5 Ways to Beat Summer Heat

As the end of July is approaching, the Summer days are getting warmer. Although, getting fresh air outside is important, so is staying cool and hydrated. Here are a few suggestions to beat the heat this Summer!
Drink Lots and Lots of Water
On average, we need about 3 liters of water a day. It helps to get an insulated bottle to refill throughout the day. Stainless steel bottles keep water nice and cool while even in the hot sun!

Eat Cool Foods
Some Favorites:
Fruits like berries and watermelon
Homemade popsicles
Smoothies

Engage in Water Activities
Hit the beach or even purchase a mini pool to fill up with the hose in the backyard. This can be not only fun for you but the kids too!

Exercise Early in the Morning or Later at Night
Since most gyms are closed at the moment, it can be hard to find a time to exercise without passing out from the high temperatures. Changing up your routine might be necessary this time of year!

Avoid Using the Oven
Start mixing up fresh cold produce ingredients for dinner time like a salad. Using the oven can heat up your home quickly and cause AC bills to be increased.
