Ways to stay cool this Summer
- Fill a spray bottle with water and keep in the refrigerator for a quick refreshing spray to your face after being outdoor.
- Wear loose fitting , cotton clothes, preferable of a light color.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these will promote dehydration.
- Drink plenty of fluids esp. cool drinks like tender coconut water, fruit juices and butter milk.
- To avoid getting sun-burnt, always wear a good sun-tan lotion.
- Wear a cap, sunglasses or carry an umbrella while going out in the sun.
- Take frequent head bath and dry your hair immediately - this will help prevent sweaty scalp that can breed dandruff.
- Do not use commercially made ice as this is a potential carrier of diseases like jaundice and cholera.
- Opt for a cool pillow of organic cotton. Put aside the latex/poly filled pillows during summer.
- By opening the bottom of the window on the prevailing wind side of the house and opening the top of the window on the opposite side of the house, you will draw the cooler air in at the bottom and let the hotter air out at the top.
- Go for a short hair cut; for those who do not want to cut your hair, pin it up.
