Tropical Health Tips
Choosing to celebrate a wedding in a warm climate calls for a new set of rules if you are not accustomed to hot, tropical temperatures.
 
HYDRATION
The most important factor to address should be your general health as the climate is very high. Hydration is the key for general well-being, in addition to taking a good rest, to manage fatigue, stay cool and look fresh.
Drink plenty of water; Barbados water is safe to drink served directly from the tap, so confidently indulge and enjoy.
VITALITY
Energise and refresh yourself with spa treatments and therapies. Boost your immune system with a soothing, muscle relaxing massage. Embrace your surroundings, enjoy brisk scenic walks and activities.
DIGESTION
Pay special attention to your nutrition;
you do not want to be bloated. Eat plenty of tropical fruits which are rich in vitamins, enzymes and essential minerals and vitamins, which are abundant on the beautiful island of Barbados. Eat fresh or partake in delicious smoothies blended from mangoes, golden apples, bananas, papaya, fresh lime juice and more, to boost and support your immune system with vitamin C, calcium etc. We have a delicious “Bajan” cherry which is rich in vitamins, containing even more vitamin C than an orange.
CLOTHING
Embrace the tropics and dress light both in fabric weight and colour. Avoid very dark tones which will make you hot and uncomfortable. Linen is an excellent choice in addition to shades of white, creams, pastels and exotic pinks and blues.
SUN PROTECTION
Use sunscreen, a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or more is advisable but don’t allow yourself to become complacent with it, reapply regularly as you sweat or as the day progresses. Wear sunscreen even on an overcast or cloudy day.
Don’t forget your lips, use a suitable balm or gloss with SPF protection. Also pack a suitable insect repellant for any eventualities which unfortunately accompany these fabulous, hot days.
Remember that the hottest time of the day is usually between eleven (11a.m) and three (3p.m). Stay cool, comfortable and enjoy yourself.
