**Solent Mobility Centre Blog **# **5 Summer Wellness Tips For Seniors in Hampshire** Summer is in full swing, bringing record-breaking temperatures in Hampshire. With more heatwaves on the way, it's important to stay cool and take care of yourself.30 June 2026 2 min read Summer is in full swing, bringing record-breaking temperatures in Hampshire. With more heatwaves on the way, it's important to stay cool and take care of yourself. Soaring temperatures can be dangerous for anyone, but as we age, those risks increase, and so does the importance of self-care in summer. Here are our five best tips for summer wellness for seniors in Hampshire: ## **1) Protect Your Skin** UV rays can be incredibly harsh in the summer, especially during heatwaves. Whenever you're outside, even in the shade, you should always apply sun cream to exposed skin. High-SPF suncreams are great at protecting your skin and should be reapplied every few hours for the best protection. You can also keep yourself safe from UV rays by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or protective sunglasses. ## **2) Eat Well & Drink Plenty** Hot weather can mess with our appetites, but it's still as important as ever to eat a balanced diet. To avoid heating your home from cooking, try making cold meals to eat that are packed with vegetables and whole grains. Hydration is key for beating the hot weather, so make sure to drink plenty throughout the day, too. Keep a chilled bottle of water nearby and take sips regularly to prevent dehydration and to keep cool. ## **3) Stay Cool Indoors** If you're staying indoors in a heatwave, it can still feel too hot even if you're out of the sun's rays. During the day, keep windows and curtains closed to prevent more heat from getting inside. Once the temperatures start to drop in the evening, open windows and doors to let a breeze in and cool down your home. You can also keep yourself cool by putting a bowl of ice in front of a fan to blow cool air around. ## **4) Exercise With Caution** It's good to keep physically active, especially when the weather is so nice outside, but do be cautious, too. Choose shady paths or areas and listen to your body if exercise starts to feel too much. It's best to exercise during cooler hours of the day, and ideally, somewhere that's well-ventilated. Make sure to stay hydrated before, during, and after any physical activity. ## **5) Review Your Medication** Strong heat can have an impact on how your body handles certain medications. If you're unsure or noticing new side effects from the heat, consult with your doctor or a pharmacist who can advise you on what to do. If you follow these tips, you'll beat the heat and will be able to enjoy summer to the fullest. Stay cool and stay hydrated; your body will thank you.**Keep reading**## **More from our blog**[)**21 July 2026****5 MUST HAVE Accessories For Your Wheelchair 2026**
