PHYSICAL WELLNESS &
TAKING CARE OF MY BODY

Sun Safety is important to keep our skin protected and prevent
damage to our bodies.
• Always wear sunscreen and lip balm of SPF 15 or higher. Apply
sunscreen 10 minutes before going outside and reapply every
one to two hours.
• Cover up! Use cool, protective clothing, hats and sunglasses to
block harmful UV rays.
• Avoid the midday sun. Find shade or stay inside between 10AM
and 4PM when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
• Stay hydrated! Be sure to drink plenty of water if you’re in the
sun to avoid dehydration.

Sleep is a very important part of wellness. It is when our body rests
and repairs itself, and when our brain processes everything we learn
during the day. Adults should sleep 7-9 hours a night.
• Try to go to bed at the same time every night.
• Take an hour before you go to bed for quiet time by avoiding
exercise, TV/ computer/ phone time and eating large meals.
