Beat the Humidity (On a Budget)


Spring is in the air and summer is almost here. Fun in the sun and outdoor activities are upon us. But with the heat comes the humidity.  Not everyone has air conditioning, or wants to spend the money of electric costs to keep it running. Here are a few tips on how to beat the humidity - on a budget.

  1. Skip the drying cycle on the dishwasher. Simply open the door and let it air dry.
  2. Wear light colored clothing with thinner fabrics - this will help sweat evaporate quickly, keeping you cooler. 
  3. Eating spicy food can help cool you. It contains a chemical called capsaicin, which helps us perspire more readily, and when the sweat evaporates we experience a moment of cool. 
  4. Drink water. Not only is it just plain good for you, it helps keep you cool. 
  5. Turn off the lights!
