Summer is Here, So Stay Cool and Avoid Headaches with Excedrin + Giveaway
Can you believe the summer is already here? Record highs are sweeping the nation and with the heat come headaches. Headaches are not only uncomfortable, but they make it harder to perform the daily tasks we need to do! So, how can we reduce those unwelcome headaches during the summer months? Fitness Expert, Kathy Kaehler has some great tips on how to do this.
– Exercise. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress, release endorphins and feel great about yourself. However, be careful when exercising during the summer. The combination of exercise and heat increases your core body temperature and decreases the blood circulation to the muscles you’re using. Because of this strain and potential dehydration, you may get headaches more frequently.
– Weather. You can’t always control the weather, but there are plenty of triggers you can easily keep in check by understanding what they are and how to combat them. When it’s hot, stay inside and ensure insulation is updated by https://cavity-wall-insulation.uk.
– Headache Triggers. Here are some headache triggers you might run into while exercising in the warm weather, along with some tips to stay cool and keep these triggers at bay:’
- Be Flexible with Your Routine: Exercise in the morning instead of on hot afternoons. Stay indoors when humidity is high instead of working out outside. During the hot summer months, wear thin, breathable clothes while exercising outdoors and test out classes in a gym as opposed to outdoor workouts.
- Dehydration: Be sure to stay hydrated by drinking water before, during and after your workout. Try to refrain from drinking beverages that leave you parched, such as soda and excessive amounts of caffeine or alcohol. After your workout, moisturize your skin to keep your whole body hydrated.
- Light: Wear sunglasses or a baseball cap when exercising outside. Take frequent breaks in the shade or in cooler areas. Try not to embark on that 10-mile run on the hot asphalt during the brightest (and most scorching) part of the day, when light is reflecting at you from all angles.
– Excedrin. You can’t always avoid my headaches, especially during the summer, but when you do get one, be sure to take Excedrin® Extra Strength to help you get back on track.

I try to stay out of the direct sunlight during the summer. I squint a lot and that seems to bring on headaches.
