Heat can pose a serious danger to our health if not dealt with properly. It can also lead to a lovely tan. Here are 5 easy to implement ways to stop your body from overheating and stay healthy even when your body is under stress:
1) DE-STRESS
- Cold white tea is a great de-stressor in the heat as it contains the amino acid thiamine which reduces anxiety - we love Teapigs
- Dark chocolate - yummy and proven to lower the stress inducing hormone cortisol
2) CUT BACK ON ALCOHOL
- Alcohol is proven to lead to dehydration
- Instead try this 100% alcohol free clean gin - The Clean Liquor Co
3) REPLENISH YOUR SALT LEVELS
- Mix a small amount of sea salt into some water
- OR electrolytes are a great alternative
4) DRINK LOTS OF WATER
