Be Chill, Stay Cool!
Let's be honest, this summer has been a hot one. In fact, since summer has started, many of us have seen record-setting temperatures that have barely let up even when the sun's gone down. (1)
And though this seems like something that's obvious (summertime and heat - duh), this is actually a serious and potentially life-threatening health crisis when not prepared for and taken seriously.
Thankfully, there are guidelines that can help prepare your mind and body for this head-splitting heat, as well as an ALL-NATURAL SOLUTION to your summertime suffering that will keep you cool and relieve your heat-induced stress all summer long.
In this blog we talk about how to beat the heat this summer, and how you can instantly feel COOLER and MORE REFRESHED TODAY!

The first thing to know about the crazy level of heat we're experiencing is that avoiding dangerous health complications starts with you. And the first (and best) thing you should do is practice common sense.
One way to do this is by staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, which is from 11 AM - 3 PM. During these hours, keep to a shaded area or stay indoors. (2)
It's also important to know your own personal heat tolerance. For example, heatwaves offer devastating health problems for everyone, but are especially dangerous to older people, those with a long-term illness or serious health problem, and the vulnerable who struggle to keep cool, like babies and those who are bed bound. (3)
QUICK TIP: Iced water will help you cool down and achieve a normal temperature. For instant cool-down relief to help you beat the heat this summer, check out GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL HOT FLASH SPRAY! (4)
You may be thinking that some of the hottest temperatures are behind us, and you survived those, so you're good. Well, this isn't exactly true. And that's because of something called humidity.
Humidity can cause fans to just blow hot air. To protect yourself, go indoors and turn up the A/C.
Humidity adds to the dangers of the heat because it doesn't allow your sweat to evaporate as it normally does. This means the heat you feel stays on you much longer than it should. (5)
And for those with either no air conditioning or poor air conditioning, you should remember that hot air tends to rise, so you should go downstairs, use ice, and remember to stay hydrated if you're feeling weak and drained. (6)

TIPS & TRICKS
Using common sense and drinking water is essential to staying cool during a heatwave, but there are a few tips and tricks that can offer you some help to get you through this record-breaking heat.
One lesser-known way to stay cool is by taking warm showers. In fact, warm showers are better than cool showers because cool showers shrink your pores, which will eventually open after your shower and cause your temperature to warm up when you least expect it. (7)
It's also important that you know where to target when keeping yourself cool. Your ankles and wrists contain many pulse points where your blood vessels are close to your skin, so targeting these points can help you beat the heat quickly. (8)
QUICK TIP: Pets can heat up rapidly due to their fur. Be sure you're checking on them frequently and washing their sweat off with GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO! (9)
Although your home can seem like the perfect respite from the summer's crazy heat, that isn't always the case. In fact, you need to take care of your home as much as you need to take care of yourself.
To heatwave-proof your home, use drapes, awnings, and blinds to help keep the sunlight out, and be sure to weather-strip your doors to keep the cold air in. You should also be sure to check your filters and make sure your air conditioning unit is functioning properly and well insulated. (10)
Close your blinds to help keep the sunlight out and your house cool.
Also, be sure to keep the doors of your rooms open to help prevent the buildup of heat in one area. And when you are chilling in your cool room, relax. Doing strenuous activity can only make you more dehydrated and suffer from the summer heat. (11)
