Dehydration sets in faster than most people expect in hot weather, especially in a crowded stadium environment. Drink water consistently throughout the day, not just when you feel thirsty.

💧Drink water before you leave for the match, not just once you arrive

💧Sports drinks can help replace electrolytes lost through sweating during extended outdoor exposure

💧Check whether you can bring a sealed water bottle into the venue before match day

Stay safe out there!

Tips for picking the best watermelon:
🍉 Avoid melons with bruises, cuts, or dents. The melon should be firm.
🍉 Pick it up. The melon should feel heavy for its size.
🍉 Turn it over, look for a creamy yellow spot. This indicates that it sat in one place ripening in the sun.

Care doesn’t happen alone. Men’s health is shaped by relationships — partners, families, caregivers, friends & communities at every stage of life.

When men are supported via connection, education, & shared advocacy, they seek care, stay
engaged & live healthier, longer lives.

This Men’s Health Month, we’re recognizing care as a partnership— because stronger connections lead to stronger health outcomes.

In a CARDIAC ARREST the heart suddenly stops beating. This is usually caused by an electrical problem that makes the heart beat irregularly. When the heart stops pumping, it can't send blood to the brain, lungs and other vital organs.

Someone having a cardiac arrest may become unresponsive. They may top breathing or only gasp for air.

If someone has cardiac arrest, doing CPR right away can double or triple their chances of survival.
