Oftentimes, the changing of seasons may evoke feelings of sadness and anxiety. As the sun sets earlier in the day and the temperatures cool down, many people tend to start spending more time inside and not getting as much natural vitamin D as they should.

Football season has returned to Mississippi! This season brings watch parties, tailgating, and cooler weather (eventually). A great pot of chili is a welcome addition to all three.

Walking hand-in-hand with the heat is its best friend called humidity, making the air muggy and almost viscous enough to reach up into the atmosphere and grab.

Here are five tips that’ll help you stay safe while being in the heat this summer.
