PROVIDENCE EXPERTS PROVIDE
COOL TIPS AS SUMMER HEATS UP
July 13, 2006
July finds us in the heat of the summer - with all the good and bad that brings with it. Providence experts can provide tips on how best to survive these active days, whether you’re a child enjoying school vacation, or an adult looking to beat the heat.
SUNSHINE DANGERS
Dermatologists now consider skin cancer an epidemic in the United States. You can avoid becoming a statistic by using sunscreen and staying out of the direct sun in the heat of the day. Remember to encourage good sun habits with your children as well. Providence experts can explain how best to protect yourself and your loved ones.
BEATING THE HEAT BY EATING
Did you know what you eat can help keep you cool in the heat of summer? Specific diets help our bodies handle the hot weather months. As a bonus these diets also enhance heart health year round. Providence experts can help you load up your pantry and refrigerator with heat beating foods.
WATCH THAT COOL ONE
Not all thirst-quenching drinks are wise choices. Some iced coffee drinks and fruit smoothies actually exceed the fat and calorie content of a fast food hamburger. Providence experts can explain how to choose drinks with your health, and waste line, in mind.
STOCKING THE SUMMER MEDICINE CABINET
With the kids home for summer vacation, now is a great time to take stock - and maybe restock - your medicine cabinet. This time of year you should be ready for sunburns, cuts, bug bites and bee stings. Providence experts can explain what works best for these common summer time health concerns and tell you what first aid supplies every parent should have on hand.
