We at Action Heating and Air Conditioning know that we are all facing another hot summer this year in South Alabama. We would like to give you a few tips that can help you deal with the summer heat.

• Drink Plenty of Water– Staying hydrated is important to your overall health regardless of what time of the year we are in. The Mayo Clinic recommends a minimum of 92 ounces for women and 124 for men. Adding flavors to it such as lemon or lime may help make it easier to achieve your daily water intake goal.
• Stay away from direct exposure in the hottest time of the day– Mid afternoon from around 3 pm and 6 pm is normally the hottest part of the day during the Summer.
• Wear cotton and loose clothing– Cotton is soft and lightweight. It is breathable which allows heat to escape from the body. It also soaks up sweat.
• Ventilate and cool your indoor living space– Ensure that your air conditioning system is ready to deal with the hot summer days. Also making sure that your home is well ventilated is also important. Ceiling fans are a good way to help with ventilation.
• Never exercise outdoors in the hottest part of the day– Exercise is important but working out outdoors in the hottest part of the day makes it difficult for your body to stay cool.
• Wear Sun Block– When unprotected skin is exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, skin cells typically see a drop in levels of nitric oxide. Reduced nitric oxide results in a reduction in blood flow to the skin, which can throw your body temperature out of whack.

We at Action Heating and Air Conditioning hope this information will be helpful to you as you work to stay cool in our hot Summer months.
