Tips for hot weather recently, summer temperatures seem to breaking all records. People are looking for at least some methods to alleviate their condition in the heat. The real lucky man can call those who are on holiday practically all summer.
But there are those who need to work or learn.
What can save a person from a great metropolis has fallen upon its natural habitat: the summer heat, making the journey in public transport is almost unbearable ordeal, and work in the office - a slow torture?
Dress code in hot weather
Heat and office, let's face it - not the best combination. Especially if the room air conditioning problems, or none at all. Head cottony, desktop sticks to your hands. Want to go home, or even better - to escape to the sea.
But more often there is no choice. And we want it or not, we go to work. The easiest ways to cope with the heat are proper nutrition, cleanliness and dress code.
First of all you need to dress properly. Stay away from synthetics: the skin underneath was not breathing and sweating. Tight jeans temporarily change on dresses, skirts, shorts, breeches, trousers made of cotton, linen.
Even if your office dress code is strict, you can always find a way out - for example, go to the clothing made of natural fabrics (cotton, linen, silk).
The girls also best to avoid cosmetics: foundation and powder only contribute to the appearance of sweat on his face, so the make-up just flows, and that spoils the look, and the skin, and in general the mood.
What you need to eat and drink
In hot weather it is best to drink chilled drinking water, juices room temperature (preferably grapefruit and lemon), or warm green tea. The minimum necessary to maintain normal fluid balance in the body, is 1.5 liters with an average air temperature of 21 ° C, 1.9 liters - with a temperature of 26 ° C. Best thirst quencher lemon water. To prepare simply squeeze the juice of one lemon in a bottle of still water.
Also very good to drink decoction of mint. The drink calms the nerves and makes it easier to fall asleep in the hot night. Herb mint (1 tsp.) Pour a glass of boiling water and allow to infuse for 15 minutes.
Sometimes you get the feeling that you just can not get drunk. In this case, you can have a glass of soda, but not too sweet: the bubbles are doing less sensitive mucosa, blunting their thirst.
As for the food, then you need to eat more vegetables, leading to the water content - cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, plums and berries with a hard skin (such as cherries or cherries). It is also very useful to have a fish - it is very well digested and does not emit a lot of heat.
Air conditioning and drafts - and the friend and the enemy ...
Undisputed leader of the rescue in the heat is air conditioning. But do not think that the harder it blows, the better. Since the first wind blows you, and in the evening for no apparent reason the temperature rises, and the nose begins to run.
Doctors believe that if between outside temperature and the room temperature difference of more than ten degrees, it threatens a runny nose and cough. But if you put the air conditioner on +20 ... +22, everything will be in order.
If there is no air conditioning in offices, the experts recommend, at a minimum, put on the table aquariums, you can not even fish. The main thing - there were regular evaporation. Still, as an option, you can periodically spray the room with cold water from a spray bottle.
Good to knowIf the temperature in your office rolls over, the sun shines directly into the eyes and work in this regard is not possible, you can go home. Legally: according to the hygienic requirements of the microclimate of industrial buildings, a working day for office staff is normal, eight-hour, but if the room is not warmer than 28 degrees. Next, for each degree it is reduced by about an hour: thus, at 29 degrees day is 6 hours at 30 degrees - 5 hours, and at 31 degrees heat - only 3 hours.
