Ways To Beat The Heat

Virginians know that the summer sun can be very unforgiving. The summer of 2015 looks like it’s going to be another scorcher. Below are some tips on how to beat the heat.

  • A ceiling fan can be used as an addition to your existing cooling system. It will help circulate cool air from your air conditioner.
  • Wear light colored, loose clothing.
  • Clothes that are made out of cotton will keep you cooler than synthetic clothing.
  • Avoid drinks that cause dehydration.
  • Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water throughout the day to combat dehydration.
  • Steer clear of spicy foods. Eat cold fruit instead.
  • Try to exercise in the morning or the evening when it is cooler outside.
  • Take cold baths or showers.
  • Use a portable fan to stay cool.
