Hi there, time to share ways to keep your home cool during hot times
So ok, usual ways I use:
- open everything during night
- close everything during day
- external sheets on windows without shutters
- some curtains to prevent heat from going upstairs
I was also wondering if plants could also help inside, any ideas ?
Share your advices !
Your body is overheating so you heat it more?
This is not a solution to a problem, it is a problem itself
You’d be surprised how good the human body is at dissipating heat. We spent a good chunk of our evolution being savanna dwellers
Most overheating comes from dehydration causing surface capillaries to contract limiting how much heat the body can expel, drinking a small amount of hot liquid will not raise the core to dangerous levels but it will provide hydration and the signal to the capillaries to expand allowing more heat to be radiated out
Cold water does the opposite, closing the capillaries as the body thinks it needs to retain heat as now the core is rapidly cooling.
