This summer be sure to soak up some much needed Vitamin D and still keep your cool with these five tips:
Utilize air-conditioned hangouts – You don’t want to be stuck inside all day, so take a walk to a local hangout where there is a comfy place to sit and grab a bite to eat. You’ll get some exercise along the way and be able to cool off in the air conditioning, enjoy a cool snack, and relax as a reward.
Protect your skin – It is important to protect your skin from the dangers of a bright hot sun. Although it can be fun to lounge in the sun all day, monitoring your time under the sun is important in protecting your skin. It is also vital to know your own body and its limits. Use the most appropriate sunscreen and the one that will best keep you protected.
Early workouts – If exercising outside, try to get your workout in early in the morning before the sun rises or late at night when the sun has set for the day to beat the heat.
Refuel – Sweating in hot temperatures makes the body lose not just water, but also minerals and salts. Make sure you are refueling your body with what it needs to enjoy the summer days.
Snack on frozen treats – Nothing makes you feel better on a hot summer day than some frozen yogurt or sherbet. It’s cool, refreshing, and satisfying, and will help you relax, take your time, and enjoy every minute.
