Simple ways to beat the heat.

In addition to staying inside during the hottest part of the day, there are steps you can take to keep cool and healthy during a heat wave.

The obvious? Drink water. If you’re thirsty, the experts say, you’re probably already dehydrated.

Other tips: Try a cool shower with peppermint. The menthol scent tells your brain that what you’re feeling (or eating) is cold.

Cold compresses can be helpful — and if you don’t have one, try throwing a bottle of water into the freezer. Place these frozen objects on your wrists and neck to help cool down quickly.

Another way to beat the heat? Blast your fans, open up your laptop and check out this week’s new jobs.
