There are many ways you can stay cool in hot weather. (iStock)
Sometimes, being out in triple-digit weather is unavoidable. Some families may head to an amusement park when the sun is shining and face long lines. You may need to tend to your garden or start a new exercise program that requires spending time in hot weather. Whatever the reason, if you’re out and about this summer, you have to be aware of the effects of the heat on your body.
If you plan to be in an environment with high temperatures and humidity for an extended period of time, your body has to work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature. If you can’t avoid the heat, you should prepare a way to stay cool outdoors. If you must spend time outdoors this summer, here are nine options to help you regulate your body temperature:
Try an ice roller for immediate pain relief. (Walmart)

This stainless steel ice roller from Kitsch is $10 at Walmart and is also a great option for tightening skin and brightening the under-eye area. You can also try the ESARORA Ice Roller on Amazon for less than $20.
