| Summer health tips for kids 1 |
It is
just the start of summer vacation and you find your kids extremely excited with
lots of plans. Kids run around and have fun all through the day even if it is
hot and humid. You cannot stop them from enjoying outdoors and indoors, but you
can take care of their health and safety, for sure.
Parents
want their kids to make the most of their vacation and have lots of fun also.
But it is obvious for them to stay concerned about the health of their
children. Following tips will help you ensure a fun, safe and healthy summer
vacation for your children.
Provide a water bottle
If you
ask your child to drink water every now and then, he is not going to listen.
However, you need to keep him hydrated because the heat is in excess. So, the
best way is to provide him a water bottle and keep an eye so that he drinks
from it at regular intervals. Keep filling it when it is empty.
Offer different kinds of fluids
Lime
juice and fruit drinks provide refreshment and help replenish loss of fluid in
the body instantly. Kids like these drinks and would readily have. Buttermilk
and coconut water are also best substitutes.
Pay attention to clothing
Make
sure your kids wear light coloured cotton clothes so that the heat is absorbed
in a better way and allows sweat to evaporate as well.

Protect kids from harmful
sun rays
Even
if your child is playing indoors you need to pay attention to protecting him
from the heat. However if your child is going out, make sure you apply
sunscreen on the exposed parts of his body. Make him wear hats and sunglasses
to protect them from direct sun rays.
Apply insect repellents
Summer
is the time when lots of insects along with mosquitoes are present outdoors
especially in the evenings. Make sure you apply insect repellent on your
child’s body when he goes out to play.
Avoid outdoor activities during
day
Sunrays
from 11 AM to 4 PM is at the maximum. Try to avoid your child’s going out
during that period. The rays are intense and highly damaging during this time.

Pay attention to nutrition
Prepare
meals and breakfast at home so that your kids get healthy meals. Make sure you
use seasonal fruits and vegetables because they have the natural cooling
capacity. Offer kids small and frequent meals and snacks that are nutritious.
Include salad in your child’s diet.
Let kids have fruits and
vegetables
It is
not easy to make your child eat green and colourful vegetables as well as
fruits. Try to make and serve them in interesting ways and let food time be fun
time especially if your child is very young.
Avoid junk food
Children
love fast food, but you know that they contain lots of added flavours which are
harmful for your child. I would not say that you should completely say “NO” to
fast food, but make it a monthly or bi-monthly affair.
Maintain good personal hygiene

Summer
means sweating and providing opportunity for dirt and germs to settle. Make
sure your child takes proper bath daily and wears clean clothes. Improper
personal cleanliness leads to lot of health and skin problems. A daily routine
will help maintain the hygiene level.
Follow
the above mentioned tips and improve overall wellness of your child this
summer. Make your child take proper rest during summer because that saves from
over exhaustion in children. You should also pay attention to your health in summer so that you have a wonderful vacation with entire family.
