HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES IN THESE HOT WEATHER?
Dear readers, the weather these days is super hot!
Yesterday, there was some quick shower in my areas, which provided some respites from the uncomfortable heat!
Health is Wealth or in fact is the most important aspect of our lives! Let us take a look at the ten tips below on taking good care of ourselves amidst such hot weather!
1. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid sugary or caffeinated beverages as they can dehydrate you.
2. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing made of breathable fabrics like cotton. Avoid dark colors that absorb heat.
3. Seek shade or stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
4. Use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays.
5. Use a hat or umbrella to shield yourself from the sun.
6. Take cool showers or baths to lower your body temperature.
7. Avoid strenuous physical activity during the hottest parts of the day. If you must exercise, do it in the early morning or evening when temperatures are lower.
8. Keep your home cool by using fans, air conditioning, or closing blinds to block out the sun.
9. Check on elderly or vulnerable individuals who may be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses.
10. If you start to feel dizzy, nauseous, or develop a headache, move to a cooler space and drink water immediately. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
