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.
Sometimes afternoon naps can be helpful, as long as they are short. Studies show that an afternoon nap should only be 30-60 minutes in duration. Any longer than this, then we are at risk of falling into a deep sleep which can give us difficulties falling asleep later at night. For those that suffer insomnia, afternoon naps are not useful as they can make getting to sleep harder.
Stay tuned for a video coming soon over on drnora.com for getting the perfect night’s sleep.
