Key Points:
- To stay safe during heat waves, experts recommend drinking plenty of fluids, seeking air-conditioned spaces, swimming in public pools, and staying in the shade when outdoors.
- For better sleep on hot nights, cooling key body areas like wrists, face, and feet with cold water or a chilled washcloth can help lower core body temperature and improve sleep quality.
- Taking intentional "golden hours" after work to engage in relaxing activities like walking, reading, or calling a friend can boost well-being and reduce stress.
- Hydration can be maintained not only by drinking water but also by consuming hydrating foods such as watermelon and cucumbers; moderate coffee intake does not cause dehydration.
- Short movement breaks of five minutes every hour can counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting, improve mood, and reduce fatigue.
