Splashing into Summer 🌞
Now that summer has hit our Aussie shores we’re spending more time outdoors. Whether we’re hanging out at barbecues or hiking on the beach it’s important to keep cool to avoid heat related illnesses.
Here are a few tips to keep you safe this summer:
- Keep hydrated, carry a water bottle with you at all times.
- Keep meals light and healthy, such as salads, cold pastas or fruit salads.
- Keep your body and head cool through protective clothing and cold drinks
- Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 regularly when out in the sun
- Keep your house cool by closing windows and curtains and turning on fans or air conditioning if you have this.
If you have any concerns about the heat do pop in to see your local doctor for more advice.
I wish you all a pleasant and safe summer season.
Take care and stay healthy 😘
