We're having a heat wave

Holy cow, it's been hot this summer!

When it's hot, be sure to increase your water intake, and eat plenty of wet foods. If you don't feel like cooking, you still need to be eating. There are plenty of good hot-weather meal choices, from cool soups to wraps to grilled foods (use that outdoor grill) to main-dish salads.

You can still exercise, but you may want to do it in the comfort of your air-conditioned home or gym. You may want to break up your exercise sessions into several 10-minute sessions, so you don't get overheated. Be aware of heat index warnings, and don't work out outside unless you're conditioned for the weather. Remember that heat + humidity = thunderstorms, and be prepared for severe weather if you're going to be outside.

Now get up and dance!
