Keeping cool in this heat

Hi everyone,

Hope you are keeping well in this heat, I have some tips for keeping cool,

  • Keep curtains or blinds closed to keep the sun out,
  • Washing hands & face with cool water,
  • At pharmacies they sell neck fans, ( this is a fan that goes round your neck, blows cool air on your face, though I should say it will need regular charging)
  • Keep a flannel or wet wipes in the fridge, so you can wipe face and neck, (I find it works best if you fold the wipe before wiping,)
  • Above all stay well hydrated, drink plenty of water, & avoid caffeine, because caffeine is a diuretic, (makes you urinate more, so will dehydrate you quicker).
  • Putting feet in a bowl of cool water
  • Make your own ice-lollies, using the fruit juice or yoghurt of you’re choice.
  • Watch a movie with snow in it,
  • Putting a cool towel on your back,
    I hope this helps, Feel free to add anything else to the list you think might be helpful, :+1:t2:

  • Going to supermarkets & stores that have air conditioning, can give you a respite from the heat, even if only for a while.
