Have a #SMart and #SMashing Summer!

It’s summer season! Summer may seem full of fun and adventure but remember that there are still some risks brought by the hot weather.

Remember these essential tips to ensure a happy and safe summer while at work.

Tip # 1

Drink water! Lots of ‘em!

In the scorching summer heat, staying hydrated is crucial for comfort and health. While water is the ultimate thirst quencher, sports drinks with electrolytes can also be valuable allies. These beverages help replenish fluids and essential minerals lost through sweat, fighting off dehydration. Whether you opt for refreshing water or the added boost of electrolyte-rich sports drinks, keeping hydrated is essential for thriving in the heat.

Tip # 2

Avoid the high heat and heat stress

Stay under the shade or grab a cold drink. You can also bring a handy dandy fan! Also, make sure that your work area is cool and well-ventilated. Lastly, bring an umbrella and let’s keep them UV rays at bay! We don’t want signs of aging at this point so it’s better to stay fresh and shady. Staying cool with an umbrella can stop us from getting or leaving work sweaty!

Tip # 3

Wear sunscreen!

Calling everyone out on this one! Is this included in your morning routine? Make sure your skin is protected with sunscreen as it is the best and easiest way to keep your skin healthy. Let’s not make the harsh sun rays ruin our skin and summer glow!
We highly suggest getting a sunscreen that has SPF 50 PA+++!

Tip # 4

Walk! Increase steps!

Beat the summer heat and boost your energy by taking more steps each day! When it’s hot outside, we often feel like lounging around, but short walks can do wonders for both your body and mind. Walking helps undo the effects of sitting too long and gives you a refreshing break from being indoors. Just make sure to drink enough water before, during, and after your walks to stay hydrated. So, put on your shoes, head outside, and enjoy the revitalizing perks of a brisk stroll this summer!

Tip # 5

Keep your personal and work area clean

The hot weather can make food spoil fast! So, remember to store it in a cool and dry place. Likewise, take note of the pantry reminders in your office floor!
In addition, keeping things nice and tidy in you work area is also key in staying fresh and clean during the summer heat!
