Here are some tips to help you stay cool as you beat the summer heat:
Keep indoors cool: Keep windows, curtains, and blinds out of direct sunlight. Use a fan or air conditioner to lower the temperature in the room.
Timely ventilation: In the morning and evening, when the outdoor temperature is low, you can open the windows for ventilation, and use the natural wind to make the indoor air flow and lower the room temperature.

Drink water to stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Cold drinks and ice water can provide an instant cooling sensation, but don't drink too much to avoid taxing the digestive system.
Appropriate exercise: choose a cool time and place for exercise, and avoid strenuous exercise in the hot noon period. Stay active by choosing indoor exercises or light exercise in a shaded outdoor area.
Pay attention to clothing: choose light and light clothing with good air permeability, and avoid dark and tight clothing. Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect your head and skin from direct sunlight.
Avoid heat sources: Reduce the use of electric heaters, ovens and other electrical equipment that generate heat sources. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight in the hot outdoors.
Cooling down with cold compresses: Use cold compresses such as cold towels, ice packs, or soaking feet in ice water, and place them on the pulse points of the body or on the forehead to help reduce body temperature.
Relax: Keep a relaxed state of mind and avoid excessive anxiety and tension. Try meditation, deep breathing or listening to soothing music to help ease the discomfort of hot weather.
