We have to agree that in the hot weather productivity ours plummets, and it’s usually not just because we’re in a vacation mood, but rather because we’re too warm, especially if we don’t have air conditioning or something to move the air in the office. Already with the arrival of warm weather, short videos with ideas on how to cool off in the heat began to circulate on the Internet, but the problem is that they look so ridiculous that hardly anyone would dare to try them. There are much better ways to cool off while at work or at home without having to waste unnecessary time getting ready and paying hundreds of leva for gadgets that won’t do any work for us.
5 ways to cool off in the heat
Don’t pull the curtains
Although it may be tempting to draw the curtains in the morning, especially when the weather is so nice outside, this is not a good idea at all if we want to keep the room we are in cooler. Instead of letting sunlight into the room, open the windows for a few minutes in the morning and evening when it’s cooler to let in some fresh air.
Freeze a water bottle
The head, wrists and feet are the areas where the body cools down the fastest, so when you feel warm, just touch the frozen bottle to the skin of one of these areas and you will be cooled in a negative time.
Reduce your coffee intake
Coffee is a drink that raises the body temperature and dehydrates the body, and this is precisely the reason why experts do not recommend it in the heat. If you still can’t start your day without a cup of warm and aromatic coffee, replace it with a cold alternative and don’t forget to drink a glass of cold water with each cup of coffee. You can even set a timer to remind you to drink water if you don’t already have the habit.
Make a draft
If the air in your office is stagnant, create a draft that will both ventilate the room and cool you down. Open a few windows or one of the doors and let the air circulate for a few minutes, but don’t overdo it because you might catch a cold.
Choose your food carefully
Yes, food is also extremely important when the weather is warm outside. We advise you to avoid foods that are very high in protein, because protein requires more energy to break down from the body, which raises the body temperature. In such cases, fruits and vegetables with high water content are great because they will keep you hydrated throughout the day.
