☀ 😎 As summer temperatures start to soar, our senior community must stay cool and comfortable. High temperatures can be especially challenging, but there are simple and effective ways to beat the heat: 1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 2. Wear Light Clothing: Opt for loose, light-colored clothing. 3. Create a Cool Space: Close curtains and blinds during the day to block out the sun. 4. Use Fans and AC: Make sure fans and air conditioning units are in good working order. 5. Enjoy Cool Treats: Indulge in ice-cold drinks and snacks like popsicles and chilled fruits. 6. Cool Showers: Take cool showers or baths to lower your body temperature. 7. Ventilation: Use cross-ventilation in your home to maintain airflow. 💡 Did you know you can use your LIFE Spend-down to pay for utilities, ensuring your AC stays on when you need it most? Heck, you can even escape to a cooler climate – maybe a little trip to the North Pole? Or get a small pool for the backyard and pretend you're on a tropical vacation, without the sand in your shoes! Please note, these tips are just for informational purposes. Always consult your doctor for the best ways to stay safe and cool this summer. #SeniorCare #SummerSafety #StayCool #HealthyLiving #LifeSpendDown #SummerTips

Ready for Extreme Heat? 🥵🔅 Temperatures above 90 degrees for at least 2-3 days can be very dangerous to your health and can be fatal.  So what can you do during times of extreme heat? 1️⃣ Stay hydrated! Don't wait until you're thirsty. It may even be beneficial to throw in some electrolytes to your water too! 2️⃣ Wear sunscreen and avoid staying exposed to the sun for too long 3️⃣ Stick to light-weight clothing in reflective colors (anything light, pastel, etc) 4️⃣ Set your AC between 75-80 degrees. If your home doesn't have AC, try to hang out at some public places like libraries and cafes or ask your neighbors/friends/family if you can cool down at their place.  5️⃣ Watch your sun exposure even from indoors - close shades and blinds whenever possible! 6️⃣ Avoid exercise during the hottest parts of the day (usually between 12 and 3) If you work outdoors, you'll want to be extra cautious. Take frequent breaks to cool down. Your employer MUST give you rest, shade, and water. Don't be afraid to speak up and advocate for your health! Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eavnQSr9

We're in the middle of the summer season and, in addition to enjoying moments outside with an ice cream, out and about with friends and family or even at work, we need to take extra care of ourselves during the heatwaves. Here is your reminder to pay particular attention to the following points. 🚨 💚 Heat stress can vary depending on wind, sunlight and your own condition. Don't rely solely on the temperature display and watch out for warning signs such as dizziness, nausea or headaches. 😎 Sun cream is your best friend in summer – and not too little of it! The average adult needs 35 ml to achieve the recommended sun protection. Difficult to measure? Use the tablespoon comparison: two tablespoons per leg and for the torso, one each for the arms and your face. 🚗 The heat generated in closed rooms, for example in cars, should not be underestimated. At an outside temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the temperature in a car reaches 27 degrees after 10 minutes and 46 degrees after an hour. With summer temperatures of 40 degrees, it can even reach over 60 degrees in the car after an hour. So, watch out for your human and animal passengers! 🌞 Offices can also get very hot in summer, especially in city centers and when lots of colleagues come together. So, as always: drink enough, take regular breaks and make sure you cool down. Take care of yourselves and your colleagues – health always comes first.   #MSIGEU #MSIG #wetakecare #staysafe #summertips #health #summer

I posted this the other day, but feel it’s a good reminder, and off course sun cream… 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 Staying cool in very high temperatures is essential for your well-being and comfort. Here are five effective ways to beat the heat: 1.  Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated. In hot weather, you tend to sweat more, leading to increased fluid loss. Drinking water helps regulate your body temperature and prevents dehydration. 2.  Seek shade or air-conditioned spaces: Whenever possible, stay in the shade or indoors in air-conditioned areas during the hottest parts of the day. If you don't have air conditioning, consider spending time in public places like shopping malls, libraries, or community centers that offer air-conditioned environments. 3.  Dress appropriately: Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-coloured clothing. Light colours reflect sunlight rather than absorbing it, helping to keep you cooler. Avoid dark colours as they absorb heat and can make you feel even hotter. 4.  Use fans and cool cloths: Fans can help circulate air and create a cooling breeze indoors. Place a bowl of ice or a frozen water bottle in front of the fan to enhance its cooling effect. Additionally, you can dampen a cloth with cold water and place it on your forehead, neck, or wrists to cool down. 5.  Take cool showers or baths: A refreshing cool shower or bath can provide immediate relief from the heat. It helps lower your body temperature and offers a soothing sensation. If you can't take a full shower, even splashing your face and neck with cold water can be helpful. Bonus tip: Avoid strenuous physical activities during the hottest parts of the day. If you need to exercise, try to do it during the early morning or late evening when the temperature is cooler. Always listen to your body and take breaks in the shade or indoors if you start feeling too hot.
