In this article, I will share some personal experiences and methods, hoping to help everyone live more comfortably in hot and humid days.
Diet regulation:
First of all, I will pay attention to a light diet. In hot and humid weather, the body is prone to produce a lot of sweat to cool down, so I will avoid eating too greasy and spicy food to avoid aggravating the body's heat.
I will choose light vegetables, fruits and clear soup to keep my balance.
I will eat it several times and control the amount and time. Eating more than a few times can help the body digest food better, reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and thus reduce heat production in the body. I will avoid overeating, but choose the right amount of food to keep the energy balance in my body.
Water intake must be increased. In hot and humid weather, the human body easily loses a lot of water through sweating, so it is very important to maintain adequate water intake for maintaining body fluid balance.
I will often drink water, herbal tea and drinks, and take in fruits rich in water, such as watermelon and oranges.
I will also pay attention to replenishing electrolytes. With sweating, the body will not only lose water, but also lose electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, so I will choose foods rich in electrolytes, such as coconut water and bananas, to maintain electrolyte balance and avoid the shortage of water and electrolytes.
Appropriate dress:
I will choose clothes with good air permeability (Li Ning sportswear). Sweating is inevitable in hot and humid climate, and clothes with good air permeability can help sweat evaporate quickly, thus lowering body temperature and reducing discomfort.
I will choose cotton, hemp and other fabrics with good air permeability, and avoid choosing plastic or airtight clothes, so as not to hinder sweat evaporation.
Choose loose clothes. Tight clothing tends to block air circulation, causing water retention, thus increasing sweating and discomfort. I will choose loose T-shirts and shorts to keep the air circulating and reduce the accumulation of moisture.
Choosing light-colored clothes is also a good choice. Light-colored clothes absorb less sunlight and heat, and can keep a cool body feeling. In summer, I will choose white and light-colored clothes to lower my body temperature and avoid excessive heat absorption.
When choosing shoes, I will choose shoes with good air permeability (Li Ning Ultra Light 19).
Hot and humid weather can easily lead to sweating on your feet. If you choose airtight shoes, it is easy to cause moisture retention on your feet and increase the risk of foot infection. I will choose breathable sneakers and sandals to keep my feet dry and comfortable.
I once had an experience about dressing, which made me more aware of the importance of dressing appropriately in hot and humid weather.
Once, I wore an airtight synthetic fiber dress in hot and humid summer. Results After sweating, clothes clung to my body, which not only made me feel uncomfortable, but also easily caused skin discomfort and itching.
Since then, I have paid more attention to choosing breathable and loose clothes to avoid problems caused by improper wearing.
Avoid excessive activity:
Through reasonable arrangement of daily activities, I can better maintain a comfortable body temperature and avoid discomfort and health problems caused by excessive activities. I usually choose to do activities when it is cool.
In hot and humid weather, noon is usually the hottest time, and the temperature in the morning and evening is more suitable. I will choose outdoor activities during these periods to avoid excessive sweating during high temperature periods and reduce body temperature fluctuations.
We must properly control the intensity and time of exercise. In hot and humid weather, too intense exercise can easily lead to a lot of sweating and increase the production of heat in the body.
I will choose moderate exercise, such as walking in the morning, relaxing yoga, and avoiding excessive physical exertion and excessive sweating.
In hot and humid weather, the indoor environment is usually cooler. Compared with outdoor exercise, indoor exercise can avoid exposure to high temperature and reduce sweating and body temperature rise. I will choose to do indoor exercise in the gym to keep my body temperature stable.
Once, I chose to do high-intensity outdoor sports at noon. As a result, due to the high temperature and humidity, I sweated too much, which led to a rise in body temperature and dizziness.
From that experience, I paid more attention to choosing moderate exercise intensity and time to avoid the discomfort caused by excessive activity.
Indoor environment adjustment:
In this climate, I have created a comfortable living environment by reasonably adjusting the indoor environment, effectively avoiding problems such as excessive sweating and physical discomfort.
In order to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, I will keep indoor ventilation. Opening windows frequently can introduce fresh air into the room and promote indoor air circulation.
This helps to reduce the accumulation of moisture and indoor humidity, thus effectively reducing the somatosensory temperature and avoiding excessive sweating.
At the same time, I will use a dehumidifier to control the indoor humidity. In hot and humid climate, indoor humidity is often high, which is easy to cause physical discomfort and excessive sweating.
When necessary, I will turn on the dehumidifier to remove the moisture in the air and keep the room dry. This way can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by hot and humid weather and make my family and I better adapt to the environment.
I will also adjust the indoor temperature reasonably. In hot and humid weather, I will try to set the temperature of the air conditioner in a comfortable range so as not to make the room too cold or too hot.
Such temperature adjustment can avoid drastic changes in body temperature and reduce sweating. I will always check the indoor temperature and adjust it as needed to ensure comfort and avoid sweating too much.
Once, I stayed indoors for a long time. Because I didn't ventilate and adjust the temperature in time, the room became stuffy, and I felt uncomfortable and sweated.
Later, I made the room comfortable and dry by adjusting the indoor environment, and my body felt much better. This experience made me more aware that the indoor environment has an important influence on the regulation of body temperature.
Beibei has something to say:
It really needs some extra attention and efforts to regulate body temperature and avoid excessive sweating in hot and humid weather.
But as long as we pay attention to diet, clothing, activities and indoor environment, we can better adapt to this climate and live a more comfortable life.
I hope these methods can help everyone and let us spend a cool and pleasant summer together.
