8-ways-beat-heat

Ice or Ice water
Drinking plenty of fluids so that you do not become dehydrated is a great way to beat the heat. I have discovered how to beat the heat by just sucking crushed ice. This is a good way to keep cool and not become dehydrated. Do not forget that popsicles are not only good, but they can keep you cool as well.
Washing Hands and Hair

When you wash your hands, you may want to wash in warm water, but rinse in cold water. That cold-water rinse is quite a relief from the heat. Have you tried rinsing your hair in cold water? According to Susonnah Gonzalez at Naturallycurly.com, cold water closes the pores and prevents dirt from accumulating on the scalp. Do you recall when the Jeri-curl was popular? When preparing the Jeri-curl the final rinse was always cold water. I recall how some people's hair would really grow when they had a Jeri-curl. Now I can see why.

Air Conditioning

You might want to consider staying in your air conditioned home as much as possible as the heat rises. Enjoy the air conditioner.

Basement

Most basements are nice and cool. If you are lucky enough to have one, take advantage of it during the hot days of summer.

Ceiling Fans

Ceiling Fans are excellent for cooling your home. Many business establishments including several restaurants that I have been in have ceiling fans to help cool their rooms.

Cool Shower

Try taking a cool shower. You do not need to wait until morning or night, take a shower during the day. Not only will you be clean, but you will be cool as well.

Swimming Pool

Take advantage of your swimming pool or a friend's swimming pool. This is the time to use it and beat the heat.

Open Those Windows:

Even if you have air conditioning, there are some days you may find a nice cool breeze can be more refreshing and cooling. If this happens, give your air conditioning a time off. Cool breezes like this might be a rarity.

According to Leona Perry at Web MD, stated that some community members stated the heat is keeping rheumatoid arthritis suffers awake at night. So staying cool can be very vital to your sleep and your health as well.
