Beat The Summer Heat
The best thing is to drink plenty of water. Not so much that you are peeing out all your nutrients though! The general rule is ½ your body weight in ounces of water. For example, a 150lb Adult would drink 75oz of water a day. Unless you are working outside or exercising and losing a lot of water there is no need to drink more than a gallon of water a day.
Try All the things below to help beat the summer heat!
- Yarrow tea or tincture sprayed onto the back of the neck can help cool you down if you get overheated easily.
