Stay Safe This Summer: Expert Tips from Lotus Urgent Care & Wellness
As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat-related illnesses. At Lotus Urgent Care & Wellness in Miracle Mile, Los Angeles, we want our community to stay healthy, hydrated, and safe all summer long. Whether you're heading to the beach, going on a hike, or just enjoying a sunny day outdoors, here are a few essential summer safety tips to keep in mind:
☀️ 1. Stay Hydrated
Dehydration can sneak up quickly in the heat. Always drink plenty of water—even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid sugary, caffeinated, or alcoholic beverages that can lead to fluid loss.
Feeling fatigued, dizzy, or lightheaded? Our clinic offers IV fluid hydration therapy to help you quickly replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. It’s a fast and effective way to bounce back from dehydration and heat exhaustion.
🧴 2. Protect Your Skin
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every 2 hours, and after swimming or sweating. Wear protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses to minimize sun exposure.
🌡️ 3. Know the Signs of Heat Illness
Watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, including nausea, confusion, muscle cramps, and rapid heart rate. These conditions require immediate attention. If you're concerned, walk into our urgent care—no appointment needed.
🏖️ 4. Avoid Peak Heat Hours
Try to schedule outdoor activities before 10 AM or after 4 PM, when the sun is less intense. If you must be outside, take frequent breaks in the shade or indoors.
👟 5. Be Prepared for Outdoor Activities
Carry water, wear lightweight clothing, and make sure someone knows your plans when hiking or exercising. Children and elderly individuals are especially vulnerable to heat—monitor them closely.
Stay Cool with IV Hydration Therapy
Lotus Urgent Care & Wellness offers IV hydration treatments designed to replenish fluids, restore energy, and support your body's recovery in the summer heat. Whether you’re recovering from too much sun, a summer illness, or just want to stay sharp and energized, IV therapy is a fast and effective solution.
