July 23rd is Hot Enough For Ya Day. It just so happens that today in or neck of the woods it is hot enough for us. Many times on hot days like this you may see someone and jokingly ask "Is it hot enough for ya??"
Find ways to stay cool:
- air conditioning
- stay out of direct sunlight
- when dressing keep in mind to wear light clothing that is light in color as well
- cool showers and baths should be taken as well
- fans are good but may not be enough to keep you cool
Stay Hydrated:
- Drink more water than usual, this will help keep you hydrated without adding calories, or other nutrients not good for your body
- Dont wait til you are thirsty to drink. While being thirsty is a sign of needing something to drink it is not always the first sign when thirsty
- alcohol, energy drinks or high sugar drinks are not the best choices to enjoy in the heat
- Do your friends a favor and remind them to drink plenty of water as well
Stay Informed:
- stay aware of extreme weather alerts
- learn the symptoms of heat illness

ReplyDeleteToo funny. I am in southern middle Tennessee and it has been miserable. I will add to your list above; my favorite is iced tea with extra ice.
