Summer Heat and Summer Breeze!

I am still amazed at the complexity of climate change this year for this summer. Do you remember in June how it rain constantly. I must have been like 27 days out of the entire month, right.

Then I noticed three weeks of summer because at that point the temperature was somehow decent. And now, it's late August, we're getting some real heat. Whether you're a fan of the heat or not, there are certain precautions that you must take to protect yourself when it's too hot.

A few people have been asking me lately about the heat. So, here are a few quick tips that you can start implementing right away.

1) Have a bottle of water with you or near you so you can keep yourself rehydrate

2) Avoid diuretic drink such as a lot of caffeine (coca cola or lots of coffee)because it will dry the water in your cells out and may promote fainting or dizziness

3) Wear lighter shirts and pants and socks (meaning not heavy cotton) because as you walk, your heart rates goes up and core temperature will rise, and if it's too hot and you're wearing a lot of heavy clothing that will promote more water drainage.

4) Avoid heat stroke by cooling off in shaded area

5) Since the body is made off of 75% - 80% of water. When it's really hot you will lose more water over a short period of time, and you must keep replenishing faster, so your major organs (liver, kidney, heart, skin, etc) don't fail, and function optimally. So the more water you ingest when it's really hot the merrier.

P.S Remember: Juices and caffeine will put you in jeopardy for heat stroke and organ failure. This is a long scientific story I don't want to go into too much details here. So, stay away from them when it's too hot, instead try to get your hands on fresh fruits, lots of salads, and eat the fruits on a stomach that's not too full so you don't store the sugar (fructose) in your belly.
