The effect of the hot
sun is beginning to tell on a lot of Nigerians; preventing many from getting
outdoors and inhibiting activities. Here are some ways to beat the harsh effect
of the rays and stay healthy and hydrated.
Wear brimmed hats
Wide brimmed hats,
baseball caps and other kinds of hats, help keep the sun at bay. Find one that
can also pep up your outfit and make you look glamorous.
Wear sleeveless summer dress
Summer cotton dresses
are great for this season. They are not only feminine; they are colourful and
comfortable to wear. You can also find a sleeveless dress in special occasion
wears. If you are not comfortable with a sleeveless dress, decide which sleeve
length will be good for you.
Use sunscreen
Apply sunscreen with a
sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher to all exposed areas of your body.
Also, use lip balm to protect your lips. This is particularly important for
those up north.
Drink plenty of water
Dehydration is
inevitable with the way the sun is
blazing. Drink plenty of water and always
keep a bottle nearby to quench that thirst.
It is advised to drink
at least eight cups of water a day. But with this sun, you need to help
yourself to more cups. Drink water before, during and after physical activity.
