No matter where you’re going to be next weekend, it will be HOT. And while us Floridians will feel little to no difference; the rest of the country will experiencing what we deal with on a daily basis. Which got me thinking – y’all probably have NO clue how to deal with heat. Just as most Floridians fail to know how to handle a cold front (besides putting on Uggs). Below are my helpful hints and tips to beat the heat.
Drink lots of water
You should be drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding alcohol. Water, tea and coffee are great options here. Maybe trade that mojito for a smoothie! Limit fruit juice or smoothies to a combined total of 150ml a day, and choose diet or sugar-free soft drinks. I won’t fault you for enjoying a glass of wine with dinner.
Close all windows and doors
A cold breeze is non-existent when you’re fighting humidity. Close those windows and doors and turn your fan on. AC is your best friend.
Wear cotton or linen
Avoid poly-blend clothing and stick to cotton and linen fabrics. Breathable and dries quick. Would also avoid wearing black or dark colors such as navy blue. Stick to white and light colors or you’re just asking the heat to make you warm.
