For those joining us for the MG Wellness and Fitness gathering in the Saginaw, MI park tonight…stay cool! The wonderful Dr. Hafer-Macko shared that she likes the flexifreeze.com cooling vest to reduce core body temps. Looking for quick cooling ideas from items you have around the house? Throw a damp dish towel in the freezer now – you can wrap it around your neck to cool you. Bring any ice pack in a cinch sack or the MG-MI bag, and hold it close to your body. Frozen water bottles serve two purposes: holding it will cool you and you can hydrate as the water melts!
