The heat this summer has been very intense here, along with most othee parte of the world, so we recommend that you do not wait until you are thirsty to drink fluids. We know that drinking water is no longer enough to hydrate you since it is demineralized. We recommend a natural remedy that is easy to prepare: add half a lemon and a pinch of salt to a glass of water, or you can drink coconut water to recover electrolytes after excessive sweating due to the weather.
Avoid stringent exercise and outdoor activities that lead to sun exposure during the hottest hours from 12 to 5 pm. Even taking the furry ones out of the house for a walk at that time is dangerous as they can suffer from heat stroke and burns on their paws.
Protect your skin by applying sunscreen, even on cloudy days, since UV rays are always present. Even if you stay at home, blue light from screens cause the same damage to the skin.
How should I apply sunscreen?
The correct use of sunscreen is to apply it and let it act for at least 10 minutes before sun exposure. The amount of product that you should apply is two fingers for the face and neck, as well as six fingers for the body. The one indicated for our climate would be an SPF 50 since it provides 98% protection to all the environmental agents that living near the sea entails. A healthy habit for the eyes is to wear lenses with UV protection.
The use of light colored clothing that covers most of the body and is preferably made of cotton materials is recommended for high temperatures.
Skin burns lead to premature wrinkles, age spots and can lead to skin cancer. Don’t let this happen to you! And if it already has happened…
