Summer is just around the corner, and it is already starting to get hot outside.  Now, there is nothing we can do to stop the heat from coming, but there are plenty of methods for keeping cool. Here are a few of the most effective.

Exercise at Cooler Times of Day

We all know that exercise is important, but if you are in the habit of exercising outdoors during the day, you can be at risk of heat stroke and dehydration in the heat of the summer.  If you want to really stay cool this summer, make an effort to exercise earlier in the morning and later in the evening to stay out of the heat.

This simple tip will keep you fit and cool this summer, and you can even catch a sweet sunrise with the cool morning breeze.

Stay Hydrated

It may seem like staying cool is all about what you do on the outside, but an important part of avoiding the heat is cooling off on the inside.  In summer months you will sweat out more than you would any other time of the year, so make sure to hydrate accordingly.

Choose Cool Clothing

Make smart clothing choices this summer by avoiding synthetic materials and clothes that are too tight.  Cotton is one of the coolest materials available, and loose fitting clothes are much more comfortable in the heat. 

Also avoid wearing dark colors since they tend to absorb much more heat.

Enjoy Your Summer

With these tips, you can make the most of your summer and keep cool, even in the intense Texas heat—so make this summer your best yet!
