3 Tips For Staying Healthy This Summer

While it’s more common for people to get sick and unhealthy in the winter months, you still can become ill and be under the weather if you make unhealthy decisions in the summer as well. Especially in the time of coronavirus, it’s important that you’re doing everything you can to keep yourself healthy so you don’t get sick and to avoid getting injured so you can stay out of the hospital or doctor’s office.

To help you in doing both of these things, here are three tips for staying healthy this summer.

Be Safe When Outside

People tend to spend more time outside in the summer than in the other months of the year. But while you might be planning to just enjoy yourself in the sun, there are certain threats to your health that you need to be aware of.

According to the CDC, some of the biggest outdoor threats to your health and safety include the sun and summer bugs or other pests. So to best protect yourself from these things, you need to take care of yourself and be safe when you’re outside. Taking measures like covering up as much of your skin as possible, staying in the shade, and wearing sunscreen can help to protect your body from the harmful effects of the sun. Additionally, applying bug spray and avoiding the times or places where bugs are most present will help to keep you from getting bug bites or other health issues that can be associated with exposure to pests.

Make Smart Food Choices

Although summer is the perfect time to indulge in some cool and sweet treats, if you want to give yourself the best chance of staying healthy and being able to fight off any threats to your body, you need to make sure that you’re making smart food choices that will support your health rather than put it at risk.

To help you with this, Dr. Nancy C. Lee, a contributor to WomensHealth.gov, recommends that you consider making some changes or adjustments to your diet in the summer. These things should include eating more fruits and vegetables, being careful when at summer BBQs or parties, and trying to cook at home more often than eating out.

Keep Yourself Cool

Along the same vein as the sun being a threat to your health in the summer, you also need to be careful about how much heat you allow yourself and others to be exposed to. If you get too hot, you could experience heat exhaustion or heat stroke, both of which can have serious implications.

To avoid running into these issues, Stacy Simon, a contributor to Cancer.org, recommends that you stay cool by only being outside in the morning or late evening, drinking plenty of water during the day, and wearing loose-fitting clothing that doesn’t trap too much heat.

To keep yourself from getting sick or injured this summer, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you stay safe and healthy.
