WEYBURN - Our recent spikes in temperature have had me seeking relief from the heat, and searching for ways to battle the effects of heat exhaustion.

As I wait for the fall temps to arrive, I sit as close to the fan or A/C as humanly possible.

We’ve had several heat warnings over the past few weeks, so I thought our readers would  benefit from the tips below to “beat the heat."

Here are some summer wellness tips to help you stay healthy and energized during the warmer months:

1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and electrolyte-rich drinks to combat heat and humidity.

2. Protect your skin: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wear hats, and seek shade when the sun is strong.

3. Stay cool: Take cool showers or baths, use cooling packs or cold compresses, and wear light, breathable clothing.

4. Eat seasonal: Enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are in season, such as berries, tomatoes, and basil.

5. Stay active: Engage in outdoor activities like swimming, cycling, or hiking, but avoid peak sun hours.

6. Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to help your body recover from the heat.

7. Manage stress: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.

8. Be mindful of heat exhaustion: Watch for symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and headaches, and seek medical help if they persist.

Remember to enjoy the sunshine and warmth, but prioritize your health and well-being!
