Summer Safety Month
With it being Summer Safety Month, I wanted to share some safety tips.
Sunscreen is an important thing to apply in the summer. This helps prevent skin cancer, sunburn, and aging. Here are some tips on how to apply sunscreen and how often:
- Apply sunscreen liberally to all uncovered skin (avoid putting it inside your mouth and eyes).
- Reapply at least every two hours.
- If you don’t have much hair, apply sunscreen to the top of your head or wear a hat.
Another important safety tip is to make sure you are staying hydrated in the summer. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, light-headedness, or throbbing headaches. Here are some tips:
- Be aware of weather conditions
- Consider the level of activity
- Drink plenty of liquids
- Avoid caffeinated beverages
- Eat foods with high water content
- Dress wisely
Strawberry Limeade
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 lb sliced strawberries
- 20-30 mint leaves
- 2 cups cold water
Instructions:
To make the simple syrup, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, and cook over medium high heat for 5-10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear.
In a large mason jar or a pitcher, combine the lime juice, simple syrup, strawberries, mint, and water. Let sit in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Serve and enjoy!
