San Diego’s sunny days are full of opportunities to get outside, move your body, and soak in the benefits of fresh air and sunlight. Spending time outdoors can boost your mood, support physical activity, and offer social connection, all of which are so important as we age.

At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that older adults can be more sensitive to heat and sun. With a little planning and some helpful advice from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), you can enjoy sunny days safely and comfortably. Scroll through for practical tips from the NIA that can help you stay cool and protected.
