I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.
This stuff is unbearable, I can’t even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.
So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?
Cold water will make you thirstier, you will sweat it super quickly which will feel refreshing but you will have used up all that water.
With that said, putting a 1.5L bottle of water in the freezer and carrying that is also an option.
I recommend getting a metal water bottle and carrying that around when you’re sightseeing or any activity that keeps you outside in the sun for long.
Also I personally never noticed any extra sweating when drinking cold water versus ambient temperature water, and I live in Portugal were we regularly get 40C or more in August. Generally, if it’s hot enough you’ll sweat more simply from the heat (as sweating is a natural cooling mechanism) even if all you drink is plain tap water. Sure, if you don’t drink water you’ll sweat less, as you’re getting dehydrated so the body will cut down on that.
Were did you learn that specific piece of information about cold water making people sweat more?
Tbh I’m pretty sure it’s just old people tales from my pueblo so you might as well be right
I don’t think conservative water is necessary.
Drink cool water help body cool off faster. Sweat also help cool off.
If the combined effect make you drink more water, then keep drinking.
