Tuesday Tips and Tricks - Beat the heat


It's July... and it's HOT.
This month I'll be sharing ways (some practical, some fun) to combat the heat.

1. Drink more water

2. Close the windows ans use insulated drapes to keep the sun out during the day and then open them at night when the sun goes down.

3. Cool the car off quickly... Roll down the window on one side; Open the door on the opposite side and fan it (open/close) about 5 times. This circulates the air by drawing the hot air out and replacing it with cooler air from outside.  (yes this even works when it is 101 outside... because it's probably 110 inside the car!)

4. Know your body's cooling points. By placing ice (or anything cold) on your wrist, neck, behind your knees, in the bend of your elbow, etc., you'll cool down more quickly and effectively.

5. If you have a ceiling fan, run it counter clockwise for optimum cooling.
