Summer Health Tips

It’s another hot summer and you can take some simple steps to beat the heat and keep yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your pets healthy! Remember to drink plenty of water; wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing; and avoid outside activities during the hottest part of the day, which is from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Cooling down a few hours a day will allow your body to recover and tolerate the heat better for the rest of the day.
