NO. 7 If You Can't Help WeatherHelp Yourself There's nothing much you can do about hot weather except talk about it (remember Mark Twain's crack?). But there are quite a few things you can do about yourself which, if they won't air condition you 24 hours a hot dav. will help you to be a little less hot. First of all. take it as easy as you can. Relax whenever and wherever possible. Don't worry about either the heat or the humidity?don't even talk about it! Get plenty of sleep. Eat sensibly. Salads and fruit are okay, but they're not enough to keep you going. You still need proteins, carbohydrates and fats for energy and for strength to get through the uncomfortable days . . . Eat an extra hearty breakfast in the cool of the J l-'-l-A 1 ' uery, yu ngni on luncn. uoid foods are not cooling (except psychologically), because it's not the food but the calories they contain that raises body temperatures. So don't pass up hot dishes. Drink plenty of water?12 to 15 glasses a day?cool but not necessarily icy; iced drinks actually interfere with the body's temperature controls.
