As with many others who have to deal with this MesS, summer can be hell on earth-mainly due to the heat. From icy drinks, to cooling vests, to homemade cold immersion therapy, there are a few ways to beat the heat. Sometimes all that it takes is quick rest in the shade, and others will take a day of inactivity in the air conditioning. So, here's a brief listing of the life-hacks I've found that help me with summer's inferno.
- Cold Coffee: In the morning, yes a good, fresh, hot cup of coffee can really wake me up, and I am SEVERELY ADDICTED to caffeine. But, as the day progresses and the temperature escalates, the heat of the coffee outweighs the benefits of the caffeine. Luckily, many restaurants have developed the drink: Cold coffee. It's even easier to make at home. Just brew some coffee and add ice.
- Cold Immersion Therapy [Homemade]: Real cold immersion therapy is something that must be pursued with a doctor's or other medical professional's advice. My version is a little less intense. First, take a normal shower. Second, as the shower ends, slowly lower the water's temperature to as cold as you can stand, Finally, once rested, get out and get dressed feeling more energized.
- Sleep: Sometimes, when the AC is running full blast, a cat nap helps.
These are just a few of the ways I try to keep cool. Follow the links below and find even more.
