Sizzling Saturday *New* July 23, 2011

Happy Saturday and may you find a way to stay cool as it will be another hot one here and in most of the country. Some quick tips:

Stay out of the humid air. With the heat index into the triple digits you may feel it harder to breathe and dehydrate faster than you believe possible.  Take care of you and stay indoors as much as possible.

Drink water, lots of it. Drink two 20oz bottles of water per hour if you must go outside. Your body needs water when it is not this warm and humid and odds are you don't drink enough already.  Have it close by and stay hydrated.

Live with the A/C. If you have it use it.  If you don't find a place like the mall or the public library that does and enjoy.  Pick up on your reading or just go people watching and start that Christmas shopping list.  We only have 155 days till Christmas 2011.

Cold showers, multiple.  Hey its your time to feel refreshed and clean.  Take 5 minute quick showers in cold water your body will love it and you will feel more alert and relaxed.  Enjoy!

Watch your activities level. If you must work outside take breaks often and don't push yourself to exhaustion.  If you feel light headed or dizzy stop and sit down and drink water.
Clothing light colors and a hat. You would be surprised how many people don't think about colors of clothing.  Whites, tans and other light colors help. The hat idea, is a must it helps keep the direct sun off your scalp and keeps your safer in this type of high humid scorching weather.
So my sizzling Saturday idea's for today.  I hope you stay cool.  and stay smiling!  Make a difference for those around you and stay healthy along the way.
Enjoy your day everyone and a quick video to brighten your day : )
