Summer's scorching heat can be brutal. Here are 5 ways to stay cool and protect yourself from the scorching sun:
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol, dehydrate you faster.
Opt for loose, breathable clothing in light colours. Fabrics like cotton allow sweat to evaporate, keeping you cooler.
Limit outdoor activities during peak sun hours (10 am - 4 pm). Plan errands and exercise for cooler mornings or evenings.
Sunscreen is a must! Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
Take a cool shower or bath, use a fan, or wear a wet bandana. Enjoy refreshing summer fruits with high water content.
