How to Beat the Summer Heat?

March is the start of summer months in the Philippines and during this time people go to beaches, malls, and out of town to lessen the effect of summer heat.



There are other ways to keep your cool as you take advantage of the clear days that come with the summer months. Here are some ways to keep yourself refreshed:




1. Hydrate. Drink plenty of water! Always drink water even if your not thirsty to replenish the fluid you lose when you sweat.

2. Feast on "cooling" foods. Vegetables and fruits are sweeter during summer months plus they contain almost 90% water.

3. Spritz around. Always carry a small spritzer filled with cold water wherever you go. Sprinkle a little mist on your wrist, face or neck when it gets too hot. It will constantly cool you off!

4. Wear loose-fitting clothes. Loose fitting clothes allows air to circulate, keeping you fresher and definitely less sweaty.

5. Slather on Sunscreen. Use a sunblock with an SPF factor of 15 or higher and prevent the harmful UVA and UVB rays from damaging your skin and causing dryness and premature wrinkles.

6. Wear sunglasses. Ultraviolet rays can also be harmful to the eyes and affect vision, so the eyes need equal protection.

Have an enjoyable summer with your family, friends and love ones...
