Staying Cool In The Summer Heat



Summer is in full force. It's hot, humid, and everyone is trying to beat the heat. The most common ways to stay cool are: drinking lots of cold water, running the air conditioner or fan, going swimming, eating ice-cream, and sitting under a large tree for shade.

It's so hot and the blazing sun is beating down everywhere you turn. How do you stay cool? What else can you do?

Wear long loose-fitting clothes. Clothes that allow your skin to breathe. When the wind blows you can really feel it. Fabrics like: silk, rayon, georgette, cotton, linen, cotton gauze are great to work or relax in. Wearing long loose-fitting clothes not only keeps you cooler longer and faster it is also a protection from germs for your skin. If you are sitting at a public bench at a store or park. You don't know how many people have sat there before you. It's hot, and people have been sweating all over the seats. You don't want other people's sweat on your skin?

Long loose-fitting clothes is a protection from the sun and germs. Your skin doesn't have to pay the price. This way you can save money too, because you won't have to buy sunscreen, because your body will be covered and not exposed to the sun.
