Project Inspiration: Avoiding Plateaus

It’s really heating up out there in the valley! This week’s post is about the rising temperatures in the area and how to keep cool Las Vegas.
Beginning with the notion that water is so vital to our systems as human beings. It is the most important nutrients that our body needs to survive. Signs we need to keep up with the ever so high temperatures of Las Vegas whether we are walking the dog, walking into a store and doing basic thinks around there are signs of hydration. Such as the Lack of saliva or dry mouth, Rapid heart beat and feeling signs of fatigue. So when feeling that on the day of a heatwave drinking throughout the day water preferably 5-6 glasses a day. This will give water a chance to get inside cells and begin their job of temperature regulation in the body. Drinking that entire water bottle quickly just before you go outside will not be as effective and may give you an upset stomach versus it actually helping you to stay hydrated. There are also veggies that have water, too such as cucumber, peppers and WATERmelon!

As staying protective nutritionally, we also need to take note that exposure to the sun can be detrimental and have long term risks involved such as skin cancer and premature age of the skin. Best way to avoid the sun is just not go out. That is obviously not the best way and is not very congruent to what we have to do in our lives. Wearing a simple hat can protect the face as well as wearing SPF creams that are found everywhere from our food store and pharmacies.

So it is very important to keep these facts and tips in the back of our mind when stepping out in the place we live call the desert. Next time don’t forget the lotion!
