In
Nashville recently it has been unbelievably hot and the air has been as thick
as molasses. Don’t get me wrong, I love the summer months, but sometimes the
heat can get a little too much to the point where it not only makes you uncomfortably
hot but extremely tired.
Speaking
for experience I don’t care to be uncomfortably hot or tired during the day,
but I wouldn’t want to miss out on the chance to engage in some fun summer
activities or pass up on a chance to wear some bright summer clothes. In an
attempt to stay cool below are some tips on how to beat the heat!
1.
Drink
More Water
2.
Close
your curtains// Closing your curtains will help keep your house cool and give
your air conditioning a break
3.
Dress
accordingly// Avoid wearing heavier fabrics on hot day. Opt for lighter fabrics
such as linen and loser fitting close, like a fit and flare dress or a billowy
top.
4.
Forget
close toe shoes// when you can wear sandals, or better yet, no shoes, This
allows for the sweat on your feet to evaporate faster and cool down the rest of
your body.
5.
Eat
light// I love hamburgers and pasta as much as the next person, but these foods
also have the potential to make you feel sluggish when it is hot outside.
Instead reach for a salad or fruit and veggies.
6.
Take
a mental winter vacation// reading about colder climates can take your mind off
the heat
7.
Cool
down before bed// the hotter tempters can make a bit of a challenge to go to
sleep at night. Before you go to bed take a cool shower and make sure you have
light weight sheets and bedding on your bed
8.
Cool
your car down// If you have the opportunity cool your car down a few minutes
before you leave the parking lot/drive way
9.
Working
out in the hot weather// workout for shorter amounts of time at points in the
day when the sun is not as strong or switch to water sports
