It’s summer! Well at least for the northern hemisphere, but
eventually it will be summer where ever you are. Here are some important safety tips that you should
keep in mind for this sunny season.
Drink Water:
I am guilty for not drinking enough water, but hey, I’m trying to change.
Dehydration is more likely to happen if you are out in the sun and not filling
yourself with fluids. If you don’t like the taste of water, try using Crystal
Light or those Mio things (though I’ve never tried them but I hear they are
tasty).
Eat an Apple:
If you are having an uneventful summer, sometimes you start to eat random snack
foods in your house without realizing it. If you find yourself in that
situation, grab an apple! Not only is an apple very filling, but it is low-cal
and 84% water, which will keep you hydrated.
Wear
Sunscreen/Sunblock: It is SO important to protect your skin from
harmful UV rays. I suggest you get some type of lotion that suits your needs in
order to avoid sunburn. If you would like to find out if you are a Sunblock or
Sunscreen person, read my previous blog post! http://mitsege.blogspot.com/2012/06/thrifty-thursday.html
Wear Sunglasses:
Like you should protect your skin, you should protect your eyes from harmful UV
rays. As well as protection, it is a key safety feature. Sun creates
glare that can blur vision when driving. Also, because a less forceful light is
entering your eyes, sunglasses improve vision and reduce eyestrain/headache.Those are my summer tips. Stay safe everyone!
