Stay Hydrated and Healthy
Everyone knows to eat plenty of fruits and veggies, but it’s especially important during the summer. These nutritious foods contain lots of water, which helps keep you hydrated when you’re sweating. Some of the best to try include watermelon, cucumbers, summer squash, lettuce and strawberries. Fruit and vegetable juices are also good choices, but be sure to read the labels to make sure there isn’t added sugar, salt or other undesirable ingredients.

Turn Up the Heat
As counterintuitive as it seems, spicy foods and warm beverages help your body cool down. They cause your body to sweat, which in turn cools you off. That’s why the cuisines in hot regions of the world are so spicy. So the next time you’re feeling warm, cook up batch of George’s Chili!

Avoid These Indulgences
Even though ice cream and alcoholic beverages provide temporary relief, in the end, you’ll feel worse. Ice cream and other icy treats cool you down fast, but your body heats up to rebalance its temperature. And while a beer or daiquiri have the same temporary effect, alcohol is dehydrating—the last thing you want in the summer heat.
