Know what to wear&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly the biggest factor in keeping cool is the way you\u2019re dressed. The most cooling clothing for extreme heat will feature:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Breathable fabric, such as cotton or linen<\/strong>. If you\u2019re unsure whether your clothing is breathable, simply stick your hand inside the garment and blow on it. If you can feel your breath through the material, you\u2019re good to go.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A loose fit<\/strong>. When clothes are too tight, they can trap sweat against your skin, which makes it harder for your body to cool itself down. Opt for clothing that lets the sweat evaporate so your skin can breathe.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sun protection<\/strong>. Although it\u2019s tempting, shorts and tank tops are not always the best option during a heat wave. Save your or your loved one\u2019s bare skin from harmful UV rays by opting for a lightweight long-sleeve and pants.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lighter colors<\/strong>. That\u2019s right\u2014even the color of your clothing matters. Darker colors tend to absorb heat, while light colors reflect it. By wearing white and summery pastels, you and your loved one can stay cool and make a fashion statement!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-stay-hydrated\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Stay_hydrated\"><\/span>2. Stay hydrated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Older adults should ask their doctor how much water they should drink per day, particularly if their daily fluid intake is limited or if they\u2019re taking water pills. In general, it\u2019s a good idea to drink more water than normal during the hot summer months. Don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re thirsty. Rather, drink small amounts of water consistently throughout the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple ways for seniors to stay hydrated include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eating foods with high water content, such as lettuce, watermelon, and tomatoes&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Limiting coffee and tea consumption&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoiding alcohol&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always keeping a water bottle on hand&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Switching things up with seltzer or flavored water&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Incorporating low-sugar sports drinks, coconut water, and whole-food smoothies to help replenish electrolytes when outdoors for extended periods&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-keep-the-house-cool-nbsp-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_the_house_cool\"><\/span>3. Keep the house cool &nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blasting the air conditioning in the summer tends to be a go-to choice to keep the house cool. But many cooling systems these days are notorious for breakdowns, leaving you with no AC and a pricey repair. Whether your HVAC has broken down or you\u2019re simply looking to save on your electric bill, it can help to know how to cool down a room without AC:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apply window treatments<\/strong>. Close any blinds, curtains, or shades to block sunlight from entering. If you don\u2019t have curtains or shades, consider applying reflective or insulated window film, particularly on east- and west-facing windows.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use ceiling fans<\/strong>. If you have ceiling fans in your home, make sure they\u2019re set to rotate counterclockwise. This movement helps push the air downward and increases airflow throughout the room.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid cooking on the stove<\/strong>. Instead of turning on your hot stove or oven, keep the heat outdoors and cook dinner on a grill. Just make sure you\u2019re dressed for the heat before firing up the grill.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get crafty<\/strong>. Create a cooling mist by hanging a damp bed sheet in front of open windows that let in an outdoor breeze. Alternatively, set out a box fan and place a shallow dish full of ice cubes in front of it for a similar effect.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-awb-color-3-background-color has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><strong>#DidYouKnow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common myth is that closing doors to unused rooms will help cool down a home more efficiently. However, this can actually disrupt the airflow throughout your house. That means your cooling system must work harder to do its job, and your energy bill will likely increase because of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-home-modifications-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In-home_modifications\"><\/span>In-home modifications&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or your loved one has the means to do so, modifying the house itself is one of the best ways to beat the heat this summer. Here are some simple tips to help you get started:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Update the insulation&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install screens onto windows&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swap incandescent light bulbs for energy-efficient LEDs&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plant trees and shrubs around the house to create more shade&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install awnings over windows&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-avoid-overly-strenuous-exercise-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Avoid_overly_strenuous_exercise\"><\/span>4. Avoid overly strenuous exercise&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular exercise has a multitude of health benefits for older adults; however, seniors should consider certain safety precautions when it\u2019s excessively hot outside. To help your aging loved one maintain a healthy exercise routine without overheating, try the following tips:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stick with low-impact exercises, such as swimming or walking.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exercise in well-air-conditioned indoor spaces.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plan physical activity, whether it\u2019s a full workout or daily chores, for early in the morning or in the evening when the temperature is cooler.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Refuel with plenty of water and cool, healthy snacks like frozen fruit and cold salads.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work out together for added safety and interaction.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Talk with a doctor about a suitable exercise routine, particularly if you or a loved one has a cardiovascular condition or other medical concern.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-explore-the-great-indoors\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Explore_the_great_indoors\"><\/span>5. Explore the great indoors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the going gets tough, the tough get going. If you and your loved one have exhausted your at-home options for cooling down and nothing seems to help, venture out into your community. Find a sweet treat at a local coffee shop, dive into a good book at a nearby library, or try a fun new activity at a recreation or senior center. Public spaces like these should always have working air conditioning and offer unique ways to switch up your afternoon with a change of scenery.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-home-care-help-seniors-stay-cool-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_home_care_help_seniors_stay_cool\"><\/span>How does home care help seniors stay cool?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At HomeWell, we understand an in-home caregiver\u2019s crucial role in ensuring seniors\u2019 safety.
