From the windows to the water bottle, here are 6 tips for beating the summer heat:
- Shade Your Windows - Use natural shade like trees or a mounted overhangs over your windows to prevent the sun from heating your house.
- Put Up Drapes, Blinds, or Shades - Again, the idea is to prevent as much sun from entering your house as possible.
- Circulate the Air - You can accomplish this through ceiling or floor fans, but circulating air will be cooler than stagnant.
- Keep Major Appliances Off During the Day - These generate heat when their motors are working, so try to limit oven and dryer use and not keep the refrigerator open.
- Lighten Your Bed Load - Transition to sheets and blankets that allow heat to be released.
- Stay Hydrated - Not only does drinking lots of water have many health benefits, it can also help with your body temperature regulation.
