Sunshine Survival Tips<br />

There’s a reason why Florida is known as the “Sunshine<br />

State”. This subtropical state has year-round sunshine making<br />

it gorgeous for a vacation, but it can catch <strong>visitor</strong>s unawares<br />

if they are not taking some precautions. Dehydration, heat<br />

exhaustion, sunburn, and sunstroke can spoil your vacation,<br />

yet they are very easy to avoid by following our Florida<br />

Sunshine Survival Tips.<br />

Come Aboard<br />

The <strong>Do</strong>lphin Explorer<br />

“The Finest Eco-Tour in Southwest Florida”<br />

“I took my two grandchildren, ages 7 and 14 and<br />

all three of us loved it. We saw 23 different<br />

dolphins and 3 baby dolphins. We shelled<br />

on this beautiful beach and had pictures<br />

taken by the crew. I would highly<br />

recommend this trip to people of<br />

all ages. I can’t wait to go again.”<br />

Wear Cool Loose Clothing The best<br />

way to stay cool is by wearing clothing that is loose fitting<br />

and preferably made of cotton or natural fabrics. Loose<br />

dresses, shirts, tops, and shorts are preferable to jeans and<br />

tight-fitting clothing if you are to stay looking and feeling<br />

cool and comfortable. Swap shoes and sneakers for open<br />

sandals. If you still feel hot and sweaty, use a handheld<br />

fan. When the body sweats it loses fluid, salt, and minerals.<br />

Water depletion can cause a dry mouth, headaches, and fainting while symptoms of salt depletion include muscle<br />

spasms, cramps, and vomiting.<br />

<strong>Do</strong>n’t Overdo the Sunshine Heat stroke technically occurs when the body’s core temperature<br />

reaches 105°F or above. It can cause nausea, confusion, disorientation, seizures, fainting, cramps, and shallow breathing<br />

as the body struggles to cool itself. Anyone showing these symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency. Remove<br />

any unnecessary clothing, cool the body by bathing with a cool wash cloth or put them in a cool air-conditioned room and<br />

seek medical advice. Give the sufferer plenty of cool drinks of water and monitor their symptoms carefully.<br />

Lather up with SPF Sunscreen Frequently Most Florida <strong>visitor</strong>s diligently apply<br />

sunscreen first thing in the morning when they hit the beach. However, sunscreen does not last all day. The Sun Protection<br />

Factor (SPF) indicates how much longer you can stay in the sun so SPF 15 means that a person who burns in 5 minutes is<br />

theoretically protected for 75 minutes. However, it is recommended that you reapply sun lotion every two hours and after<br />

you have been in the pool or sea. Sunscreen does not just prevent your skin from burning; it also screens out harmful ultra<br />

violet rays that can cause skin cancer. UVA rays cause wrinkles and premature aging, while UVB rays burn the skin, so choose<br />

a good quality sunscreen that keeps them both at bay.<br />

Drink Plenty of Water Keeping your fluid intake high to counter the heat is important, however, drinking<br />

beer or alcoholic drinks can actually leave you more dehydrated than ever. If you drink a glass of beer your body will actually<br />

expel three times that amount leaving you dangerously dehydrated. The more alcohol you drink, the more dehydrated you<br />

will become as alcohol affects the body’s fluid levels. Eating salty snacks is another way to cause the body to lose fluid from<br />

its cells, and sugar-high sodas and sports drinks create a similar problem. You need to drink pure water throughout the day<br />

to counter dehydration, and avoid sweet or alcoholic drinks until the cooler evening. A tip for measuring whether you are<br />

drinking enough is to check you are visiting the bathroom as frequently as usual.<br />

We want you to enjoy every minute of your vacation in southwest Florida, so make sure you pay attention to these sunshine<br />

survival tips and stay cool and healthy!<br />
