Taking care of your health during the heat is essential to enjoying the warmer days safely and pleasurably.
Here are some tips to make sure you take care of yourself during the hot temperatures:
Hydration: drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially on hot days.
Increase your fluid intake, including water and natural juices.
Sun protection: use sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days.
Apply it generously all over your body and don’t forget to reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
Suitable clothing: wear light, breathable fabrics in light colors to help keep you cool.
Wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun’s rays.
Healthy eating: opt for fresh foods such as fruit, vegetables, salads and light foods during hot days.
Avoid heavy, fried and processed foods, as they can cause discomfort during the heat.
Watch your diet: avoid perishable foods that can spoil more easily in the heat.
Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid eating food of dubious origin.
Moderate exercise: practice physical activities appropriate to the season, avoiding peak heat hours.
Opt for outdoor exercise in the early morning or late afternoon, when temperatures are milder.
Get enough rest and sleep: the heat can cause tiredness and fatigue, so get enough rest and sleep to keep your body revitalized.
Ideally, you should sleep between 7 and 8 hours.
These are just some general tips, so it’s always important to consult a health professional for specific advice.
Enjoy the hot days safely and take care of yourself!
