trappedat20 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 My last post got me thinking that we should make a really long post filled with tips for staying cool in different situations this summer. I don't know about you but the heat is already killing me.IN THE CAR- If you have one of those automatic car starters you are so lucky and I'm so jealous of you. For the rest of us, turn the air conditioning on 5 minutes before you get in the car. It's worth it. Being in a hot car in the summer is the worst.- Those things that block the windows and keep the car from getting too hot.IN GENERAL- Drink lots of fluids.- A cooling vest- Popsicle's (okay I just think they're tasty and want an excuse to eat Popsicle's) - Dress appropriately for the weather. - A hat with a visor or an umbrella attached to your wheel chair for days outside might keep some of the sun awayThat's all of the tips I can think of off the top of my head, but add your tips and let's not let the heat keep us down this summer.

TCP Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Great tips...thank you!I use a cooling vest and also dip burning feet in cool water and that helps a lot. I also have Del Monte Pineapple ice lollies in the fridge and they have no additives in them and taste divine. I also have a hand-held fan... I put the blind down on the side of the house when the morning sun hits and do the other side when it travels round to the front of the house. I also have a plain spray bottle and spritz myself with it when I get too hot. Like you say plenty of salt and water. Have fun in the sun!

DeGenesis Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I feel lucky that as a man if I feel too hot in public I can just take my shirt off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
