No matter how much you love summer, the season can get really hot. Most stores, cafés, and even some buses have air-conditioning, but without the AC the heat can feel unbearable at times. Overheating can be quite dangerous, so if you don’t possess such a technological luxury, here are some ways to keep yourself cool.
Cold Food and Drink
Yes, this is your excuse to eat ice cream! Cool down from the inside out by having food on the cooler side. Put grapes, berries, and other fruit in the freezer, and be sure to keep hydrated.
Cold Compress
When trying to break a fever, parents will put a cold, wet cloth on their child’s forehead. The same theory applies here. Place a wet cloth on your face or grab some frozen peas out of the refrigerator. If going the frozen food route, wrap it in a towel beforehand as freezer burn is a real thing.
Light Fabrics
You know that feeling of being so hot that you just want to rip off your clothes?! It may be possible to do in the privacy of your own home, but while out and about, stick to breathable fabrics like cotton and linen.
