8 COOL TIPS TO STAY
FRESH IN HOT WEATHER.

1. LESS ICE-CREAM, MORE SPICE!
ITS INITIAL COOLING EFFECT IS
RAPIDLY REPLACED BY HEAT...
BY DIGESTIVE PROCESSES BREAKING DOWN THE HIGH-CALORIE NUTRIENTS.

INSTEAD… DRINK SMALL AMOUNTS OF WARM BEVERAGES, OR EAT HOT SPICY FOOD.

2. WEAR LOOSE, LONG-SLEEVED CLOTHES
DIRECT SUNLIGHT HEATS BLOOD VESSELS IN THE SKIN,
SENDING HEAT INWARDS AND RAISING YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE.

3. AVOID COLD SHOWERS
THEY HELP CONSERVE BODY HEAT BY CAUSING BLOOD VESSELS IN THE SKIN TO CONSTRICT…NOT LETTING THE HEAT TO RADIATE OUT.

4. COOL HANDS, FACE AND FEET
THE SKIN IN THESE AREAS CONTAINS A NETWORK OF BLOOD VESSELS DEVOTED TO RAPID TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT.

KEEP THEM FRESH, AND YOUR BODY WILL COOL DOWN.

5. SEEK GREEN SPACES
TREES AND PLANTS ABSORB WATER THROUGH THEIR ROOTS AND…
EMIT IT THROUGH THEIR LEAVES…
COOLING DOWN THE AREA.

6. CURTAINS AND WINDOWS CLOSED DURING THE DAY!
KEEP THEM CLOSED TO AVOID MAKING YOUR HOME A GREENHOUSE…
BUT OPEN THEM BACK IN THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT TO COOL YOUR PLACE.

7. STAY HYDRATED!
A BIG REASON HEATWAVES ARE SO DEADLY IS DEHYDRATION.
THE KEY:
TO DRINK REGULARLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AVOIDING CAFFEINE AND ALCOHOL.

8. AVOID SUNBURN
MAKE USE OF SHADE WHEN THE UV INDEX IS AT ITS HIGHEST (11AM-3PM), …COVERING YOUR SKIN WITH CLOTHES AND SPF!
(DON’T FORGET TO REAPPLY)
