Not a single summer in Belarus passes without at least a couple of weeks of heat, bringing sleepless nights, heat strokes and sunburn. Therefore, it is important to know how it is easier to endure high temperatures. In the tips below, life experience is combined with science, which makes them almost trouble-free.

Cooling ourselves down

The human body changes temperature in two ways: either by heating up in different ways, or by cooling and giving off heat to the environment.

Our main task in the heat is to warm up to a minimum and give maximum heat. In addition to light-colored clothing, drinking plenty of water, and cold baths, there are many other, much less obvious, ways to escape the heat.

Eat less high-calorie and heavy food: the longer the food is digested, the more heat the body produces. The same harmful effect in the heat is given by energy and metabolic stimulants, which include coffee. Moving (and therefore warming up) in the heat also costs less.

Let's move on to the second part of the plan - to "distribute" as much heat as possible. Heat is transferred from hot to cold, and as soon as the temperature of the surrounding air exceeds your body temperature, you will begin to heat up. At the same time, the average temperature of the skin surface is not at all 36.6 ° C, but 32-34 degrees. So the critical temperature, after which you are no longer able to cool down on your own, can be considered a heat of 32 ° C.

At this temperature, only two ways remain for cooling: evaporation and contact with objects colder than the body. That is why sweat, one of the main irritants in the heat, is also the main savior of the body from overheating.

Water, evaporating from the surface of the skin, cools it, so it is better not to wipe the sweat. It is also useful to wipe yourself with water, wrap yourself in a wet cloth and wear wet clothes (be careful not to sit in a draft). Wet hair cools the head well.

To cool from the inside, provide cold access to the blood vessels where they are close to the surface of the skin: on the neck, wrists, ankles. For example, by dipping your feet in a basin of cold water, you will gradually cool your whole body through blood circulation.

And, contrary to stereotypes, in the heat it is better to drink not ice water, but hot tea. The heat of the tea will cause the body to start the "active mode" of the cooling system and increase sweating. In addition, you will not waste energy on heating cold water in the stomach.

Unlike heavy meals, you can indulge in spicy dishes: like tea, they stimulate sweating, supporting the fight against heat, and also trigger the production of endorphins to make the fight more fun.

Cooling the air

Intense heat will help to transfer not only the air conditioner, but also a conventional fan. To really cool a room, freeze a few bottles of water and then place ice right in front of a fan. A stream of life-giving cold will be provided for at least an hour.

To make it easier to breathe indoors in the heat, humidify the air. The easiest way is to arrange open dishes with water in the room. You can also hang wet towels everywhere and renew them as the water evaporates. But it is better to open the windows for ventilation only at night, and keep them closed and curtained during the day - it will be cooler in the room.

If sitting during the day with the windows closed is not an option, then open two windows at different ends of the room and direct the fan not towards you, but out the window: it will distill the air and lower the temperature. It makes sense to close the windows on the south side of the house with white paper or cloth: direct sunlight will not enter the room and raise the temperature less.

As far as possible, reduce the use of electrical appliances: even the TV heats the air to a minimum, not to mention incandescent lamps and computers. Therefore, it makes sense to turn off the hot coil in the bathroom if you are not using it.

For those who were lucky enough to spend hot days and nights next to the air conditioner, we remind you: in order not to harm your health, the difference between room temperature and that set on the air conditioner should not exceed 5-7 degrees. Even if during the day in the office there is a "bath" at 30 ° C and there is a great temptation to turn on "full cold" - it is better to set it to about 20-25 ° C, but not to catch a cold.

We cool the water

Not everyone is ready to drink tea and sweat, and it is difficult to deny yourself soft drinks in the heat. A bottle of water bought at a kiosk will need to stand for at least half an hour in the freezer to become ice-cold, and much more time in a regular refrigerator.

The problem is that both there and there a bottle of water or a can of drink directly comes into contact only with cold air, which has a very low thermal conductivity, which means that it exchanges temperature with the can more slowly.

But water has excellent thermal conductivity. In order to lower the temperature of the drink in a jar from 20-25 ° C to 5-10 ° C in a few minutes, leave it in a container filled with salt water with ice. So ice with the help of water will exchange temperature with the jar much faster, and salt will lower the freezing point of water below zero.

If it is not possible to arrange such experiments, you can do it easier: wrap a bottle or jar with a wet paper towel (cloth, napkin) and leave it in the refrigerator or freezer for 10-15 minutes. The temperature will drop almost as quickly as in the previous example, again thanks to the water.

If you don’t have a refrigerator at work, get a little less than half a bottle of water at home and leave it to freeze in the freezer on its side, and in the morning add water and take it with you. The ice in the bottle will cool the liquid for several hours.

Facilitate sleep

Sleep as low as possible: the coolest air accumulates closer to the floor. To cool bedding, put it in tight bags in the freezer and take it out right before going to bed, then the pleasant coolness is just enough to fall asleep.

A wet sheet instead of a blanket can also help cool the skin with evaporation. And if you are too lazy to make your bed anew every evening, just leave bottles or a heating pad with ice under the covers (most importantly, do not forget to take it out and warn the household).

It's the hottest time of the year. Asphalt in cities traditionally melts from the heat, megacities slowly melt under the scorching heat, and its unfortunate inhabitants must not only survive in this hell, but also continue to work, take care of themselves and their loved ones and keep the bar of success.

If you, like thousands of other people, feel unwell on hot days, then these tips from a Chinese medicine doctor will help you cope with the malaise.

It is known that human emotional reactions affect the functioning of internal organs. Heat in Chinese medicine is considered not only as a phenomenon of the external environment, but can also be an internal factor. Internal heat negatively affects primarily, it is precisely this that suffers at high temperatures.

If at the same time a person experiences emotional overload, then the cardiovascular system is at even higher risk.

Increased internal heat, combined with external heat, gives palpitations, changes in blood pressure, headache, weakness. How to determine the intensity of internal heat?

Examine the tongue in front of the mirror, the heart zone is localized at its tip. If the tip has a bright red surface or there are red dots on it, this indicates the presence of "heat in the heart."

The balance can be restored through nutrition, drinks, proper exercise and therapeutic methods.

Eat foods from the "cool" and "cold" groups

According to the classification of Chinese medicine, all foods are divided into five groups - hot, warm, neutral, cool and cold.

Naturally, in the heat, you need to reduce the consumption of hot nature products (meat - lamb, lamb, ham, salami, active seasonings, spices - hot pepper, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, curry), which shift energy processes towards heat.

It is best to balance the condition with cold and cool foods: wheat, wheat germ, barley, millet, wild rice, duck, goose, hare, rabbit, fish, squid, oyster, Chinese and cauliflower, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers , tomatoes, asparagus, radish, watercress, artichoke, avocado, rhubarb, celery, spinach, soy, tofu, soy milk and sauce, sunflower, sesame, olive oil, beans, peas, cashews, saffron, mushrooms, yogurt, banana , persimmon, kiwi, lime, tangerine, lemon, orange, grapefruit, gooseberry, apple, blueberry, blackberry, currant, watermelon, melon, mango, pear, mint, pineapple, quince, raspberry, strawberry. It is especially important to consider this classification for people who have "internal heat".

The temperature of the food also matters: the dish you take out of the fridge certainly has a cooling effect.

Drink small portions throughout the day

In the heat, sweating becomes more intense, and it is necessary to replenish the amount of fluid, because all biochemical processes in the human body occur in the aquatic environment.

If it is usually considered that it is enough to drink one and a half to two liters of water during the day, then in hot weather the need may increase. The simplest indicator of a lack of fluid in the body is a change in the color of urine. Normally, it should have a light straw color and becomes darker, the more the body needs water.

Thus, it is possible to individually adjust the amount of fluid you drink, focusing not on some general norms, but primarily on an individual need, which depends on age, gender, metabolic characteristics, and physical activity.

Those who stay in the heat for a long time and sweat intensely should introduce mineral water into their diet to compensate for the leaching of minerals and trace elements.

Carry a bottle of water with you throughout the day and drink regularly, in small doses. But after 7 pm you should not drink too much to.

Another very important question: what kind of water to drink? If you have a choice between spring water, tap water, and bottled water, bottled water is the smartest choice.

Rather - from a large dense bottle. Please note: bottles made of thin plastic, on which white creases easily appear, release substances into the water that are similar in effect to female sex hormones and can negatively affect the cycle. Therefore, choose water in bottles with thick walls that do not have kinks, it is better to use glass containers.

If you drink water from a country well or spring, it makes sense to take the water for analysis and find out its composition.

The best choice is cold drinks. Hot tea in summer will increase perspiration and thus cool the surface of the body by increasing evaporation. Very cold drinks can trigger a sore throat.

From European doctors, you can sometimes hear the following recommendation: if you often have swelling in hot weather, you need to drink less

From the point of view of a doctor who takes a synergistic approach to, such advice seems strange. First of all, it is necessary to find out why water is retained in the body and edema occurs - it can be in the condition of the veins of the lower leg, liver, kidneys, in the work of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, in the imbalance of minerals and trace elements.

It is clear that if the fluid is not excreted, then an imbalance has occurred in the body. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, it is often necessary to observe the retention of fluids in the body as a result of the "spleen deficiency" syndrome. The syndrome develops as a result of intellectual and physical overwork, excessive anxiety and worry, as well as the predominance of "mucus-forming" foods in the diet.

Diet correction, herbal preparations, acupuncture can eliminate the "spleen deficiency" syndrome, reduce or completely eliminate excessive swelling.

Don't give up physical activity

But make normal mode reasonable restrictions. Although naturally, when we run, the surface cools down if a person has normal thermoregulation. It is necessary to make adjustments to the usual mode of physical activity.

Not under the scorching sun, indoors, morning or evening.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature

If from the heat you find yourself in a room where the temperature is maintained at 18-19 degrees, you can get the so-called "cold blow". In the heat, the pores open and our body becomes more susceptible to various pathogenic factors.

The risk of developing diseases of the upper respiratory tract increases, because the Qi energy of the lungs protects the body from natural pathogenic factors. And if the cold penetrates first into the skin, then into the muscles, then due to the temperature difference, inflammation of the muscles (myositis) may occur. So avoid direct cold airflow from cooling systems.

Train your brain vessels to improve your well-being in hot weather

The simplest thing to do is the usual lifts and bends. Try to gently bend over and rise several times in the morning. These simple exercises will help train blood vessels, improve blood circulation in the brain.

In addition, to stabilize the work of the autonomic nervous system, it is worth doing exercises to balance the cerebral hemispheres. For example, try alternate nostril breathing from yoga practice, do tree poses.

Give exercise for 7 minutes a day - and it will be easier to endure not only the heat, but also any changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure.

What drinks and how much do you need to drink at work in order to easily endure the heat.

Hot weather brings with it its own problems, one of which is what and how much to drink in the heat?

In general, our body generates heat continuously, and when its temperature exceeds a certain threshold, the mechanisms that protect against overheating are activated, and we begin to sweat.

The fluid secreted by the sweat glands consists mainly of water, some organic compounds and mineral salts. Therefore, if we stay in the sun for a long time, we should drink as much liquid as possible to make up for its damage in the body.

“Most of us drink only a third of the required amount of water,” says Galina Kholmogorova, a leading researcher at the State Research Center for Preventive Medicine. “The minimum required to maintain a normal water balance in the body is 1.5 liters at an average air temperature of 21 degrees, 1, 9 liters at 26 degrees and 3 liters at 32 degrees.

These liters include water, juices, soups, the latent liquid of fruits and vegetables. Water not only enters our body from the outside, but is also formed during the digestion of food. 100 g of fats, for example, give 107 g of water upon oxidation, 100 g of carbohydrates or proteins - 35 and 41 g, respectively.

In principle, the drinking regimen is determined by age, health status, nutrition, the severity of the work performed, and the ambient temperature. For example, when working in hot shops, up to 4 liters of water per hour can be released with sweat, so that the loss must be replenished with an appropriate amount of liquid.

Even without hard work, a person's water consumption is quite high: about 1.5 liters are excreted in the urine, up to 1 liter or more when evaporated through the skin, about 300 ml - with breathing and about 200 ml - with feces. As a result, about 3 liters.

However, forcing yourself to drink when you don’t feel like it is not worth it: an excessive amount of water increases the load on all organs, especially the kidneys and heart. In addition, the more you drink, the more sweating, the more you want to drink - it turns out a vicious circle. Salts washed out with sweat violate the usual content of microelements in the body, which can lead to weakness, dizziness, and palpitations.
It is necessary to limit yourself in drinking during pregnancy, hypertension, heart failure, and impaired renal function.

Too chilled liquids will not make up for the lack of moisture. They stay longer in the stomach, and the mineral salts contained in them do not enter the cells of the body for a long time. In addition, cold liquids excite the sweat glands. It is best to drink liquid at room temperature. Hot green tea without sugar is the best thirst quencher. You can replace it with a mint drink, non-carbonated mineral water, black tea, kvass, homemade dried fruit compotes or fruit drinks. Natural unsweetened juices (apple, orange, grapefruit) are good. Lemon juice, diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10, restores the electrolytic balance of our body and inhibits excessive sweating. It can be drunk instead of mineral water at 2.5 liters per day and, thanks to vitamin C, it will reduce such effects of heat as fatigue, headache, lethargy. From sweet soda in the heat will have to give up. It will not quench your thirst because it contains sugar. So, you will drink a liter or two of it, thus getting a bunch of unnecessary calories, which will then be deposited in excess fat. You should not get carried away with drinks containing caffeine - it, like alcohol, accelerates dehydration. The only thing you can afford from alcoholic beverages is dry white or red wine, diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 3, with an ice cube. And finally, if you cannot live without beer, then it is advisable to drink only light - not stronger than 4.5 degrees. Just keep in mind that it will take you much faster than in normal weather. If, for some reason related to chronic diseases, you must limit the flow of fluids into the body, it is good to always have a spray with ordinary water on hand and rinse your mouth from time to time, spray on the elbows, knees, and wrists.

We are waiting for warm sunny days for long autumn-winter-spring months, and when the long-awaited summer finally comes, we begin to complain about the mercilessly scorching sun and hot air...

We are waiting for warm sunny days for long autumn-winter-spring months, and when the long-awaited summer finally comes, we begin to complain about the mercilessly scorching sun and hot air ...

Why is it hard for us to endure hot weather?

When the air temperature rises above body temperature - 36.6 C, the body, in order to cool down, turns on the "air conditioner" - the thermoregulation system (therefore sweating occurs). If the body does not have enough fluid, it will begin to “overheat”, and the person will feel weakness, weakness, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, and increased heart rate. The hardest thing is for people with a weak heart, diseased kidneys, lungs (primarily with bronchial asthma) and vegetative-vascular dystonia - our "air conditioner" is junk with these problems.

In addition to the high temperature, one more trouble aggravates the state of health - the so-called weather hypoxia, i.e. lack of oxygen in the air, which is often observed in hot weather. Due to the constant lack of air, even young and healthy people can feel unwell.

What to do to make it easier to transfer the heat?

Dress properly. For hot days, it is better to choose light, loose-fitting clothes made from natural fabrics - silk, linen or cotton. Preference should be given to light-colored clothing - it “attracts” sunlight less. If you know that you will be in the sun for a long time, take care of a hat that will protect you from overheating.

Quench your thirst properly. Thirst must be quenched - after all, the body in hot weather especially needs fluid intake. Therefore, in the heat you need to drink as much as you want. It can be mineral water, juices (especially apple, orange, grapefruit, without sugar), compotes, fruit drinks, tea (both cold and hot). You should not get carried away with sweet soda or milk - they not only do not quench your thirst, but excite it even more. Coffee dehydrates the body, so it is better to do without it. Alcoholic drinks, like coffee, dehydrate, plus cause a rush of heat, and the stronger the drink, the stronger this feeling, so they should also be excluded. Make sure that a bottle of cool water is always at hand so that thirst does not take you by surprise, for example, in a traffic jam in the middle of nowhere.

Eat right. On a hot day, if possible, eliminate heavy fatty foods from your diet. As an option, grilled dishes are perfect - they are not fried in oil, and the taste is wonderful, besides, shish kebab is a traditional summer food. Salty is useless, because salt will make you want to drink even more. Eat more fruits, vegetables and berries, especially since in the summer there are a lot of both. A wonderful dish for summer weather - okroshka - is prepared quickly and satisfies not only hunger, but also thirst. Another wonderful option is green cabbage soup with sorrel.

Cool down properly. In order not to fall down with the temperature in the middle of summer, you should not pounce on ice-cold drinks, turn on the air conditioner at full power, or roll down all the windows in the car at full speed at once. Such a bust can easily turn into a sore throat or pneumonia. Therefore, it is important that the body is cooled in moderation. For example, the temperature of the air produced by the air conditioner should be at least 18-20 degrees.

Take good care of yourself. Elementary observance of the rules of personal hygiene in the heat is especially important. A cool shower or a simple wash with cold water will help you quickly relieve fatigue and tone up. It is better to move sports activities to the early morning or late evening when the heat subsides. Pay special attention to your legs. On hot days, they often swell, swell, become "cast iron". At the end of the day, when fatigue is especially felt, it would be good to immerse your feet in a bowl of sea salt and mint for 15-20 minutes. In unbearable heat, it is better to spare yourself and give up too high heels and tight straps. As for cosmetics, it is necessary to reduce its amount, in particular, to abandon foundation creams - the skin is already not easy in the heat. Have pity on yourself and others - do not use perfume with strong odors - they are not an option for the heat. It is great if you always have refreshing wet wipes with you.

In his struggle for survival, a person always faces a lot of problems. And one of them is how to keep warm in winter and how not to overheat in summer. The onset of heat always affects our health. Hot weather is exhausting, efficiency drops, appetite worsens, heart disease makes itself felt, and general discomfort does not add energy. In about a week, the body can adapt to new temperature conditions, but even in this case, no one is guaranteed from disrupting this adaptation.
In countries where heat is a common phenomenon, people have a wealth of experience on how to endure it with minimal losses. We will try to systematize this experience in order to protect ourselves in conditions of even a very hot summer. There are a few simple rules, the observance of which will make it easier to survive the heat.

Survival rules when it's +30°C outside

• The best solution is air conditioning. In rooms where it is, the question of overheating is not worth it. However, you should not get carried away with its capabilities and set it to the minimum temperature. After all, a sharp change in temperature is also a burden on an already exhausted body. Where there is no air conditioning, it is advisable to use a fan. It will ensure the movement of air and improve the heat transfer of the body. In the absence of a fan, a slight draft can be created in the room.
• If possible, it is good to be near natural reservoirs or fountains, where you can always wash yourself with cool water or swim. People suffering from cardiovascular diseases should avoid contrast cooling, because. this can cause vasospasm and provoke an attack of angina pectoris.
• Long transitions in hot weather are recommended to be carried out in cooler hours of the day in light porous clothing, stop more often and rest in shady ventilated places.
• Try to find a place in the shade. You should be especially careful in the sun at noon, when the temperature is at its highest.
• It is advisable to have an umbrella or a fan with you.
• Minimize physical activity.
• Clothing should be light-colored (light-colored clothing reflects rather than absorbs heat), light and airy (for good ventilation). Also, clothes must be clean, because. in sweated salt clogs between the fibers of the fabric and the body will not breathe. The fabric must be natural. If possible, do not use ties and tight belts, refuse collars squeezing the throat.
• A light, light, wide-brimmed, neck-covering hat protects well from overheating. The fact is that in the area of ​​the head and neck close to the surface of the skin there are many blood vessels, due to the heating of which the whole body can overheat.

What is the best way to quench your thirst
In hot weather, it is extremely important to maintain a normal water content in the body. The basic principles of the drinking regime are as follows:

• In hot weather, the body needs 1.5-2 times more fluid than in the cold season. So at an average air temperature of + 21 ° C, you need to consume about 1.5 liters of fluid per day, and at a temperature of + 32 ° C - about 3 liters.
• Drinks should be cool, but not icy, because. cold drinks begin to be absorbed only when they warm up to body temperature.
• The best choice for summer drinks is chilled green and white tea, teas based on mint and hibiscus flowers, mineral water, kvass, kefir, ayran, fruit jelly, rosehip infusion and dried fruit decoction, water with lemon.
• Drinks are better to choose a little sour.
• All drinks should be unsweetened or only lightly sweetened.
• In hot weather, juices and fresh juices are best drunk diluted.
• Dairy products should be low-fat (1-1.5%).
• Perfectly cool watermelon and cucumber. You can make juice from them.
• With intense sweating, to restore the water-salt balance, drink lightly salted water (5 g of salt per 1 liter of water). You can use special rehydration solutions from pharmaceutical products - Regidron, Glucosolan, Citroglucosolan.
• It is recommended to drink in small portions of 100-200 ml every 30-40 minutes.
• During physical exertion, you need to drink every 20 minutes, regardless of whether there is thirst.

In order to check if the body is getting enough water, pay attention to the color of the urine. Normally, with sufficient fluid intake, urine will be light yellow. Dark urine is a sign of dehydration.

What and how best to eat in the heat
One of the most important conditions for “surviving” in the heat is optimal nutrition.
On hot days, the need for energy decreases by about 5-10%, which means that the body needs less high-calorie food. In summer, appetite and digestibility of food also decrease, and people reflexively switch to lighter food. Given that food is a source of energy for us and increases metabolism with the formation of heat, proper nutrition in the heat is very important. So, the basic rules:

• Due to the heat, it is better to transfer the main meal to the evening hours and observe approximately the following distribution of food throughout the day: for breakfast - 30%, for lunch - 25%, for dinner - 45% of the daily diet. Meat and fish dishes are best consumed for breakfast or dinner. In conditions of coolness, it will be easier for the body to digest them.
• The diet should be balanced. So, proteins (meat, poultry, fish, dairy products) should be about 15%, fats (vegetable and animal) - no more than 11-12%. Carbohydrates account for the rest.
• Nutrition should be fractional, in small portions and, in the presence of appetite, frequent - 5-6 times a day, so as not to cause a rush of large volumes of blood to the internal organs that are involved in the digestion of food.
• Food should be light and cool with a high moisture content. It is recommended to eat dairy products, vegetables, fruits and other juicy foods more often. Summer products number 1 - fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, salad vegetables, young potatoes, which are 70 - 90% water. In addition to being a source of fluid, vitamins and minerals for the body, they also take away excess heat, having cool properties.
• It is very important that food helps to maintain the constancy of the internal environment of the body. In the heat, the acid-base balance of the body shifts to the “sour” side - acidosis develops, in which the normal course of all physiological processes is disturbed, weakness appears and efficiency decreases. Therefore, the body needs components that have an alkaline valence and maintain an alkaline blood reaction. All vegetables, fruits, milk are products in which the alkaline equivalent prevails. All citrus fruits, despite the sour taste, have an alkalizing effect. Protein products (meat, fish, cheese), fats, nuts, all cereals, sugar contain acid radicals and oxidize the internal environment of the body. Thus, alkalizing products maintain the acid-base balance of the blood. Due to this, they increase the adaptive capacity of the body in extreme conditions.
• Limit intake of protein and fatty foods. In those countries where the heat is usually strong and lasts for a long time, doctors recommend either not eating meat, animal fats, smoked and spicy, or eating very little of them. This is due to the so-called specific dynamic action of food (SDA). This term is understood as an increase in heat production during the intake of various types of food. Moreover, the maximum heat production is observed when eating fatty and protein foods. Normally, this heat maintains body temperature, which is actively used by northern peoples. In fact, DDS of food is the energy costs for the transport, digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients.
• In the heat, special attention must be paid to the freshness and purity of products, because. in summer they deteriorate faster and intestinal infections occur more often. Therefore, it is necessary to wash vegetables, fruits and herbs well. It is better to completely refuse confectionery products with cream. All products should be stored in the refrigerator.

Conclusions, which foods should be eaten in the heat, and which ones should be avoided
1. Eat as little as possible "warming" and "drying" foods: fats, fatty meats, spices, spicy foods, legumes, fast food chain products, sweets and muffins. Replace fatty meats or fish with lean ones.
2. Preference to give vegetables and fruits:
- fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, salad vegetables, young potatoes;
- watermelons and melons, citrus fruits, berries, peaches, apricots, apples.
3 Salads are best seasoned with vegetable oil or low-fat yogurt.
4. Cottage cheese and kefir should be low-fat.
5. Cold soups are the perfect summer meal. It can be okroshka, cold lean borscht, gazpacho, etc. Summer soups are almost always made sour - okroshka on kvass or kefir with lemon juice, and gazpacho on tomatoes. This is no coincidence, because. acid, irritating the taste buds in the mouth, causes increased salivation, as a result of which the dry mouth disappears and the heat does not seem so debilitating.
6. Ice cream or a fruit smoothie will help cool you down at noon.

In the heat is prohibited!
Use substances that affect the functioning of the body's thermoregulation system. These are alcohol, sugary carbonated drinks, light drinks, sugary drinks with a small amount of juice containing sweeteners and preservatives, energy tonics, caffeinated products (black tea and coffee should be avoided), aspirin and other antipyretics.
