Health Tips: Summer Safety

Here are some essential tips to keep in mind as you enjoy the rest of summer:

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially when spending time outdoors under the summer sun. Stay cool and keep your body replenished.

Apply sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen with a high SPF. Don’t forget to reapply regularly, especially after swimming or sweating.

Swim smart: Whether you’re at the beach, pool, or lake, always swim in designated areas and keep an eye on children at all times. Safety first!

Grill with care: If you’re planning a barbecue, make sure to follow proper safety precautions. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, never leave the grill unattended, and keep children away from hot surfaces.

Fireworks safety: If you’re celebrating with fireworks, follow local laws and guidelines. Leave the fireworks to the professionals and enjoy public displays rather than risking injuries at home.

Stay cool: Beat the heat by seeking shade, wearing lightweight and breathable clothing, and using cooling towels or misters.
