Being pregnant/ REALLY pregnant during our sauna summers in south florida is no easy task. I remember just asking my husband to drive me around because the car ac could get much cooler than any central ac in a house. (Plus it helped with my nausea... but ask your well meaning hubby to avoid bumps) Here are some positive ways to handle our florida heat while enjoying your pregnancy.
Relax - With the extra hours of sunlight and busy schedule, summer is one of the easiest times of year to get burned out. Take some time each day to be alone, whether you are meditating, breathing, reading or walking- this practice will help you to stay grounded and keep your energy reserves full.
Eat hot spices - Though this might sound ironic because of your heartburn... the spices of Indian food actually help our bodies regulate to a comfortable temperature. So enjoy spices like ginger, black pepper, chili peppers and cayenne.
Take a dip - In south florida, exercising outdoors can be a challenge. Take advantage of good ole' Atlantic ocean and take a dip. There are many healing benefits of salt water that replenish our adrenals, kidneys and reproductive organs, while gently detoxifying and refreshing.
