Tips to Help You Beat the Heat This Summer

In addition to taking care of your oral health, it is also important to take certain precautions when the temperature rises. Dehydration, heat stroke and other serious health problems can be avoided if you are mindful of the ways to protect yourself from the heat. Here are a few effective ways you can beat the heat this summer:

Drink the Right Fluids

It is important to drink the right types of beverages in order to combat your loss of bodily fluids from sweating. Water, fruit juices and sports drinks containing electrolytes are ideal to consume and can quickly replenish fluid levels in your body. Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages should be avoided due to their diuretic properties.

Service Your Air Conditioner

Air conditioners need proper maintenance in order to function effectively. Air filters should be cleaned on a regular basis. It is also a good idea to check the ducts for any leaks or obstructions. Cracks around your unit may cause more heat from the outdoors to enter your home, so it would be wise to seal any openings with caulking or some other type of sealant strip.

Keep Windows Covered

Drapes, shades and other window coverings can block out sunlight and keep temperatures in your home lower during the daytime. You can try opening your windows during the early morning and evening hours when temperatures are generally milder. Heat levels inside your home may further be reduced if you turn off your lights and only use the electrical devices that are absolutely necessary.

Reduce Physical Activity Levels

Running, bicycling or partaking in other vigorous activities when the weather is hot can put undue stress on your body and cause heat exhaustion. If you feel that you must get out to exercise, swimming or other aquatic activities will be most beneficial for you.

Wear Light, Breathable Clothing

Some of the best clothing options in the heat include short-sleeved T-shirts, tank tops and shorts. It is best to wear items that are made out of breathable materials so that you can stay cooler and not sweat as much.

Head to the Beach

Along with being an ideal spot to enjoy and have some fun in the sun, the beach may also be cooler than communities that are located further inland. Cool breezes from the sea provide natural air conditioning and often prevent the air from becoming hot and stale. Plus, the beach provides a great opportunity to enjoy aquatic activities such as swimming, surfing and paddle boarding.

Staying cool this summer can be easy if you know the right ways to beat the heat. If you visit Beercroft Orthodontics you can learn about other ways to stay cool. You will additionally receive information on how to take care of your teeth and other related knowledge that might prove useful to you.
