How to exercise in summer?
1. Don't be greedy.
Because it is hot in summer, many people may unconsciously want to eat some cold food, such as cold drinks, cold water, iced watermelons and so on. In addition to this time, people also like to stay in air-conditioned rooms or wear navel-revealing clothes when going out. Open-backed clothes look cool.
These methods may really cool us down, but in the long run, it is likely that cold air from outside will enter the body, causing certain harm to the body and excessive humidity. Therefore, in the hot summer, if you want to stay healthy, you must be careful not to be greedy.
2. Pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling.
