Here are 10 tips for you to enjoy the summer to the fullest without neglecting your well-being and that of your loved ones:
1. Constant hydration: As temperatures rise, it is essential that you stay well hydrated. Consume water regularly throughout the day, even if you do not feel thirsty. Too many sugary drinks can increase dehydration, so consume them in moderation.
2. Sun protection: Excessive exposure to the sun damages the skin and can increase the risk of skin cancer. Use sunscreen with an adequate protection factor and always apply it before sun exposure, during your exposure apply it every 2 hours. Do not forget areas such as ears, neck and feet.
3. Wear appropriate clothing: Dress lightly to help keep you cool, wear a cap or wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection to protect your eyes and face.
4. Avoid peak heat hours: Try to avoid direct exposure to the sun during the hottest hours of the day, generally from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you must go out during these hours, try to seek shade and rest in cool places.
5. Maintain a healthy diet: Take advantage of fresh seasonal products to maintain a balanced diet. Foods rich in water, such as watermelon and cucumbers, are especially refreshing.
6. Moderate exercise: Maintain an exercise routine, if you like outdoor activities try to do them in the mornings or at the end of the day to avoid extreme heat. Listen to your body and do not overexert yourself in hot conditions.
7. Insect protection: Use repellent to avoid bites and wear skin-covering clothing when in insect-prone areas.
8. Don't neglect your rest: Summer often involves more social activities and travel, so make sure you get enough rest to maintain your energy and mental health.
9. Pay attention to the water: If you plan to swim in pools, lakes or beaches, do so in clean, safe areas. Pay attention to warnings about dangerous currents and follow water safety rules.
10. Listen to your body: The key to enjoying the summer in a healthy way is to listen to your body. If you feel fatigue, weakness, dizziness or any unusual symptoms, seek shade, hydrate and rest.
Don't neglect yourself this vacation, with caution and attention to your wellbeing you can make the most of this summer without putting your health at risk.
