One of the most effective ways to beat the humidity is to keep your body temperature down. Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, there are some steps that
you can take to beat the heat.

Drinking lots of the right fluids can be the most effective way to keep your body temperature down. There are plenty of options when choosing a hydrating
drink such as water, milk, fruit-infused water, 100% fruit juice, sports drinks, caffeine-free tea, and coconut water. Avoiding alcoholic and caffeinated
beverages will help your body retain as many of the electrolytes as possible.
Avoid using the oven and eat cool foods like salads and fresh fruit. Choose fruits that are high in water content like watermelon. You can even freeze

Layers are a great choice because they can be removed and put back on as the weather conditions change.
You don’t need to dump a bucket full of ice water on yourself to stay cool. However, a cool water shower definitely can help. Pulse points also play an important role in keeping your body temperature down. Cool water, a damp washcloth, or an ice pack on your neck, wrists, inside of your elbows or knees, tops of the feet and ankles are all pulse points that will help you cool off quickly.
