Surviving the hot weather

For more than a week now the weather has been very warm. I can feel my skin burning when I am out in the open. Even in the car the air is warm even when the airconditioning is on. 

I feel there is a kind of restlessness when the air is like this. I cannot really rest in the afternoons. Trying to concentrate is very difficult.

I find that it helps when I have the curtains drawn and the windows closed, so the hot air is kept outside. Just have the fans on and just do easy chores. Wearing light clothings also help. And of course drink a lot of water and just stay indoors as much as possible.

I also just do light exercises such as stretching  and walking on the spot. If I do walking on the treadmill I find that I feel very tired after that. If I just do stretchings, I find that I feel more refreshed.

I also find that when I drink warm water rather than cold water, I find that I feel better after the drink. If I drink ice cold water  if I want to pacify my thirst, I find that  I feel a bit of discomfort after the drink and the discomfort remains for a long time. Warm lemon tea is the best of all drinks.
