Tips for the Heat

• Drink lots of water. Make sure you’re hydrated and that your electrolytes (lost from sweating) are replaced.

• Sadly, you may also need to avoid caffeinated drinks and alcoholic beverages as these two types of drinks act as diuretics that increase dehydration.

• Stay downstairs. The farthest down you go, the cooler it is.

• Eliminate extra sources of heat. These could be light bulbs or appliances. Eat fresh foods that wouldn’t require using the oven.

• Speaking of food, bigger meals that are protein-heavy require more work from your body to digest, which could warm the body.

• Turn on your York air conditioner. Don’t have one? Visit one of our stores today!
