3 Ways to beat the heat!

It is HOT outside lately although where I live it is cooling down (the average here is 82 degrees fahrenheit/ 27 degrees celsius) if has reached over 100 (37 c) in the couple of weeks so why not some tips on how to survive the rest of august!


1.  Drink water!!!: Dehydration and heat stroke can be BIG problems if not treated soon after it takes effect. Water helps the body cool down and stay hydrated! If you don't like to drink water useing water flavoring (some of them are not all that good for you so I like to look at this article for reference.) or you can put some fruit in your water for a little bit of sweetness! You can even add a little fruit juice! (but really water flavoring is not good for you so make it your last resort)


2. Use sunblock: Sunscreen is important when you are going to be outside so make sure to reapply every two hours or after swimming. You also need to wear sunglasses and big hats to protect yourself from UVA and UVB rays. You should always use sunscreen 30 SPF or higher and avoid spray on sunscreen due to inhalation risk. (use this guide to help you in your sunscreen journey)

3.  Have some fun!: Make popsicles, go to the pool or barbeque! Have fun!
