Summer heat is upon us, and it’s reaching record highs this year. Phizz has got you covered with everything you need to know about surviving the heat and staying safe. Here are some essential tips for the summer heat: 1. Prioritise hydration Drink plenty of water and fluids throughout the day. Electrolytes and vitamin drinks, such as Phizz’s Daily 3-in-1 are a great way to keep you hydrated. Phizz hydrates you 3x faster than water alone, contains 7 key electrolytes that contribute to normal nerve and muscle function and help to maximise your physical performance. They are also a great way to absorb fluids and sustain energy levels. 2. Avoid peak sun hours Avoid spending too much time outside in the sun at the hottest time of the day, and wear lightweight and breathable clothing. 3. Wear sunscreen Apply suncream of at least SPF 30 frequently and often. This is essential to protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation and long-term damage. 4. Be aware of the symptoms of summer heat exhaustion Heat exhaustion occurs when you spend a lot of time in the heat, causing you to feel tired and unwell. Symptoms include headaches, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, and heavy sweating. If you experience these symptoms, find a cool place to rest and drink plenty of fluids. 5. Eat fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are often high in water, so they help you to intake fluids. Top choices include strawberries, watermelon, cucumbers and celery. Following these simple steps can go a long way in helping you stay safe, hydrated and healthier this summer, and don’t forget to pack Phizz, your perfect hydration companion for any adventure.
