Ways to Stay Cool During a Summer Heatwave

1. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and thirst-quenching beverages like Gatorade.

2. Stay indoors in air-conditioning if possible.

3. Get physical activity accomplished early in the morning or in the evening when the sun has gone down. Walking the dog, watering the lawn, exercising, etc.

4. If you have to be out in the direct sunlight, wear light breathable clothing and perhaps a hat and sunglasses to cut down on exposure. If the skin is exposed, you should remember to apply at least SPF 50 sunscreen.

5. Check on friends, neighbors, and loved ones who are seasoned citizens and may need help during a heat spell. Make sure they have plenty of water and a cool place to stay.
