Hot season: follow these recommendations to take care of your health

Hot season: follow these recommendations to take care of your health
High temperatures can cause discomfort to everyone, so
We leave you some recommendations to prevent heat stroke from affecting your health.

1. Hydrate yourself

The first and most important recommendation is to keep your body constantly hydrated. High temperatures make you sweat and lose water from your body. If you don't drink enough fluids and are exposed to very hot climates, you can easily become dehydrated.

2. Protect your skin

Try to dress protecting your head with caps, hats or similar. Another basic point that you should add to your life routines is the use of a powerful sunscreen on your face and neck, which will protect your skin from the damage caused by the sun's rays. Eye protection is also important, with sunglasses you will be avoiding direct sun exposure on your face.

3. Avoid sun exposure

The hours of greatest radiation occur between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., so it is recommended to carry out outdoor activities before or after that time to avoid heat stroke.

4. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages

Alcohol dehydrates you, which can cause you to lack the water and fluids necessary for normal body function. On the other hand, alcohol makes you sweat more and the "combination of sweating more in the heat and going to the bathroom more means you lose more fluid than you take in" and you can become dehydrated quickly.

5. Do not do intense physical activities under the sun

The body is not able to maintain a low temperature. Normally we regulate our body temperature through sweating, we expel water that cools us when it evaporates. Extreme heat, humidity, and exercise in the sun may make this measure insufficient. Headache, rapid pulse, dizziness, nausea, weakness then appear.

6. Wear loose, light-colored, long-sleeved clothing

Light colors reflect more of the radiation they receive than dark colors, which absorb more radiation than the former. By absorbing more radiation, they heat up faster, reach a higher temperature, and transfer more heat into the body.

Remember that prevention is better than cure
