5 Ways To Beat The Summer Heat

This information comes from Google AI Overview, if you have any health questions or concerns consult your physician.

 

  • Stay hydrated

    Drink water before you're thirsty, and drink more if you're sweating. You can also try infusing your water with fruit, using water flavor drops, or drinking coconut water or electrolyte drinks. If you're active, you can also drink water before, during, and after exercise. 

  • Eat lightly

    Avoid heavy meals and foods with lots of fat, and instead eat fresh foods with high water content like fruits and vegetables. 

  • Stay cool indoors

    Keep your home cool by using air conditioning, closing curtains and blinds, and using box fans. You can also try insulating your house and using your oven less. If you don't have air conditioning, you can visit a public space like a library or shopping mall. 

  • Stay cool outdoors

    Find shade, and wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. You can also try taking cool showers or baths, or applying cold compresses to your forehead, neck, or wrists. 

  • Be sun smart
    Wear a large brimmed hat and use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher.
