Staying Cool & Ice Cream Week

In honor of National Ice Cream Month & National Ice Cream Day this Sunday, we are excited to announce all blog posts are catered to this classic tasty treat!

It is no secret that cancer, moreover, chemotherapy can cause you to overheat or crave cold treats. In fact we have discussed this topic in past blog posts!

Today we would like share with you simple ways to keep cool during the hot summer and beyond....

1. Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably of a light color.
2. Cotton clothing will keep you cooler than many synthetics.
3. Fill a spray bottle with water and keep it in the refrigerator for a quick refreshing spray to your face after being outdoors.
4. Fans can help circulate air and make you feel cooler even in an air-conditioned house.
5. Try storing lotions or cosmetic toners in the refrigerator to use on hot, overtired feet.
6. Freeze plastic water bottles in the fridge these can be used as cooling pas OR can be filled half-3/4 full to cool down drinking water. wearing a cap or hat, remove it and pour a bit of ice cold water into the hat, then quickly invert it and place on your head.
7. Instead of hot foods, try lighter summer fare including frequent small meals or snacks containing cold fruit or low fat dairy products. As an added benefit, you won't have to cook next to a hot stove.
