Tips to avoid Sunburn:
1. Apply Sunscreen Regularly
Choose a sunscreen with a high SPF (30 or higher) and reapply it every two hours, as well as after swimming or sweating.
2. Seek Shady Spots
Regularly seek shade, especially during peak sun hours between 11 am and 3 pm.
3. Wear Protective Clothing
Light, long-sleeved clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses can help protect your skin and eyes.
4. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin healthy and avoid dehydration.
Tips to avoid Heatstroke:
1. Acclimatize Slowly
Gradually get used to the heat and avoid strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day.
2. Wear Light and Bright Clothing
Wear light, bright clothing that allows air circulation and reflects heat.
3. Take Regular Breaks
Take frequent breaks in the shade or air-conditioned areas to give your body a rest.
4. Eat Mindfully
Avoid heavy, hot meals and opt for light, water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables.
