Summer officially starts here in the Philippines. With temperature hitting 38 degrees (in Celsius, friends) yesterday, I feel hot!:) Really. No. I mean, when temperature is on the rise, it affects us big time. Like it's easy so to get irritated and exhausted when the weather is extremely hot. To mention also is that it can cause health problems such as dehydration, heat stroke and skin problems (so girls beware!). But it is healthy to have some sunshine they say before 9:30am. So, the sun is either friend or foe. We just have to make the most of it!
To avoid the harmful effects, I personally do these things:
1. Don't go out much when the sun is so up and always brings umbrella for protection for either rain or heat when I really need to go out. It sometimes rains late afternoon or evening when we are experiencing a very hot temperature during the day, better prepared than sorry.
2. Take Vitamin C and other food supplement or real food that contains it. Sudden changes of weather causes even more risks as our body can't adapt right away. That's why flu, colds and cough is also present at times.
3. Drink lots of liquid, preferably water. This is an old adage I know but this always work. We shall not talk how water we are all made up of, shall we?
4. And for your hot-tempered head, just be considerate of the circumstances if there is. Maybe it's just because of the weather! :)
Enjoy your summer and keep your cool!
