:60 PSAs from UnitedHealthcare on helping kids stay safe in the summer heat (English and Spanish)

from North American Network

-- :60 (English) -- “As sweltering temperatures continue, make sure that your kids stay healthy and protected. ‘United-Healthcare’ has these tips, to help keep them safe in the heat: Remember, hydration is key; children should drink four ounces of water every 15 minutes during outdoor play. You can help them increase hydration with popsicles or smoothies—and by avoiding sugary drinks. In addition, offer your children salt- and potassium-rich snacks—like pretzels or fruits—every 30 to 45 minutes. If a child appears irritable, has eyes that look sunken, urinates less, or cries without producing tears, they may be dehydrated. For sun-safety, apply sunscreen that’s ‘S-P-F’ 30 or higher—and reapply it regularly. Dress your kids in light, protective clothing—including a hat and sunglasses. And, help them seek shade under trees or an umbrella.

Usted puede ayudarles a aumentar la hidratación con paletas heladas o batidos—y evitando las bebidas azucaradas. Además, ofrézcales meriendas ricas en sal y potasio—como ‘pretzels’ o frutas—cada 30 a 45 minutos. Para estar seguro bajo el sol, aplique bloqueador solar que sea ‘S-P-F’ 30 o superior—y vuelva a aplicarlo con regularidad. Vista a sus hijos con ropa ligera y protectora—que incluya sombrero y gafas de sol. Y, ayúdelos a encontrar sombra bajo árboles o una sombrilla.
