Beat the Heat in 5 Simple Steps Dubai is amongst the worst hit when it comes to summers, and the hotter the weather gets, the more you seek resort at home. Given below are 5 awesome things you can do to beat the heat and stay cool. Read on. I know you are thinking I’d say turn on the air conditioner and give it away as the first reason, but no, I will not be doing that. Air conditioning is pleasant, but it keeps the air inside heavy and humid. Besides, it is not the most eco-friendly option either. So, here goes. 1. Go swimming: If you have access to a pool or a beach, indulge yourself to a fun day in the water. Make sure you have oodles of sun tan lotion on you before you step in. It is an ideal way to cool down during the hot, scorching days. However, make sure you are not in it for long as while you feel nice and cool you will be getting more sun exposure than you realize. If it doesn’t work for you throw a pool party. You could grill some burgers, hot dogs, etc and help unwind yourself. 2. Eat and drink healthy: Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water as you are going to be losing a lot of water through sweating when the temperatures go up. Break the habit of popping aerated water as and when you are thirsty. Also, cut down on caffeine. Additionally, spread your meals out and eat a smaller amount, but more often. It is believed if you eat too much, and go out in the hot sun, there are high chances of falling sick. 3. Take good care of yourself: A vital tip is to avoid going out or exercising during the hottest time of day, which is typically midday. Also, make it a habit of applying moisturisers as often as possible.
4. Wear and use light clothing and linen: When you wear something light (cotton) it takes in air effortlessly. It helps you keep cool and reflects the sun away. Similarly, change your bed linens to lighter fabrics. What's more, vivid colours make you feel good when you are relaxing. 5. Surf the TV or watch movies: Summertime is the ideal time when the family can stay home and catch up on some missed TV shows. If TV doesn’t excite you, go for movies. There are sure to be loads of them! Here’s hoping that you have found some form of paradise at home this season, and made your summers cooler in more ways than just letting the air conditioner work 24*7!
