Summer brings sunshine, vacations, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. However, warmer temperatures can also create ideal conditions for germs to thrive. Here's a guide to staying healthy throughout the season:
Sunscreen is Your Best Friend
Always choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Apply it generously 15 minutes before heading outdoors and reapply every two hours—or immediately after swimming or sweating.
Dress Smart:
Opt for lightweight, sun-protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. It's not just stylish; it’s your first line of defense against harmful UV rays.
Hydration is Key:
Keep a water bottle handy and sip throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps your body regulate temperature and perform at its best, whether you're at work or playing outdoors.
Cool Down:
No air conditioning? No problem! Stay cool with frequent cool showers, fans, and breathable fabrics. Remember, overheating can impair your focus and productivity.
Safety First:
Never leave children or pets in a parked car. Temperatures can skyrocket within minutes, posing serious health risks.
Plan Your Day Wisely:
If possible, schedule strenuous activities during cooler parts of the day, like early mornings or late evenings. Always check the weather forecast before planning outdoor activities.
Travel Safety
Planning a trip? Exciting! Ensure your adventure is as smooth and safe as possible.
Pre - Travel
Book an appointment with your doctor at least a month before you jet off. They’ll give you the lowdown on vaccinations, medications, and tips tailored to your destination.
