Keeping yourself cool in a hot day of summer can be quite difficult. Especially in summer 2008 when temperatures seem to be ever increasing. This is why you should keep in mind some simple tricks which can make your life much easier.
We've all seen just how hot it can get in mid summer days, so instead of turning the air conditioner to the max, here are some ideas easier and cheaper to implement.
-
Drink plenty of water
You can either drink water directly or you can drink juices (both fruit and vegetable) and sport drinks. A valuable source of water is eating fruits. They can also help you to hydrate your skin and provide a good sunscreen protection.
-
Eat small meals
Eating smaller meals more often can help you lower the heat of your organism and also improve digestion.
-
Wear light clothes
Clothes are very important to maintain a lower body temperature. In summer 2008, wear light coloured, loosely-woven clothes. One of the best materials to wear is cotton for its absorbing properties, keeping your body cool and dry.
If you still have heat problems dampen a towel in cool water and wrap it around your neck or other areas that you feel hot. You can also put ice inside the towel to make it last longer.
