1.  Wearing loose fitting clothing can help keep you cool. While some fabrics are tightly woven causing heat to be trapped, cotton is “breathable” allowing air to circulate keeping you cooler.  

 

 

2.  Lightly colored fabrics are preferred to darker colored materials when trying to stay cool.  Dark colored clothing absorbs heat from the sun.  Try an experiment (or just watch a youtube) if you don’t believe me……Heat Absorption by Color

 

 

3.  Remove ALL clothing and receive a relaxation massage (with proper draping of course) in a quiet, AIR CONDITIONED massage therapy studio!  Body temperature drops as clients start to drift off. Receiving a relaxating massage at Married to Massage, will definitely get you closer to dream land!  Don’t forget that this midtown massage therapist offers a cool bottle of water on your way out.  Yes, staying hydrated in these hot summer days is imperative for optimal health. Without it, your body is more likely to experience LOW blood pressure.  We are often checking our blood pressure to be sure that it isn’t too high but some of us (myself included) experience low blood pressure which has it’s own host of issues.  I experience dizziness, headaches and muscle cramps as a result of dehydration.  Yes, I’m a diet coke-a-holic.  It’s a problem for me, I know and the caffeine only exacerbates the problem.  It also doesn’t set a good example for my clients. How much water should we be drinking for optimal health?  In massage school, we are trained to tell clients to drink half your body weight in ounces.  (IE: a 100 lb woman would require 50 ounces of water intake daily).  Be sure to drink more as the temperature rises and when you exercise.
