It's hot outside — and it's about to get a lot hotter for millions of Americans this weekend. What can you do to stay cool? Aside from staying indoors, keeping your body well hydrated is key to staying healthy during a heat wave.
Dehydration can result in a headache or migraine, light headedness or delirium. The best way to prevent this from happening is to meet your daily hydration needs, for women, the National Academy of Sciences recommends 2.7 liters of water a day (about 11.4 cups), and for men, 3.7 liters (15 cups). Try to drink more water if you’ve spent excessive time in the sun, or exercising. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

Believe it or not, there is a way to ripen an avocado in minutes. Justin Chapple, the test kitchen pro behind Food & Wine's Mad Genius Tips, shared his secret: Bake them. It works for avocados that are dark, but still very firm.
Here’s how to do it: Wrap the avocados tightly in foil. Bake at 200 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, until the fruit is softened slightly, but not warmed. That should do the trick! |
