This summer, uh, is scorching, passing down the heat straight into our head. The sun is so furious that it can even lead to heat stroke. When there is dramatic increase in body temperature, it can result in heat stroke too and dehydrate your body. As there are drastic weather pattern changes, incorporating diet changes and consuming the required amount of liquid along with sun protection is highly important. Here we have some useful tips to cool down your body in this summer so that you can keep yourself safe and prevent heat stroke.
Drink enough water – the first and foremost focus should be consuming enough water. One requires at least 2 litres of water in a day. Take a water bottle with you while heading out. Have enough coconut water, vegetable or fruit juice during midday time.
Fresh fruits will help – one of the easiest ways to keep your body cooled down is consuming fresh fruits and veggies. Quickly make healthy salads with fruits or vegetables that are rich in water content. This will increase thirst. While traveling outdoors, take a box full of grapes. Chew them whenever you feel hungry.
No drinks during weekend – your body will easily get dehydrated when you drink alcohol or soda, and you will be prone to heat strokes too. Avoid consuming alcohol and switch to other cool beverages.
Chilling cold water bath – you can increase your body’s blood flow by taking cold water bath. It also cools your body after long outdoor hours you have spent. During summer, we get a nauseous feeling. You can avoid this with cold water bath. Skin rashes and outbreaks can also be prevented by taking bath twice a day.
Breezy, light clothes – generally, light colored clothes reflect heat and dark colored show the reverse effect. So, go with cotton and linen fabrics that make you cool and comfy. Do not use synthetic fabrics. Tell a strict no to tight clothes that hinders air circulation.
Stay indoors – the time between 12 noon and 3 pm are bone-dry hours of the day. So, relax and stay indoors and try to be under shade. When you head out at these hours, all the energy stored in your body gets sucked out in no time. Say no to intensive outdoor works during these hours.
Watch out your body – do you experience throbbing headache or nausea or palpitations or vomit? You perhaps have heatstroke. If you experience any of these, rush out to a cool place and hydrate your body with water or juice. Cool down your body and approach a medical practitioner at the earliest. When not treated properly, hyperthermia may turn fatal.
