  • As temperatures soar across the nation, it's important to stay cool. Lifestyle guru Erika Katz recommends freezing your bed sheets to cool off during the nighttime. She also says drinking hot beverages and taking hot showers helps your body sweat, cooling you off. Other tips include soaking your feet in cold water and dabbing yourself with a mixture of witch hazel and body wipes.

    Thank you for explaining that you need to put the ice cubes in the freezer, I’ve been putting them in the oven all my life

    Those sheets will literally only stay cool for maybe five minutes after being taken out of the fridge though.

    From personal experience, I wouldn’t recommend taking a hot shower during a heat wave because it will only make you dehydrated and dizzy.

    NEVER use anything hot on someone at risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke! They're usually unable to sweat, so this will make them worse, not better. Also, using heat on anyone is not a good idea. Anything that uses sweat to cool a person down gives them a risk of dehydration. Using heat is all round bad advice. Your body should not be encouraged to sweat more than it would by itself. For context, I'm an advanced first aider & a health scientist.

    The hot shower and hot drinks don't really help in areas with high humidity

    Damn, please don't follow these "health gurus". I'm a trained medical professional and I can tell you absolutely 100% that hyperthermia is NEVER treated with additional heat. But didn't need me to tell you that, your human instinct always tells you to take a cool shower when you're hot.

    I used the witch hazel method once after giving birth. It was phenomenal

    I live and work in Death Valley, CA. It's 120 degrees as I type this. Let me give you some advice. Move slow when outside. Don't stay outside for very long. Avoid alcohol drinks because alcohol dehydrates you. Drink lots of water and drinks with electrolytes. And here's the biggest one. Have AC!

    Oh, I thought that by hydrating yourself regularly and staying inside while it's sweltering would help you during a heatwave. Apparently, I was wrong all along.
