As the temperatures rise, remember to take extra precautions to stay safe and healthy in the sun. Here’s how you can beat the heat and enjoy the summer months safely: 

• Wear sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen. Remember to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. 
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially in hot weather. 
• Seek shade: Limit your time in direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Find shade under trees, umbrellas, or canopies to help stay cool. 
• Wear protective clothing: Opt for lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that covers your skin, and don’t forget a hat or sunglasses to shield your face and eyes from the sun. 
• Take breaks: If you’re spending active time outdoors, remember to take regular breaks in a cool, shaded area to rest and recharge.
