Come Compete, But Beat the Heat
Keep your cool and do not melt
1. Stay Hydrated - The first line of defense in keeping your body cool is to drink plenty of water. Being thirsty is actually an early warning sign of dehydration, so pump up those fluids beforehand, and keep sipping water even if you don’t feel thirsty yet.
2. Make DIY Frozen Treats - One of my favorite childhood memories was making ice cream and popsicles with Mom, including the agony of waiting for them to harden! Popsicle molds have come a long way since then, and there are a host of delicious flavor combinations you can try out all summer long. For adults, spike these popsicles with watermelon vodka............what heat?
3. Make or Find Some Shade - If you have to be out in the heat of the day, finding some shade, or bringing shade with you will help keep you cool. A hat is an easy way to provide full sun protection. Choose a wide brim evaporative hat with mesh cooling zones and a moisture wicking band.
4.Produce Your Own Wind - Pick up a batch of battery-operated misting fans. A lifesaver. The evaporation caused by the combination of mist and breeze has an instant cooling effect.
5. Wear Cool Clothes -Breathable clothing that will help you stay cool. Don’t forget about your feet. Almost one-fourth of all of your body’s sweat glands are in your feet. Wear ventilated shoes or sandals that allow your feet to breathe without trapping sweat and heat.
6. Try a Cooling Towel - Cooling towels give your body the sense of reducing body temperature through evaporation. After soaking with cool water and wringing out, snap it and then drape it around your neck.
Being Cool and Keeping Cool
