11 surprising ways to keep cool in the summer heat

Here are some unusual hacks that will keep things cool and breez for you all summer.


It's hard to stay cool during a heat wave - especially if you do not have air conditioners. Even with AC on, the heat gives us and can really be dangerous if you do not stay properly hydrated. Here are some unusual hacks that will keep things cool and breez for you all summer.

1. Dark under a slightly damp sheet or towel

It also works if you wear a wet t-shirt in bed. The evaporation of the fabric water keeps you cool - especially if you have a fan that can run throughout the night. When the skin comes into contact with the cold, especially in areas with a high concentration of blood vessels near the skin, it helps transfer the heat from your body.

2. Put a bowl of ice in front of your fan

This DIY air conditioner can save you hundreds on your electricity bill and is good to know how your CA is decomposed. Just throw ice in a metal bowl (or freeze the water directly in) and place it in front of a fan being running. Try to tilt the bowl or fan so that the air flourizes directly on the ice surface, which makes air blowing even colder.

3. Eat spicy foods

This does not seem judicious, but surprisingly, hot foods such as Jalapeño, Habanero and Cayenne Peppers have a specific type of heat that comes from a chemical called capsaicin. While capsaicin is an irritant in man who leads us to perspiration, this sweating mechanism really cools us. When you do not swear in heat - it's when you have serious problems.

4. Reduce the supply of proteins and salt foods

These two elements create metabolic heat when they are digested and end up reduce the water content of your body. To remedy this, eat more vegetables and fruits throughout the day and eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.

5. Create an ice pack of a hat

Of course, it can make you look like a crazy person if you walk to do your shopping, but for a quick solution to stifle heat, brace a cold compress to your head. It can also go to reduce the likelihood of hurting the head of heat. You can also throw wet dish towels in your freezer, wrap them in a c that you can place around your head or neck.

6. Turn the blades to your ceiling fan

The blades on a ceiling fan have a slight inclination, which pushes the air up or down. In winter, you should keep the blades to turn clockwise, but in summer you have to change direction to handle clockwise, which pushes wind streams in the piece below.

7. Put moisturizing products, sunscreen and body in the fridge

Sometimes put hydration and products on heat can make you feel tights and warmer. Instead, rub a cold moisturizing mix or cream on your skin for instant relief for a hot day. You may want to do this all year round, because the beauty products in the refrigerator are reduced pockets and rosacea. Just do not do it with oil-based products. For maximum cooling, pop up some vera aloes in the fridge.

8. Drink a cup of tea or hot coffee

If you can tolerate it - we know that it is tempting to want Chug tea or iced coffee when the degrees continue to climb there - drink a cup of tea or hot water can cool. When you take in the hot liquid, this increases the amount you transpire. Because the drink is warmer than the temperature of your body, the quantity that your sweehy increases helps to cool.

9. Freeze a bottle of water in the refrigerator

He will create an iceberg at the center that slowly founded all day, ensuring that your bottle of water is always frozen and never turns warm. Now that's what we call refreshing!

10. Use an umbrella

Do you know that the feeling of being in a street where there is absolutely no shadow to find, making you feel like you walk in the Sahara desert? We have a solution. If you do not think of rain umbrellas, you miss a hack of life. In fact, umbrellas are perfect for summer walks because they offer a shade when there is none.

11. Have a water fight or run through the sprinkler

Who said that cooling can not be fun? Light it in a game and head to your neighborhood sprinkler (even better if your garden has one) or an anti-splash pad. You can also have a good fight with shaped water with your loved ones to get seaside relief.
