Beat the Heat! Tips for a healthy lifestyle Summer

 Well this post was meant to be put up a few weeks ago, but because of the sun we have had over the last few weeks (or lack of this) I have not done this at all. However because we are in the last few weeks of summer left, and this post has already been written and ready, I thought now is the time to put this in because I really wanted to share this wonderful guest post, and also apparently we are going to have weeks of hot weather (finally!!) in the UK. 

So I hope you enjoy this guest post by someone, and  feel free to comment as always
