Summer is upon us once again. My wife Ponzi is a very loving person. But, she’s always freezing, and I’m always too hot! I keep it very cool up in my office. Ponzi’s office is down in the basement, and she keeps the heat on. What do you do to keep cool in the summer and beat the heat? Commodore256 from our live chat room sent in his top tips for helping you to stay comfortable and healthy in the summer sun.

1. Drink Plenty of Water. People underestimate the importance of a properly hydrated body. A properly hydrated body is the best way to stay healthy in the heat. As for myself, I always have water with me at all times. Drinking water or like Gatorade is the most important way to help prevent dehydration.
2. Stay Inside an Air Conditioned Building. If you don’t have air conditioning, and your fan isn’t enough, go to a place that has air conditioning. You can head out to visit a friend, catch a movie at the theater, or read quietly at your local library. If you don’t have transportation, some places offer free bus rides on “Ozone Alert” days.
3. Go Swimming. Going to the pool or beach is an excellent way to lower your body’s temperature, have fun and get some exercise all at the same time. If you have a pool, bring your friends over and plan a cookout. After all… the more, the merrier.
4. Wear Sunblock. After all, you don’t want end up getting burned like Icarus. Wearing sunblock will also help keep you from shedding like a snake later on.
5. Stay At Home. If it gets too hot to stay outside and you don’t feel like going anywhere to cool off, just stay at home. You won’t be doing much at home, but you’re not very likely to get heat stroke indoors.

Those are excellent tips, Commodore256. Now, I know all of you are sitting there, muttering to yourselves that you know these things already. But… do you actually DO these things? Keep them in mind, and stay safe this summer.
