While you’re spending time outside with family and friends this weekend, it’s important to stay cool and take care of yourself. 🫶

Here are a few ways you can stay cool and safe in the sun ☀️

🥤Freeze your water before putting it in a cooler or bag to go so it melts and stays chilled while you’re enjoying time outside

🧴 Reapply sunscreen every few hours for the best sun protection

🥒 Bring fruits and veggies with high water content to snack on! This includes cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, and peaches.

🌅 Time your days for less time in the peak heat hours! Spending time outside in the early morning or in the evening after dinner helps reduce time spent in the heat
