Six Health tips for Summer

1. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight:

Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or even higher) to protect your skin from harmful

ultraviolet radiations. It prevents sunburn, tans and enhances the health of the

skin. You can also use umbrella, sun glass and/or hat to beat against heat.

2. Hydrate and hydrate throughout the day:

Staying hydrated is essential during summer as it ensures that your body

keeps functioning normally. If you don’t like drinking normal water, you can add

salts and lemon juice or you can even go with sipping on herbal tea or you can

have some fresh fruit juice but avoid soda and juices high in sugar.

3. Wear light-colored, light-weight and loose fitting clothes:

They are best for promoting the absorption of sweat. They make you feel

cool and comfortable because more air passes over your body.

4. Eat regularly, but eat light:

Eat regularly because your body requires the nutrients to fight heat and

keep you healthy. But avoid the foods that are high in protein because they

increase metabolic heat.

5. Shower with cold water:

It will instantly make you feel refreshed. A cool shower after excess

sweating helps keep the skin unblocked and decreases acne breakouts.

6. Do meditation and exercise:

You should do a lot of inhaling and exhaling, and do light exercises. This

will help you enhance your energy levels. You can also begin your spiritual

awakening and give a lot of time to meditation.
