Some Tips to Stay Cool This Summer

PETERBOROUGH, Ontario - June 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Stay Cool This Summer!

It’s that time of year again-hot inside and out. These are some simple tips to keep cool when the weather is hot..hot..hot…
•   Close your windows during the day or pull the blinds. You can prevent              around 45% of the heat from entering your home
•   Spritz yourself! Keep a spray bottle in the fridge and when you are feeling hot, just give yourself a refreshing spritz of cold water
•   If you have an air conditioner- run it on low power. Use a fan to move the heat away from you-but make sure you turn it off if you are leaving the house.
•   Chose light, billowy clothing to allow air movement over your skin and help with evaporation
•   Eat spicy foods-like chili peppers. Eating spicy foods makes us perspire which evaporates and makes us feel cooler
•   Drink lots of water (not caffeinated drinks, sugary juices, or alcohol. This is the time to have smoothies and watermelon-yum!
•   Eat light meals. You won’t feel as sluggish. Lots of fruit and vegetables are refreshing (not to mention good for you!)
Enjoy your summer to the fullest!
