Yes summer is a great time to be outside, play some golf, get in the garden and have friends and family over for a barbeque. But sometimes there are those days where the heat is just too much! Here are some tips for staying cool in the summer heat.

Keeping cool when temperatures reach record highs isn't just about comfort. Dangerously high temperatures can result in heat-related illnesses ranging from heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The following tips can help you keep cool all summer long.

1. Alter your pattern of outdoor exercise to take advantage of cooler times (early morning or late evening). If you can't change the time of your workout, scale it down by doing fewer minutes, walking instead or running, or decreasing your level of exertion.
2. Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably of a light color.
3. Cotton clothing will keep you cooler than many synthetics.
