It’s hot outside and we have reached the point of the year I don’t even want to turn on the stovetop, let alone the oven, for fear of heating up the house too much. There are many ways to beat the heat such as swimming, staying indoors except in the early morning hours or late evening hours, use a fan, cool and light fabrics, etc. Stay hydrated as well. Whether you drink your water or eat it, it’s important to increase your water intake to stay cool. The foods you eat play a bigger part in keeping you cool than you may think though.
