How to dress in the heat? Important recommendations from specialists

During the hot summer season, the human body faces serious challenges. In periods when the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, protecting the body from heat is not only about comfort, but also very important for health. In this regard, the Committee for Sanitary-Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health has announced four important recommendations that everyone should know.

Loose and covered clothing — a guarantee of health[center][/center]

Many people prefer light and open clothing in the heat. However, specialists point out that this approach is ineffective when the temperature is above 37 degrees. Open skin evaporates sweat quickly, and the body does not have time to cool down. Moreover, SPF protection does not last long on sweaty skin. Therefore, long, loose, and breathable clothing, including long dresses, skirts, and light hats, is beneficial.

Natural fabric and light colors — overcome the summer heat

Clothing made from synthetic fabrics not only does not let air through, but also collects sweat, causing discomfort. The Committee's specialists recommend giving priority in summer only to clothes made from natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and silk. Black and dark colors absorb heat, while light and white colors reflect sunlight and keep you cool.

Layered clothing — protection inspired by Asia

Although it may seem unusual, the layered style of traditional Asian clothing is a great way to protect against the heat. Wearing a light undershirt or T-shirt under a wide outer garment or long shirt creates an air layer between the body and the environment, stabilizing body temperature.

Headwear — main protection from sunstroke

When the bright summer sun directly affects the head, heat stroke (sunstroke) may occur. Therefore, a light scarf, hat, or cotton panama will help shade the head. In addition, slightly moistening the headwear helps relieve sweating and cool the body.

In conclusion:
Indifference or incorrect clothing during the hot season poses a serious threat to health. An ill-considered wardrobe can lead to heart failure, heat stroke, or sunburn of the skin. By following the specialists’ recommendations, you can protect not only yourself but also your loved ones from injury and health problems. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
