Dress for Success
If you want to look and feel super cool on summer's hottest days, then think fashion! Dark colours just won't cut in the head, choose light-weright fabrics, loose-fitting. Finish off your summer outfit with a funky hat to keep the sun off your head.
Eat Smart
Some fruit and veggies are almost completely name up of water. Like melon and cucumber, they'll keep you hydrated and cool you down. Try and keep away from heavy dinners, they can be difficult to digest. To keep hydrated try and stay away from caffeine, alcohol and salt.
Stay Hydrated
I know what you saying, that is an obvious statement, but H2O is the way to go! Make sure you'e always got a water bottle with you.
Seek Out The Shade
Have fun in the sun, but take sometime to seek out the shade. You can always take refuge under your beach umbrella, the beach pavilion or a lovely shady tree. But if you do spend time in the sun, remember slip, slop, slap!
Go Bare - From The Neck Up
Your body's temperature is controlled by your head and neck. If you've got long hair, pin it up and keep your neck bare.
Keep cool and a cucumber this summer, stay sun smart and you'll have an Otaki summer to remember.
