To avoid the scorching heat, every person definitely tries some tips. With the advent of summer, many problems increase.
From daily routine to diet plan, it is very important to keep the summer season in mind. However, avoiding heat in summer is the most important thing and for this also people adopt different methods.
Cover head and skin
Do not forget to cover the head before going out in the scorching heat of summer, otherwise, you may have problems like headaches and dizziness.
Onion panacea
Let us tell you that to avoid the heat if you rub the onion on the nails before going out in the sun, then you will not feel the heat. Onion is a panacea to avoid heatstroke.
Drink more water
Do not forget to include healthy drinks like lemonade, shikanji, sherbet, mango juice, fresh fruit, and vegetable juices in your diet to avoid the heat.
Head downstairs
Since hot air rises, the upper stories of a home will be warmer than the ground floor. A basement can be a cool refuge from the midday heat.
Diet
Most importantly, one should avoid going out on an empty stomach in summer. Include cold things like curd, tomato chutney, and coconut in the food.
Body mask
To protect the body from heat, you can make a paste of barley flour and onion and apply it to the body before bathing.
Eliminate extra sources of heat
The Incandescent light bulbs can generate unnecessary heat, as can computers or appliances left running. Eat fresh foods that do not require you to use the oven or stove to prepare.
Finally, remember that pets also suffer when the temperature rises. Cooling animals (dogs, rabbits, cats) by giving them a “cool” bath or shower will help keep their body temperature down. A cool towel on a tile floor to lay on, a cool towel or washcloth laying over the skin next to a fan will also help to cool the animal. Make sure they have plenty of cool water to drink as well. The signs of a heat stroke in a pet are:
- vomiting,
- twitching muscles,
- lots of drooling,
- hot skin,
- wide eyes,
- rapid panting and
- a dazed look.
