Beat the Heat
Ten Tips to Beat the Heat (from WomenFitness.net)
Schedule physically strenuous activities for cooler times in the day.
Dress in light, loose, cotton clothing. Natural fabrics like cotton are much cooler than most synthetics. Protective hats and 100% cotton socks will keep you cool from head to toe.
Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or above. Remember, sunburns can happen even on cloudy days. Don't forget to apply sunscreen to lips, ears, your back and neck.
When working outside, take periodic rest breaks in a cool area. Relax, slow down, and pace yourself.
Drink lots of water and non-alcoholic drinks!! Don't wait until you feel thirsty - STAY HYDRATED. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which are diuretics and can increase water loss.
Never leave children or pets inside a car, even if the windows are open.
Be extra cautious in the sun/heat if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other medical conditions. Be careful if you are taking medication as some may cause you to sunburn more easily (i.e. some antibiotics, ibuprofen, and aspirin).
Keep cool with fans, air conditioning, and cool baths or showers. You can make your own air conditioner by placing a bowl of ice in front of a fan and letting it blow on you. Window fans work best when blowing hot air out so put your fan on the sunny side of the apartment and let it expel the hot air while pulling cool air from open windows on the shady side. Keep shades or curtains pulled on the sunny side of the house.
Get plenty of sleep and eat light, nutritious, and non-fatty meals. Eat foods high in water content, like fruits and vegetables. Don't use your oven - use the microwave or a toaster to keep the heat down.
Be aware that when active in a hot, dry climate - for example when playing tennis - both salt and water are lost in sweat. Under such conditions restriction of dietary salt by healthy individuals may be unwise.
