In summer, the high heat always makes you feel uncomfortable. Actually, to stay cool and comfortable, you can try lots of natural ways, including water, fans, cool drinks and more. Here let's see how to use water to cool down.
Drink water more often. Your body will feel cooler if you do that. Try drinking at least eight bottles of water every day. Adding orange. lemon. or tomato pieces to your water makes it more refreshing.
Freeze a handkerchief (手帕) and put it on your neck, forehead, arms or legs.
When the handkerchief heats up, simply wet it and put it back in the fridge. You can also put an ice pack behind your head.
Run cold water over your wrists (手腕). Wet your wrists and other parts, such as your neck and your inner elbows, with cool water for 10 second each. This will lower your temperature for a little bit. This can be especially helpful for cooling down right before you go to bed.
Fill your bathtub (浴缸) with cool water and get in. Once you are used to the temperature, let some water and refill it with cold water. Keep doing this until you feel cool enough.
