Avoid alcohol or coffee
Both coffee and alcohol can dehydrate you during a heat wave. That is why it is recommended to avoid them as much as possible, at least in the middle of the day, when the temperatures are at their highest.
If you are a coffee lover and you can’t imagine going through the day without a cup of coffee, try drinking iced coffee/frappe.
Did you know that ice coffee was invented by a Greek guy called Dimitris Vakondios? As Greece is famous for its high temperatures, Greek people have come up with this smart solution to drink coffee and still maintain a cool temperature in your body, and we are profoundly grateful for their discovery.
