Stay hydrated
Sightseeing, sweating and drinking sugary drinks tend to dehydrate our body. It is important to keep water handy at all times. Consuming fruits and vegetables with high water content is suggested.
Check weather conditions for your location
Before your departure, make sure to review the weather forecast for your destination. Doing so will assist you in packing accordingly and organizing your planned activities.
Eat cooling foods
During summers when the body is prone to dehydration, staying away from oily street food is the best choice. Try to munch on foods like cucumber and watermelon throughout the day.
Choose the right clothes & SPF
Cotton and linen clothes are best for the summer season. Avoid dark coloured clothes as they absorb more heat. During the summer season, increased sun exposure and presence of insects are common. Ensure to pack sunscreen with a high SPF and insect repellent to safeguard your skin.
Timing is important
Spend the day time, from 11 am to 4 pm indoors as it is the hottest time of the day. You can use this time to explore places like museums, shopping centres or enjoy a nice movie.
Try local cuisine
Exploring local cuisine is a wonderful summer activity. Seek out nearby restaurants and street vendors to experience the flavors and dishes unique to the area.
Additionally, it’s important to have emergency medications handy for any minor health concerns that may arise.
Wishing you a delightful summer vacation!
