Picture this: It’s a scorching summer day, and you’re out enjoying the sun—maybe at a barbecue or lounging by the pool. But as the hours tick by, you start feeling a little woozy, and your skin’s turning a shade of red that’s not quite tan. Been there? Summer is all about fun, but it can sneak up on you with health risks like dehydration and sunburn. That’s where we, your telehealth providers, step in. With these telehealth summer safety tips, you can keep the good vibes going all season long.
The Importance of Staying Hydrated

Let’s talk hydration—it’s a big deal, especially when the sun’s beating down. Water isn’t just a refreshing sip; it’s what keeps your body humming. It regulates your temperature, wards off dehydration, and keeps you feeling your best. In the summer heat, you’re sweating more, so you’ve got to replenish what you lose. A good starting point? Aim for at least eight glasses a day. If you’re chasing kids around or hiking with friends, you might need more. And here’s a pro tip: munch on water-rich snacks like watermelon, cucumber, or oranges—they’re tasty and hydrating. Feeling thirsty? That’s your body waving a little flag, saying, “Hey, I need water now!” So, keep a bottle handy and sip throughout the day.
Protect Your Skin with Sunscreen

Now, let’s shift gears to sunscreen. If hydration is your body’s internal shield, sunscreen is your external armor against those UV rays. It’s not just about avoiding a painful sunburn (though that’s a perk)—sunscreen helps protect you from skin cancer and keeps those fine lines at bay. Not every sunscreen is the same, though. Grab a broad-spectrum one with at least SPF 30, slather it on generously, and reapply every two hours—more if you’re swimming or sweating. Don’t skip the sneaky spots like your ears, neck, or the tops of your feet. Trust me, I’ve seen too many telehealth calls about sunburned earlobes, and let me tell you, it’s not fun at all.
