As we enter the summer months it is just going to get hotter.
We all have to remember to take precautions when things really heat up.
They say the best defense against heat related illness is prevention and it all starts with being hydrated.
Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, but stay away from drinks that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar.
These can actually dehydrate you.
Wearing light colored clothing can help keep you cool, but getting under some shade is always the best.
Whether you have to be outdoors for work or you just want to get some sun, don’t forget that sunscreen.
These tips may seem like common knowledge, but if you don’t take the necessary precautions and keep doing them everyday you could set yourself up for a world of hurt.
Don’t forget about your pets.
When it comes to the summer heat, what’s good for you is good for your pet.
Give them plenty of water and keep them indoors as much as possible.
Follow these tips and you should be good to go.
Stay safe, drink water and drive on.
