plan the perfect summer getaway

It can be exciting to plan how to spend your summer while there’s still a chill in the air.

While many of us crave summer fun, the hot weather can pose a serious risk to our health. But the heat doesn’t have to ruin your summer break. Here are some planning tips to keep your time in the heat safe and comfortable.

schedule smartly

Avoid scheduling outdoor activities during the hottest hours of the day, which is usually between 11 in the morning and three in the afternoon. Identify air-conditioned or cool spaces like museums or malls where you can spend time away from the heat or other weather conditions.

follow the forecast

While planning your summer fun, try to keep tabs on the long-range

weather forecast to get an idea of what to expect. That said, forecasts can change, so it’s important to know where to get up-to-date information on local weather and air quality. It’s also important to be prepared to adapt to unseasonable weather.

dress wisely

Light-weight, light-coloured clothing made of breathable fabrics can help keep you cool. Keep this in mind when choosing your vacation outfits. Layering these pieces can help you stay comfortable when temperatures fluctuate.

be aware

Make sure you understand what health risks you face so that you can plan accordingly and enjoy your time off to the fullest. This applies to your health in the heat, too. Hot temperatures pose serious health risks for everyone. They can lead to heat

illnesses like heat stroke, which can be deadly. If you take medication or have a health condition, ask your health-care provider if heat is more dangerous for you and follow their recommendations.

These simple steps to prepare for hot and humid weather can help you stay healthy and enjoy your summer adventures.

6 hacks to save you money

If your costs seem to be growing but your wallet isn’t, check out these tips and tricks from Royal Bank of Canada to hack your budget and help keep more money in your pocket.

audit your bills:

While it may sound tedious, it’s important to scrutinize your expenses. Take the time to review phone bills, subscriptions and receipts to spot areas where you could be saving.

reward yourself:

Leverage rewards cards and programs for your everyday purchases

and expenses, and take advantage of retailers offering extra points when you shop.

consolidate debts:

When paying off your credit card isn’t an option, look for opportunities to consolidate your debt to a lower-interest option, like a line of credit.

reduce impulse buys:

Add a delay-switch to your online shopping. After adding items to your cart, let them stay there for 24 hours before completing the checkout. This will give you time

to review the purchase and reduce impulse buys.

Make sure sales really are sales: Even if something is labelled as a sale, make sure you do your research and shop around for the best price.

talk about it:

There is value in talking about your finances with others. Even if you don’t have a banker on speed dial, you likely have financially savvy people in your network. Pick their brains.

6 tips to improve your sleep

Sleep is more than just rest – it’s your body’s ultimate repair session, boosting immunity and revitalizing you from head to toe. And for people living with arthritis and chronic pain, there is a vicious cycle in which pain causes stress, pre-

vents good sleep and leads to more discomfort.

Fortunately, there are steps that you can take to reclaim peaceful nights and set yourself up for sleep success.

Here are six tips to help you catch more Zs:

limit screen time

Exposure to blue light from electronic devices tricks our brains into thinking it’s daytime and delays the production of melatonin, a hormone that induces sleep. Unplug at least one hour before bed to reclaim your natural sleep rhythm.

ing with pets to create your optimal sleep sanctuary.

get moving

Exercise is a key component of good sleep, boosting adenosine activity in the brain which supports your sleep drive, and releasing endorphins which boosts your mood. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes four times a week can help you sleep well at night and feel good all day.

watch what you drink

improve your environment

With age comes an increased sensitivity to noise, light and movements, causing disruptions in your sleep cycle. Invest in a supportive mattress and pillows, try ear plugs or eye masks, and avoid sleep-

Avoid caffeinated beverages or snacks after 4 p.m., as caffeine can keep you stimulated and awake past your bedtime. And while alcohol is a depressant that technically relaxes you, consuming it will disrupt and reduce the quality of your sleep. If you’re thirsty towards bedtime, limit yourself to light sips of water

to avoid multiple visits to the washroom throughout the night.

plan your routine

Establishing a structured bedtime routine with a checklist of to-do’s can help you get into bed on time. However, if you end up going to bed late, try to wake up at the same time in the morning. It’s better to feel tired for one day than to alter your regular sleep schedule.

mind the meds

Some medications used to treat arthritis pain are stimulants, so it’s preferable to take them in the morning rather than before bed. Follow your pharmacist’s recommendations on when to take prescribed drugs for best results. Find more wellness tips from Arthritis Society Canada at arthritis.ca/living-well. ■

spring cleaning sort, downsize and organize your belongings

BY CHUCK RESNICK

Spring is the season of new beginnings. But it can be hard to appreciate if you’re stuck in your apartment rental trying to sift through the accumulation of winter clutter.

Fortunately there are some easy techniques to help get a jumpstart on spring cleaning. The following steps will help get your apartment rental organized and allow you to enjoy the new season, clutter-free.

We recommend the following tips to get organized this spring:

start by sorting and organizing closets

Limited closet space? Consider storing winter items in the attic, basement, storage locker or garage. Wardrobe boxes offer excellent space for hanging coats, sweaters and snow pants.

sort out items no longer used or worn

If it hasn’t been worn in more than a year, then it probably won’t be again. Set aside a couple empty boxes for donations or items to sell.

think green

Survey local recycling options to find the most convenient solution for recyclables. Organize recyclables by category: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc.

exercise care with hazardous materials

Be conscientious about the materials being disposed. Toxic items such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides, and fertilizers are dan-

gerous to transport and should not be thrown away with nontoxic garbage. These items should be taken to specialized depots.

use sturdy boxes with dividers for breakables

Make sure cardboard boxes are structurally sound. Dish-pack boxes with adjustable inserts that form individual cells are a great option for fragile items.

work on other spaces

Once closets are organized, do the same in other storage areas like the attic or garage.

concentrate on disinfecting spaces

Change air filters, rotate mattresses and vacuum under furniture. ■
