Summer is coming up very fast and I know everybody is dreading this heat. Here are some tips that have helped me stay cool for the summer and will hopefully help you too.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated
- Be cautious of the sun and wear plenty of sunscreen
- Wear nice light-weight clothes
- Whenever at home keep your house cool maybe turning on the fans or the AC
- Take cold showers
- Carry ice packs if you’re going to be walking in the heat
- When at home close blinds or cover up windows to block out the sun
- When outside or walking in the heat I recommend using a hat, sunglasses, or an umbrella
