7 Tips for Staying Hydrated This Summer-image

Water is one of most crucial elements for all living things. Every organ, cell, and tissue in our bodies use it to function properly, which is why drinking enough water every day is important. It can help control calories, keep your skin looking healthy, maintain normal bowel function, maintains the balance of body fluids and more . Not drinking enough water leads to dehydration, which can cause fatigue, thirst, lightheadedness, kidney stones and more . Because more water is lost through sweat during summer, it’s especially important to remember to stay hydrated in the warmer months. In recognition of National Hydration Day, here are 7 tips for staying hydrated this summer: Make Water Your Drink of Choice According to The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the adequate daily fluid intake for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate is about 15.5 cups a day for men and about 11.5 cups a day for women. To prevent dehydration and make sure your body has the fluids it needs, make water your beverage of choice. It's a good idea to drink a glass of water with each meal and between meals, before, during and after exercise and if you feel thirsty. Know the Signs of Dehydration Dehydration may be categorized as mild, moderate, and severe. Signs of mild or moderate dehydration include thirst, dry or sticky mouth, dark urine, headache, and muscle cramps. Anyone can get dehydrated, but the odds are higher for some people, including babies and young children, older adults, those who are ill, those who are breastfeeding, and people with chronic disease. If you think your symptoms of dehydration are severe, don’t hesitate to seek help! Dehydration can contribute to  kidney stones ,  kidney failure  and  heatstroke , all life-threatening illnesses. Call 911 or go to the emergency room right away if you have symptoms of severe dehydration . Eat Foods with High Water Content While drinking water itself is especially important for staying hydrated, you can also increase your water intake with the foods you eat. There are many healthy foods that can contribute a large amount of water to your diet, including watermelon, peaches, skim milk, celery, cottage cheese, and more ! Replenish When You Sweat The American Council on Exercise recommends drinking 7 to 10 ounces of fluid every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise. Remember to always carry a water bottle with you when exercising. This will allow you to take quick and easy sips of water during your workout. Limit Your Soda and Coffee Be careful about consuming too much caffeine or soda. Both caffeine and soda contain diuretic properties and too much can contribute to dehydration. Carry Around Water Always keep a bottle of water with you. Keep an easy-to-grab water bottle with you throughout your day and make sure that it's filled with plenty of water. Make Water More Appealing If you’re not a big water drinker and can’t seem to meet your recommended daily intake, try doing something to make your water more appealing to you. Add slices of fruit like lemon, lime, or orange. Infuse your water with fresh berries, Enhance your water with fresh mint. Jazz up that water so you make a healthier drink choice that still tastes good, looks appealing and quenches your thirst. Whatever the season, drinking water and staying hydrated should be part of your daily routine. Stay safe, cool, and hydrated this summer!

Owning a home may be a lifelong goal for many Americans but that does not mean it is for everyone. After all, homeownership comes with inevitable headache and responsibility, which is why renting is a valid and appealing option for many! Here are five of the biggest benefits renting has over owning… 1. Smaller Upfront Cost The average American pays about  6% of their home’s value  for their down payment, so even on a moderately-priced home, the upfront cost of buying a home can be substantial. While there are also upfront costs to renting (security deposit, pet deposit etc.), the cost of moving into an apartment should be far less compared to what you would spend on a home purchase. 2. Access to Amenities Most modern apartments feature several amenities for their Residents to enjoy. 500 Park Avenue boasts a resort style heated outdoor swimming pool, 24-hour onsite fitness center, billiard lounge and more! To have access to the same type of amenities as a homeowner would require expensive installations or monthly membership costs. 3. Lower Maintenance Costs Owning your own home means you are responsible for all the repairs and seasonal upkeep yourself. From shoveling the snow to cleaning the gutters to changing filters, a home’s maintenance never ends. On top of standard home upkeep also comes the cost of repairs, from smaller electrical repairs all the way up to costly roof and foundation repairs. As a renter, maintenance and repairs are someone else’s responsibility! There is someone else to shovel the walk, someone else to call in the middle of the night when there is an emergency and someone else to hire the contractors. As a Resident of 500 Park Avenue apartments, you’ll enjoy 24-hour emergency maintenance, a professional on-site team ready to help, and the  confidence of renting from WPM Real Estate Management  - a well-established, award-winning management company that puts its residents first.  4. More Free Time Time is our most valuable resource, and the way that we choose to spend our hours adds up to the way that we spend our lives. Renters spend less time on household upkeep and home projects, which means more time for rest and leisure! 5. More Flexibility A lot can happen over the course of a 30-year mortgage. You might need to relocate for a job or want to be closer to an aging parent, or you might simply want a fresh start. Yet again, renting has a distinct advantage compared to owning as it offers more flexibility to the resident. If your circumstances change, and you need to move, it is much easier to get out of an apartment lease compared to a home mortgage. Let Us Help You Find Your New Home! Reap the benefits of renting for yourself! Come home to the luxury apartments at 500 Park Avenue! Call to schedule your tour today!

How to Clean Your Home After an Illness-image

While the idea of having to sanitize your entire home can be overwhelming, doing so after an illness can keep germs from spreading. Follow this guide to get your home back in shape after someone in your household has been sick. Clean and Disinfect When your household is healthy, simply wiping down surfaces with soapy water is a fine way to get rid of some germs and make things look tidy. But if someone in your home has been sick, you’ll also need to disinfect to destroy the illness-causing germs. To make sure you’ve got a product that will do the trick, look for a cleaner that specifically says “disinfectant.” You can also mix a quarter-cup of chlorine bleach with a gallon of hot water. In fact, the CDC recommends bleach to kill the stomach bug-causing norovirus on surfaces. If bleach will damage your surface , look for “phenolic solution” on the label of a concentrated disinfectant. Flu viruses can also be killed with hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners . Microwave Your Sponge Before You Start Because they’re often moist, your kitchen and bathroom sponges are perfect breeding grounds for bacteria. If someone’s sick, try cleaning with a microfiber cloth instead . If you really want to clean with a sponge, wet it and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes first . Doing so will kill 99.9% of the germs. Whether you choose a cloth or a sponge, be careful not to bring germs from one room to another on dirty cleaning tools. Use a different color for each room to keep them straight. Wear Gloves and Wash Your Hands Disposable rubber, vinyl, or latex gloves can help prevent the spread of germs while you clean while also protecting your skin from harsh products . When someone in your home is sick, toss the gloves when you're done so you don’t spread disease. Even if you’ve worn gloves the entire time you cleaned, make sure to thoroughly wash your hands when you’ve finished . Start in The Bathroom When your household is sick, your bathroom becomes even more of a germ hot spot. After a bug hits, disinfect this room with a mix of bleach and hot water. Don’t forget the toilet lever, shower faucets, cabinet handles, doorknobs, and light switches. While you’re in the bathroom, make sure to replace your toothbrushes after an illness . Disinfect The Kitchen Even when you’re healthy, the kitchen is the germiest place in your house , so it’s important to pay very special care to meal prep areas after someone in your home has been sick. Disinfect all the things you touch, like the refrigerator handle and inside drawers, coffeepot, microwave, faucets, and stove knobs. Wash dishes and utensils in 1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of hot water. If you’re the one who’s ill, don’t cook until you haven’t had any symptoms for 48 hours . Reset The Bedrooms Wash dirty clothes, soiled linens, or stuffed toys right away with nonchlorine bleach in the hottest water possible, and dry on the hottest setting. Disinfect nightstands, bedposts, and changing tables, and look for things that could be germy. Wash pacifiers and hard toys in the dishwasher . Clean The Family Room When cleaning your living room or family room after an illness, don’t forget the sneaky hot spots like remote controls, computer keypads, doorknobs, light switches etc. Steam clean rugs and upholstery at 170 F for 5 minutes or 212 F for 1 minute to kill the stomach bug norovirus. Don’t Forget the Electronics To prevent damaging your electronics, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, but don’t neglect these germy hotspots!   When a bug strikes your home, it can live on your surfaces for as days or even weeks! Following the steps above will destroy these left-behind germs and keep sickness from spreading.
