炎炎夏日消暑妙方
Tips to help you keep cool this summer by Pamela Osment
Finding ways to beat the summer heat can be difficult but not impossible! Try a few of these fun ideas, and you’ll cool off in no time.
Eat spicy food
Spicy food causes you to sweat. And as the sweat evaporates, it cools your body down.
Use cold sheets
Put away your blankets and sleep between sheets. Put your sheets in a plastic bag and then in the refrigerator about two hours before bedtime. Cold sheets can help lower your body temperature, which should help you fall asleep more easily.

Keep it light
Because dark colors absorb heat, wearing light-colored clothing keeps you more comfortable on hot days. Also, natural material like cotton lets air pass through, which cools your body.
Add water
Water also helps get rid of the heat. But if you're at school or work, it's not possible to take a nice, refreshing shower. Do the next best thing and run cool water on your wrists. In addition, you can run some on a towel and put it on the back of your neck.
Freeze some fruit
Snack on frozen watermelon and other fruit for a tasty way to beat this summer's heat!
