Memorial Day marks the official beginning of summer... those sizzling hot days of car trips... lazy afternoons spent by the pool... and endless BBQ parties. You are receiving this newsletter from  Primal Source News, published by Primal Health LP.        Memorial Day marks the official beginning of summer; those sizzling hot days of car trips, lazy afternoons spent by the pool, and endless BBQ parties. To help you and your family have the best day possible, we’ve put together a list of 10 ways you can stay safe and healthy this Memorial Day. 1. Avoid Food Poisoning While eating outside in the warmer temps can be enjoyable, it can also be dangerous. Be sure foods don’t spend more than one hour sitting outside when temperatures are above 90 degrees. Foods should not stay out more than two hours when temperatures are below 90. Harmful bacteria grow much faster in warmer temps. 2. Stay Hydrated  It’s important to hydrate all year long, but particularly essential during the hot summer months. If you are regularly exercising and sweating, you will want to take this into account as well. More sweating means more loss of hydration means more need for drinking water. Try to drink at least two to three quarts of water a day, a bit more if exercising. 3. Use Sun Protection It’s great to be able to spend more time outside, but the increased sun exposure can pose a risk to our skin and eyes. Be sure to wear sunglasses that wrap around the head and offer EPF rating above 9, along with a nice big hat to keep your head cool. I would reccommend applying plenty of sunscreen, but a recent TIME magazine article revealed that 80% of today's sunscreens either DON'T WORK or may actually be DANGEROUS to your health. Instead, here's a brilliant new alternative that works from the inside.

Take Advantage of Fresh, Local Produce Summer is the perfect time to support your local farmers while at the same time supporting your own immune system. Be sure to eat all of those delicious summer fruits and vegetables. To reap the most benefit, eat veggies in their raw form by making huge, colorful salads with your family. 5. Supervise That Grill Never leave a BBQ grill unattended, especially when pets and small children are nearby. Also, position the grill away from your home’s siding, deck railings, and out from under eaves and low-hanging branches. 6. Exfoliate Summer months mean an increase of dead skin cells. It’s important to exfoliate your skin to keep it healthy and soft. No need to buy an expensive product, a loofah or washcloth will do the trick. Afterwards, be sure to apply an all-natural lotion. 7. Use Your Head with Exercise Don’t be the person you see running at noon in July when temperatures have reached 87 and the humidity is just as high. If you are going to continue exercising during the summer, use your head and do so during the times of day when the temps are cooler, typically early morning or evening. If this humidity is high, take your exercise indoors. 8. Olive Oil You know all of those salads you are going to be making this summer? Be sure to dress them with extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil is a healthy fat that contains essential fatty acids that do everything from moisturize your skin to protecting your heart. Plus, it’s just delicious! 9. Watch Out for Ticks Your dogs are not the only ones who can pick up ticks and Lyme disease. You can easily pick up a tick while out in your backyard playing with your grandkids or gardening. Prevent tick bites and tick-borne illness by wearing light-colored clothing and shoes. Not only do light colors keep you cooler but you’ll be able to spot ticks crawling on you easier. Also, if hiking through the woods, tuck your pant legs into your socks. 10. Safe Car Trips For many people, summertime means traveling around the country by car visiting friends and family. Make sure your car has had a tune-up before any major car trip. Check tire pressure and windshield washer fluid. Make sure seatbelts and air conditioning are working properly.
