Did you try out the first six hacks to beat the summer heat naturally this summer? Well, here are five more ways to cool down this summer.

Practice a Healthy Skincare Routine

An essential part of beating the summer heat is protecting your face and skin from harmful UV sun rays. Therefore, it would help to take better care of your skin. Ensure you apply waterproof sunscreen before leaving your house. It will also help to integrate natural products such as cucumber and lemon into your skincare routine.

Avoid Foods that Heat Your Body

Did you know that certain foods can raise your body temperature? Therefore, limit intake of garlic, carrot, sour fruits, and beetroot. Instead, go for cooling foods such as sea vegetables, dark leafy greens, and berries. It will also help to avoid red meat as much as possible during summer.

Adjust Your Workout Schedule

It would help to adjust your workout routine to cooler hours of the day (late evening or early morning). Doing this will ensure your body stays cool and hydrated. Note that too much heat when working out will get you agitated.

Change Your Cooking Time

Using the oven or cooking will generate a lot of heat in your home. Therefore, try to cook at night when the temperatures are much cooler. It will also help to shift to a solar-powered stove if you live in a hot area with access to direct sunlight.

Create a DIY Air Conditioner

When the heat gets unbearable, you can always design a homemade air conditioner. Transform your Styrofoam into an AC unit by adding a small fan and two dryer vents. Start by tracing the circumference of the fan right at the center of your cooler’s cover. Ensure you trace openings for the dryer vents on either side. Insert the fan and vents into the openings once you finish cutting along the lines. Freeze water in plastic bottles and place them in your cooler. Plug in your energy-efficient fan after replacing the cover and enjoy a cool breeze.
