Cool tips to beat the summer

Here are few tips to cool out in hot summer:

1. Keep hydrated: Lemonade and iced tea aren’t summer staples for nothing. A refreshing beverage with a scoop of ice is just the thing to lower your temperature. If you’re going to be working in the yard on any of the dozen ‘summer projects’ that pile up over the colder months, make sure you have something cool to drink at hand. Keeping cool and hydrated will help to prevent heat stroke. Keeping cool and hydrated will help to prevent heat stroke.

2. Be shady: It’s significantly cooler in shaded areas. So opt for a spot under a tree or on an enclosed porch when you’re doing some mid-day lounging. If you can’t retreat to shade, be sure to wear a hat..

3. String up a hammock. It won’t keep you cool in and of itself, but it’s a great way to relax in the shade with that icy beverage we discussed earlier. Besides, when your friends and neighbors spy you lounging in the yard, you’ll certainly look cool.
