Secrets to avoid sunstroke when traveling and playing outdoors in the summer

THÁI TRANG (T/H) |

Summer is the peak tourist season, but hot weather also increases the risk of heatstroke and dehydration when participating in outdoor activities.

Limit going out in hot sunny weather

The period from 11 am to 3 pm is usually when the outdoor temperature is high, strong UV rays and the risk of sunstroke increases.

If you plan to have fun, sightseeing or outdoor activities, tourists should prioritize choosing early morning or late afternoon to reduce the impact of the heat.

Drink enough water

The body can lose a lot of water and electrolytes when operating in the sun for a long time.

Visitors should drink water regularly, not wait until they are thirsty to drink. You can supplement mineral water or electrolyte-boosting drinks when needed.

Wear appropriate clothing

Spacious, breathable and light-colored clothes often help the body dissipate heat better in hot weather.

In addition, wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses or sunscreen also contribute to limiting the direct impact of sunlight on the body.

Find a place to rest when activities are prolonged

For long-term outdoor activities such as sightseeing, picnics or playing at the park, visitors should spend time resting in shady areas or cool spaces.

Short breaks between activities help the body reduce the impact of high temperatures.

Supplement with water-rich foods

Fruits such as watermelons, oranges, grapefruits, or cantaloupe are rich in water and can help the body replenish water on hot sunny days.

Supplementing with green vegetables and refreshing dishes also helps the body feel more comfortable in hot weather.

Early recognition of signs of sunstroke

Symptoms such as dizziness, headache, fatigue or nausea may be signs that the body is affected by heat.

When these symptoms appear, tourists should quickly move to a cool place, rest and replenish water to avoid making health conditions worse.
