Russia "set the heat" in the literal sense of this expression. All over the country, it rains, then unbearably hot days. There is a flood in Crimea, incredible heat in St. Petersburg. However, if you face the truth, in other countries the situation is more frightening. In Canada, for example, in the village of Lytton, the temperature reached 49.5 degrees Celsius. Abnormal heat, nothing to say. Moreover, this figure is an absolute record for Canada.

In connection with such news, a logical question is brewing - "How can you help yourself in such hot weather?"
Well, let's figure it out together in such "Hot" topic.

Water balance

This expression often appears in articles about heat, sports and nutrition. But why is drinking water so important?

It's that simple! Near 60% of body weight an adult is water. Water has many functions in our body. In very simple terms, water is an indicator of life.

One of the functions of water in our body is evaporation. Thanks to the evaporation of water, our body is able to regulate its temperature in order to maintain vital functions. I think the picture is already starting to slowly clear up.

In fact, our body releases an incredible amount of water per day: 800-1300ml excreted by the kidneys, 400 ml through breathing, and 600 ml comes out with sweat.

Now imagine: summer, heat, +30. We literally sweat without stopping. This is how our body tries to regulate its own temperature. You can imagine a very simple scheme.

  1. The body secretes water for thermoregulation
  2. The body is running out of water
  3. We replenish her supplies

Vicious circle.

Therefore, on such hot days drink simply necessary.

But do not forget that water in our bodies also appears due to various biochemical processes. So it's not worth drinking too hard. Always listen to your body as it is your best advisor!

Wear clothes made from natural fabrics

In hot weather, this really is a salvation. Such clothing helps the skin to "breathe", that is, returning to the previous point, sweat will evaporate more easily from your body. As a result, the body temperature is normalized, and you are already not hot!
But what kind of natural fabrics are they? After all, wool is also a natural fabric. In fact, in the heat it is worth wearing lightweight, breathable fabrics such as:

  • Cotton
  • Linen

Clothes made from such fabrics are excellent suitable for everyday life in hot weather.

Do you need a fan?

We looked at many scientific articles about fans and air conditioners and found that the opinions of scientists, as usual, differ. On the one hand, the fan simply drives the heated air available into the room. But at the same time he really can help you "ventilate" in the heat. But if the air in the room is so hot that it is impossible to breathe, the fan can only harm.

The air conditioner, in turn, cools the air. The main danger is that in extreme heat you can go too far with cooling and, at best, wake up in the morning with a runny nose.
Of course, you do not need to endure the scorching heat in your apartment. The main thing is to cool the room in moderation..

Life hack:if the apartment has "abnormal heat", and there was only enough money for a fan, put it in the freezer a bottle of water. When it is frozen, place it under a fan. Voila! The air conditioner for your hot apartment is ready.

Airing

The point is quite simple and trivial, but we could not ignore it. We are sure you already knew it, but we want to remind you once again - it is necessary to ventilate when the temperature outside is lower than the temperature in the room. And do not tempt fate! Opening the windows at one o'clock in the afternoon, when it is the hottest outside, you only warm up the air in the room. Therefore, on a hot day, transfer airing to the evening or early morning.

Shower is the head of everything!

In our current realities, it is difficult even to get to the river without masks and gloves. And what about hot summer days? Naturally, many begin to wash more often. The method is really working, but you don't need to be zealous either. If you decide to wash in the afternoon, not worth itrub your skin strongly with soap and washcloths. These products dry out your skin, which can lead to a couple of skin infections later on on a hot day. Enough just wash off the sweat and slightly refresh your skin. This will help your body regulate body temperature.

Notes (edit)

We wanted to touch upon this topic in the very first paragraph, but decided to discuss this issue with you separately.
"Does cold water help in such an abnormal heat?"
We are talking about both a bottle of mineral water straight from the freezer and a refreshing shower.
Here, as usual, you need not to overdo it. On a hot day, your body is already heated to the limit. Filling yourself with cold water or drinking a drink with ice in one gulp will create a sharp temperature drop. As a result, your body may not stand it, and you will wake up with a sore throat.

We wish you not to fry and "hold out" until winter whole, healthy and happy!
