The Las Vegas summer heat has arrived. I’m experiencing this weather now in my 24th year of living here.
I’ve been asked many times “How can you stand the heat?” I actually don’t mind it! Having been born and raised on the East Coast and experiencing the hot, humid summers and dreaded winters, I do love living here.
How do I keep cool during these hot months? First of all, I hydrate! Rule of thumb is to calculate your weight (be honest!) then divide that number by two. That’s how many ounces of water you need to drink daily! And during the summer months, we need additional ounces of water.
Try to stay in air conditioning as much as possible. Dress in lighter clothing, especially if you work outside, wear sunscreen, and try to cover up as much as possible.
A wet towel around the neck helps to keep you cool. If you experience dizziness, fainting, extreme sweating, try to hydrate or get inside as soon as possible.
Keep safe, hydrate and enjoy your summer!
POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND HAPPY HEALTH TO ALL!
