In this scorching heat, the hot weather causes our bodies to lose sweat and water, which can lead to fatigue and susceptibility to illness. So, let's take care of our health with these simple methods:
Drink plenty of clean water, at least 8 glasses a day, to replenish lost fluids. Avoid drinking very cold water, carbonated drinks, or beverages high in sugar.
Avoid leftovers and raw foods. Choose foods rich in fruits and vegetables to provide essential vitamins and minerals.
Opt for lightweight, loose-fitting clothes in light colors that allow air circulation, helping sweat evaporate and reducing heat.
Stay in well-ventilated rooms and avoid overly cold air conditioning, as it may make you more susceptible to illness.
Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher at least 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2 hours or after sweating.
Wear hats, sunglasses, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants to protect yourself from UV radiation when going outdoors.
Avoid high-sugar foods, as they can raise body temperature, cause dehydration, and make you feel weak.
Alcohol can raise body temperature, affect the nervous system, and may cause shock. It's best to avoid alcoholic beverages during hot weather.
Exercise is good, but avoid strenuous workouts. Choose appropriate exercise in the morning or evening to avoid sunlight.
With just these tips, you can take care of your health and stay fresh and worry-free throughout the hot season. Remember to also take care of those around you, especially children and the elderly.
