Summer has arrived and brought lovely warm temperatures.
It is important to stay cool and hydrated to avoid becoming overheated.
Some tips:
avoid the hottest part of your day and enjoy the early morning and evening hours for outdoor fun
wear natural fiber, light coloured clothing - cotton, linens that breathe and are light weight
wear a wide brimmed straw hat that covers your head and neck area
apply sun-screen when out in the sun or swimming - there are some great natural based products available (https://www.sustainablejungle.com/sustainable-beauty/natural-sunscreen or https://organicbeautylover.com/skin/best-natural-organic-sunscreens/)
Begin your day with water and lemon and continue to drink water hourly to stay hydrated
Enjoy light meals with lots of fruit and vegetables
Avoid sugar filled drinks or alcohol as it makes you hotter and dehydrates you quicker. If you must have a drink then, rehydrate with water between each drink
Avoid air conditioning and instead enjoy an overhead fan or a swamp cooler
Enjoy the long summer days as they are fleeting and provide us with wonderful memories.
As Van Morrison say,s, " Smell the sea, and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly."
Many Blessings.
