32-35 ° C and only starts to finish in October.

"There is no unusual phenomenon, it is still relatively normal during the 30-year era," said Hary again.

However, this hot weather can be more torturous for those who want to fast in mid-May to June. Excess heat can cause fatal health problems, especially in individuals with heart and respiratory problems. Then how to work around it?

The human body temperature must remain between 36.1-37.8°C. If it is more than 37.8, the body has procedures to cool down by sweating. However, there are groups of individuals who are not able to sweat optimally.

For example, parents and individuals taking certain medications that block sweating. Less sweat means the body temperature will rise more quickly. If that's the case, they can make them tired due to high temperatures (heat exhaustion). If left unchecked, this condition will develop into heat stroke and can destroy the brain, other vital organs, and even lead to death.

Parents are one of the groups most vulnerable to exposure to hot temperatures, especially for those who are over 75 years old. Next up are infants and young children, individuals with chronic conditions, particularly heart or respiratory problems. Then, individuals with mobility problems, such as people with Parkinson's disease or stroke. Also, people with serious mental health problems, certain drugs, alcohol, and physically active individuals.

Tips for Facing Hot Weather

There are several signs from the body that we need to be aware of when exposed to high temperatures. When the loss of body fluids continues, the body will experience fatigue caused by lack of water or lack of salt. Symptoms of lack of water include excessive thirst, weakness, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. Meanwhile, the signs of a lack of salt are nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, and dizziness.

In general, symptoms of heat exhaustion include confusion, dark urine color, headaches to fainting, tiredness, dizziness, muscle or stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, pale skin, sweating a lot, fast heartbeat. There are several tips that can be applied to avoid the health effects of hot temperatures.

First, close all windows or vents in your home when it's hotter outside. Do the opposite when the air becomes cooler so that air circulation continues. You can use bright colored curtains to cover the windows, because dark colored curtains can make the room hotter.

Avoid outdoor activities between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. because these hours are the hottest time of the day. If you must go out, wear loose clothing, a head covering, and a hat. Take a bath with masbodoh water and drink water/fruit juice regularly.

You also need to avoid excessive consumption of sugary drinks such as coke, alcohol, tea and coffee. Because, sugar will be converted into energy, and the process will increase body temperature. Consumption of water as much as 17-20 ounces is recommended for individuals with high events such as athletes with a distance of consumption 2-3 hours before activity. Plus, consume 7-10 ounces every 20 minutes and 8 ounces within half an hour of the event.

In the first six months of life, babies should get breast milk (ASI) privately. Because formula milk as expensive as any will not be able to replace breast milk.


“Age 0-6 months give only breast milk, exclusive breastfeeding. Don't give water either," ordered Dr. Attila Dewanti, SpA, in the Milna 1st Bite Campaign in Senayan City, Jl Asia Afrika, South Jakarta.

"The most expensive formula (formula milk) also cannot replace breast milk," added Dr. Attila.

Dr. Attila has also heard the recommendation for banana protection when the baby is 3 months old. If you hear the suggestion, please ignore it. Because a 3 month old baby doesn't need a banana. "Alright, just breastfeed. Breast milk has been the best," he added.

Regarding the protection of breast milk, Minister of Health Nila F Moeloek some time later said that there was an increase in the prevalence of breastfeeding mothers, which according to the results of the Lancet Breastfeeding Series study had reached 65 percent. This number increased compared to the 2013 Basic Health Research data with 38 percent.

Exclusive breastfeeding not only minimizes time because you don't need to be busy pouring and stirring milk, but also helps create quality young people with good mentality.

The World Health Organization (WHO) also revealed that breast milk is useful for making the baby's body easier to fight viruses, avoiding allergies and illness, and being able to increase children's IQ. Breast milk has offered almost all the nutrients needed for babies to grow and develop well. With the many benefits of being proficient in breastfeeding, don't be discouraged by offering breast milk for your little one, Mom and Dad!

In many cultures of our society, sex education is still considered taboo and is given the impression of being pornographic and inappropriate, especially for children and adolescents. Therefore, instead of introducing proper sexual education, the current sexual education program, in fact, gives more anxiety to young adults who are well informed about sexuality.


"They seem to be afraid that sexuality is something dangerous," said Inez Kristanti, Angsamerah clinical psychologist, in a campaign event on reproductive health titled #AkuDewasa, Tuesday, (4.9) in the Thamrin area, Central Jakarta.

The adult population in Indonesia is quite large. At least 28 percent of Indonesia's population are old women with fertile era & pregnancy risk. Based on this data, Sensitive Vivo together with 20 social communities created a Campaign on reproductive health at an age, as well as commemorating World Sexual Health Day which is celebrated every September 4.

“The more open the digital information network, if left unchecked, it is more likely that they will get the wrong information. As a result, their perception of sexual and reproductive health can lead to risky sex attitudes," said CEO Sensitive VIVO, Yoevan Wiraatmaja.

Therefore, Inez suggested that sex education for adults be given in a comprehensive way, including being given alternatives that they can choose for themselves. "As adults, we should give an understanding of how to help adults to make the right decisions about responsible reproduction. Psychologically, when someone is given a choice, he will tend to choose wisely," said Inez, who is also a psychology lecturer at Unika Atma Jaya Jakarta.

Regarding the sex education that you want to give, don't forget to observe the materials that must be age-appropriate. In addition, the contribution of accurate information related to abstinence and contraception also needs to be given to children. "Abstinence is a way to 100% avoid sexually transmitted diseases and unscheduled pregnancies," said Inez.

Materials that must be age-appropriate, such as teaching and telling children aged 6 years and over, for example intimate areas that are not held by anyone, except the mother and herself. The introduction of such things must be taught from an early age. Parents have to deal with their shame when talking about these sensitive things to their children, hopefully the children can be more responsible in dealing with their adulthood.
