Dalli said that “The social partners were, are, and will continue to be updated on the investment being made in our country’s distribution system in meetings attended by technicians. This is because responsibility demands that we continue to invest in better infrastructure for today and the future, as this government is doing.”

During his Press Conference, Bernard Grech also mentioned compensation, and in the Government Press Release, it was explained that the compensation system that the MCESD helped design, will be re-implemented this summer.

Best Foods to Eat to Stay Hydrated this Summer

Jul 22 2024

As temperatures rise during the summer, maintaining proper hydration is crucial due to increased perspiration, which leads to the loss of water, salts, and minerals from our bodies. Severe dehydration can occur if these losses are not replenished, posing serious health risks. Therefore, it is essential to drink enough water and consume foods high in water content.

Given that 50-70% of our body mass is composed of water, all body systems—cells, blood, muscles, tissues, and the brain—depend on adequate hydration to function optimally. To stay hydrated, include water-rich foods such as watermelon, cucumber, squash, strawberries, and citrus fruits in your diet. These foods not only refresh but also help replenish the body’s water and mineral levels.

By incorporating these hydrating foods into your meals, you can beat the heat and ensure your body remains well-hydrated and healthy throughout the scorching summer months.
