Five cool ways to beat the heat五种避暑方法

Dean

It has been very hot in the past week. The temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius in many regions, including the northern cities of Beijing and Tianjin, provinces of Hebei and Shanxi and Inner Mongolia autonomous Region. Besides sunstroke and dehydration, people suffer from high fevers, heart disease, vomiting, asthma and other heat-related problems. Here is some advice from experts to keep fit during hot wave.

1. Try to plan your day in a way that allows you to stay out of the heat and avoid going out in the hottest part of the day (11am - 3pm).
2. If you cannot avoid strenuous activities like sports or gardening, keep it for the cooler parts of the day such as early morning or dusk.
3. If you must go out, stay in the shade. Wear a hat and light, loose-fitting clothes, preferably cotton. If you are likely to be outside for some time, take plenty of water with you.
4. Inside, stay in the coolest rooms. Ventilate the room at night but shut the windows and draw up the curtains during the day. Indoor plants will help keep your home cool due to evaporation. Take cool showers or baths and splash yourself several times a day with cold water.
5. Drink regularly, even if you do not feel thirsty. Water and fruit juice are best. Avoid alcohol, tea and coffee. They make dehydration worse. Eat as usual. Try to eat more cold food, particularly salads and fruit that contain water.

It is Firday today and it is very hot again this afternoon. The sun shines brightly in the sky and the burning sunlight scorches people staying or working outside.

It is really amazing to have such cool weather in summer. But it was so hot and muggy before it rained yesterday afternoon. The extreme heat made people suffer a lot.
