There is no better place to cool off the summer heat than the beach. Yet, while you are enjoying the sea breeze and fantastic finger food at an alfresco beach bar in Singapore, one must not be complacent about heat-related illnesses.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are usual during the summer. So while you enjoy basking in the sun and relaxing at a beach bar in Singapore, you must still watch out for these health conditions.
Here's how to avoid heat exhaustion while enjoying the beach:
1.Drink plenty of water
Before hitting the beach and leaving your hotel or Sentosa beach bar, make sure to drink plenty of water. It is advisable to bring a water bottle with you while exploring the beach. Drinking water prevents dehydration.
2.Wear loose-fitting and lightweight clothes
Since you are on a beach anyway, don't be shy to flaunt your body. Wear loose-fitting and lightweight clothes appropriate for a beach setting. Avoid covering yourself with thick clothes, especially during the afternoons. You can also enjoy the summer atmosphere of the bar at Sentosa if you wear your bikinis and swimsuit, light maxi dresses, and others.
3.Limit sun exposure
If you are planning to sunbathe, make sure to do it in the mornings and afternoon. Avoid going under the sun without any protection during noon between 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. You can spend your noon in the shade or inside a Siloso beach bar.
4.Avoid strenuous activities at noon
Avoid strenuous beach activities at noon, like beach volleyball and frisbees. Physical activities increase body temperature and the risk of dehydration. Heat exhaustion while swimming in the sea or pool is also possible.
5.Be aware of the symptoms
You can prevent heat exhaustion from escalating if you know the early signs. The symptoms include headache, nausea, muscle cramps, dizziness, fatigue, and heavy sweating.
You can enjoy your time on the beach while chilling at an alfresco bar in Singapore, safe from heat exhaustion, by applying these prevention tips.
