4 Tips for Keeping Cool This Summer
Summertime is quickly approaching which means trips to the beach and longer days are right around the corner. But while we Floridians may live in paradise, the summer can also be synonymous with unbearable temperatures. Learn four tips to help you keep your cool this summer, here:
Keep Hydrated
We all know the importance of staying hydrated, but it can still be tough to remember to drink enough water. As the summer approaches and temperatures rise, it’s easier to get dehydrated. Dehydration can be serious, so keep healthy and cool this summer by drinking at least eight cups of water throughout the day, and more if you’re outside, in the sun, or participating in sports.
Wear Loose-Fitting Clothing
Choosing the right clothing can help you keep cool during hot days. Opt for loose-fitting clothing that’s light in color and made of cotton. Light-colored clothes will attract less sun, while cotton tends to breathe more than synthetic materials.
Keep Cold Treats on Deck
Summer is the perfect time to indulge is some cooling sweet treats. Popsicles, ice cream, smoothies and the like are tasty, kid-approved and can help everyone cool down a little when it’s hot. For a healthier take on a summer dessert, try blending frozen bananas, peanut butter and cinnamon for a cooling treat that’s still good for you.
Make Sure Your Air Conditioner Is Summer Ready
Sometimes the easiest way to beat the heat is to retreat to the indoors with the AC on full blast. One of the worst things for any Floridian to experience in the summer is a broken AC. Fortunately, you can ensure your AC is functioning efficiently and ready for the summer months with preventative maintenance. During a maintenance checkup, one of our technicians will inspect every part of your AC and determine whether or not it is functioning as efficiently as it could be. More importantly, if there are any underlying problems, a maintenance checkup will be able to fix them before they become bigger issues or your AC stops working altogether.
