So how do we shield ourselves from the sun? Here are some practical tips.
Sun Protection Methods
1. Choose the right time for outdoor activities. Summer days are long, with the hottest period from 11 AM to 3 PM—also when UV rays are strongest. If possible, avoid going out during these hours. Head out early in the morning or later in the evening when UV intensity is lower.
2. Vacation sun protection. Spring and summer are prime travel seasons. Travelers must prioritize sun protection: bring a sun umbrella, apply sunscreen, wear sunglasses, and seek tree-lined areas during peak sunlight to block UV rays.
3. Wear sun-protective clothing. Modern technology has made sun-protective clothing highly effective. These garments are thin and breathable yet block UV rays. We recommend incorporating sun-protective clothing into your wardrobe.
Eat sun-protective foods
1. Tomatoes. Tomatoes possess antioxidant properties. Eating more tomatoes during summer can help reduce skin oxidation.
2. Eggs.Eggs are rich in protein, which enhances skin elasticity. They also contain selenium, an antioxidant. So, enjoy more eggs during summer. 3. Watermelon. Watermelon not only quenches thirst and cools you down but also contains numerous antioxidants. Make it a summer staple.
