Summer is the time when people go to the beach for rest and relaxation.

Such rest may not always be beneficial to people.

People warmed by the sun entering the water can have bad consequences. RIA Novosti reports details with reference to Andrey Tyazhelnikov, chief freelance specialist in primary health care at the Moscow Department of Health.

It is noted that people's sudden entry into the water after a walk in the hot sun can lead to health problems, including loss of consciousness, convulsions, and pressure surges.

According to Tyazhelnikov, sudden cooling can cause reflex muscle contraction and respiratory arrest.

He noted that lovers of mattresses and swimming rings may be at risk of sunburn on their shoulders, backs, and faces. They can be obtained without leaving the water.

To prevent unpleasant situations, it is important to follow the rules of conduct on the water and beach.
