How Farmers Can Protect Their Kidneys During Hot Weather
Farm work under intense heat can lead to dehydration, which may put strain on the kidneys over time. Farmers should take regular water breaks, rest in shaded areas when possible, and avoid working through severe heat exhaustion. Simple habits such as carrying safe drinking water, wearing protective clothing, and recognising warning signs like dizziness, weakness, very dark urine, or reduced urination can help prevent serious health problems. Anyone with persistent symptoms should seek medical care promptly. Protecting our health is as important as protecting our crops. A healthy farmer is better able to sustain the farm and provide for the family.
