Especially in Arizona the summer months get very, very hot. But how should everybody deal with the summer heat? Many don’t know what is best for their bodies and mind when it’s very hot outside, so Fox Rent A Car has prepared your To-Do-list for the hot summer days! Get through the season safely and make sure you follow our heat advisory!
Eat and drink properly
To drink a lot of water during hot summer days is the oldest and most common advice you will get – simply because it is true! The heat and sweating make you dehydrate very easily so you must drink at least one gallon of water on a hot day, if not even more! Eat a lot of fruits and avoid fatty foods. You also need to cut down your caffeine and alcohol consumption. A cup of cool tea is better than a morning coffee when temperatures are up high.
Stay cool
If it is hot outside, try to stay inside as much as you can. Most homes have fans or A/C’s, so use them to make you feel more comfortable. Keep the blinds down so that the sun would not get into your home, and only open the windows when it starts cooling down outside. If you need to be outside, get into the shade and spend as little time as possible in the sunny spots.
Plan your day according to the temperatures
If it is 100 degrees outside there is no need to wash and dry clothes around noon time or start cooking or baking on the hottest time of the day. Try to do everything that heats up your house or requires a lot of physical energy for the cooler times of the day. Take your lunch break and relax as much as you can, and once the sun is down you have an easier time to cool down your place again quickly.
Outdoor activities with the kids
Kids cannot be inside all the time when the summer time has arrived! While you should keep them inside during the hot noon and early afternoon time, they should play around in the garden or swimming pools during the morning and later afternoon hours. Make sure your kids cool down regularly either by going to swim or spending enough time in the shade. Also give them as much to drink as possible, even if they tell you that they are not thirsty. Being captured inside due to a heat-related illness is much worse than following the basic guidelines of coping with summer heat – especially for kids!
Your skin and body
During summer you always have to watch your body and skin. Use sunscreen to keep your skin protected from the dangerous sun, and keep your body at ease. Hot days are not good for exercising or hard physical work, since those activities can even be extremely risky for your health! If your body asks for a slow day, then listen to this call. Especially if you have heart or respiratory problems you need to slow down and avoid physical activities as much as you can.
The Fox Rent A Car-team wishes you an enjoyable and lovely summer time. Heat waves can be frustrating and exhausting but if you watch the principles of dealing with summer heat you will overcome those days too, no matter where you are.
