Summer Fun

Well -- summer is here, school is out in the south, still in session in the north, and it is hot and humid in MS.

Some simple tips for summer health and safety:

1. Hydrate throughout the day. Every time you drink coffee or alcohol, drink some more water.

2. Have some comfortable clothes in the car with you so you can change to be active or if you spill something.

3. Remember that when you eat fruits and veggies, you also get water along with vitamins and nutrients.

4. Be aware of your surroundings - look for poison ivy, look for critters, look for boats when in the water, watch your step.

5. Wear sunscreen -- the kind that protects you -- SPF 30+

6. Be active and enjoy nature, step outside of the gym, learn a new skill like kayaking, or take a walk in a park.

7. Have fun with family and friend!

Enjoy the summer!
