How to Stay Hydrated and Healthy During UAE Summers
Share
🧊 Introduction
UAE summers are known for their intense heat, high humidity, and soaring temperatures often crossing 45°C. Whether you’re outdoors for work, errands, or leisure, staying hydrated and maintaining your health becomes essential. At ZahraMeds, we care about your well-being, so we’ve put together practical tips to help you stay safe, refreshed, and healthy throughout the hottest months of the year.
💧 1. Drink More Water Than You Think You Need
Dehydration can sneak up on you fast in the UAE heat. Aim for at least 2.5 to 3 liters of water per day, and increase this if you’re spending time outdoors or exercising. Carry a reusable water bottle and take small sips throughout the day.
🥤 2. Avoid Sugary and Caffeinated Drinks
Soft drinks, energy drinks, and excess coffee can increase dehydration. Instead, go for:
- Coconut water
- Herbal teas (iced chamomile or mint)
- Infused water with cucumber, lemon, or mint
🍉 3. Eat Water-Rich Foods
Include foods with high water content in your meals:
- Watermelon
- Cucumber
- Tomatoes
- Oranges
- Leafy greens
🧴 4. Protect Your Skin and Body
High UV exposure can lead to sunburn, fatigue, and skin damage. Use:
- Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen
- Lightweight, breathable clothing
- Hats and sunglasses
🕑 5. Avoid Peak Heat Hours
Try to schedule your outdoor activities during early mornings or after sunset. The hours between 12 PM and 4 PM are typically the hottest and most dangerous.
💊 6. Support Your Body with the Right Supplements
Excess sweating can lead to mineral loss. Consider taking:
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Multivitamins
- Hydration tablets
