10 Summer Myths Rebuked


At SoBellas we are very much in tune with the seasons. We strive to provide our customers with the best service to keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

In order to ensure that there heating and cooling units are working to optimal levels we make sure to maintain them with our customer care club.  

One of the things that we have noticed is that each season has its myths. We have decided to search the web for the 20 biggest myths about summer.    


  1. Your ceiling fan will keep your home cool -This is a big myth. In fact ceiling fans do not actually cool the air. There job is to make the wind go faster. 
  2. Lighting comes from the skies - This is partially true. In fact lightning come from the ground and sky. 
  3. This heat is going to give me a heat stroke - It is possible but if you are healthy the chances of this happening are low.
  4. If you get in your swimming pool after a meal you will get sick- We researched this and there is no definite proof of illness but beware of cramps. 
  5. The cold will not get you sick - Cold air alone will not get you sick however it can lower your immune system.
  6. Not all drinks will hydrate you- When we get hot some of us go for a sugary drink however this will dehydrate you.
  7. A cloudy day means you can ditch the sun screen- This is a myth with dangerous consequences. Sun rays are still dangerous.              
  8. I went swimming so I do not need to shower- Pools are known for having a lot of chlorine but they are still full of bacteria. 
  9. Working out at the hottest temperatures does not burn more fat - In fact you may be cutting your workouts short as you will tire quicker. 
  10. If you cut yourself on the beach the salt water will heal you faster- So false! the water contains bacteria which will make it worse.
