Top 10 Tips to Beat the Heat

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Trish Robichaud

For many people with various types of chronic illness, especially those of us with multiple sclerosis, finding ways to beat the heat is about more than just comfort. Staying cool (or as cool as possible) this summer may mean the difference between a season filled with fun activities and one spent in what I call "horizontal mode".

Here are 10 tips to help you stay cool when the temperature soars.

1. Air conditioning
Air conditioning may be your weapon in the fight against heat. I have a window unit in my bedroom for sleeping. If air conditioning isn't possible, a dehumidifier and fans can help. By removing some humidity and creating a current, the air will feel cooler. When all else fails, visit the mall, library or any place that has air conditioning.

2. Keep the sun out
Keep the window shades drawn from at least 11:00 am until 2:00 pm. The mid-day sun can increase the heat in the house and make it difficult to cool down in the evening.

3. Sleep alone
It sounds lonely but it'll be much cooler without the body heat that comes with a spouse, child, dog or even the family cat sharing your bed.

4. Wear cotton
Cotton takes perspiration away from the skin leaving you drier and more comfortable. Select light-coloured cotton clothes, nightwear and bedding. Cotton sheets not only absorb sweat, but permits your skin to breath, making you more comfortable and less restless. Better sleep means more energy and better mobility.

5. Cool showers & baths
During the summer, there's nothing more satisfying than a cool bath or shower. Even running cold water over my wrists (or another pulse point) for a few minutes cools me down. When I can't sleep at night because of the heat, I fill a pan with cold water and soak my feet – it really helps to lower the body temperature!

6. Keep exercise moderate
Exercise is important but it's tempting to skip it when it's hot. Do exercise but keep it moderate. Don't push yourself too hard and be sure to take a cool shower afterwards to bring your body temperature back down.

7. Try swimming
If possible, choose swimming as your exercise during the summer. Swimming works all the major muscle groups while helping to maintain a lower body temperature. It also helps with balance and mobility.

8. Seek shade
When you're going to be outside, always sit in the shade. Even better, sit in the shade where there's a breeze. If there's no breeze, don't hesitate to bring an electric fan outside. They work outside as well as they do inside!

9. Wear a hat
The sun beating down on your head has a huge impact on your body temperature: always wear a hat when you're out in the sun.

10. Try cooling clothing
A number of manufacturers are now making cooling vests, hats, etc. Last summer my husband came home with cooling bandanas. They have gel crystals that retain cold when wet. You run it under cold water and tie it around your head. As long as it stays wet, it stays cool – neat!

The bottom line is this... Do whatever you can to make the summer season more enjoyable. God knows we all find it tough to endure the long winters. Here's to your summer fun!
