Simple Tips For Staying Active And Safe For Activities In Hot Weather

JAKARTA - Hot weather sometimes makes us feel uncomfortable and hot. Especially if you have to move outside the home. Well, don't let summer keep you from doing anything. Here are tips to keep you active even though the sun is stinging.

Make sure to drink water often. If you plan to spend time outdoors, be sure to bring your own water bottle so you don't feel thirsty and dehydrated. Signs of dehydration can include headaches, dizziness, and nausea.

Caffeinated drinks tend to dehydrate you in hot weather. Limit yourself to drinking 1-2 caffeinated drinks a day. Drink water or fluids with electrolytes to keep you hydrated.

The wind from the fan can dissipate the heat and make you feel cooler and more comfortable. So always carry a fan in your bag, both a cloth fan and an electric fan, which is more practical.

When it's hot, your eyes also need to be protected with sunglasses. The light of the sun during the day can make your eyesight glare and can make you dizzy for a long time. So, always tuck sunglasses in your bag.
