Summer in the city: What to do if you feel anxious in the heat?

Strange as it may sound, it’s summertime when most people feel a heightened sense of anxiety. And while some experts attribute this to the fear of missing the summer and not having time to enjoy all the beauties of the hot weather, others argue that the increased anxiety is due to the city heat.

With an increase in air temperature, a person may feel a sharp decrease in strength. Meanwhile, the body may give out the same signals felt during a panic attack. The most common symptoms are increased sweating, dizziness, mild nausea and increased heart rate. And if you suddenly notice this behind your back, we assure you this is no reason to be upset.

With a little safety precaution in hot weather, you can save yourself from the increased sense of anxiety in public places. Let us tell you more!

1. Drink enough water and keep it with you at all times. As cliché as it may sound, when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the body’s need to drink increases. Moreover, in case of deterioration of well-being in a closed room, it is water that can bring you to yourself.
2. Choose light foods. As a rule, the digestion process slows down in the summer, but still, there are times when a treacherous thought enters the head, in the middle of a hot day, to eat a slice of pizza. In such cases, we strongly advise you to abandon everything in favor of cooling products that are clear and green. But if suddenly the desire to grab a pizza with viscous cheese still does not leave you, then at least leave this activity for the evening when the air temperature drops.
3. Take thermal water and give up heavy cologne. We do not know the rest, but for the editors of The Fashion Vibes, thermal water was a real salvation on hot days. In addition to moisturizing the skin (which is important to do, by the way), it also helps to calm down and relieve anxiety. That’s why we strongly recommend that you buy a miniature and keep it with you. Well, perfume in the summer is a separate conversation. In hot weather, you should prefer sour and spicy flavored colognes instead of light eau de parfum.
4. If possible, do not go out between 12:00 and 15:00. As we know since childhood, the sun is most active during this period. And if you do not tolerate the heat well, the doctor has ordered you to stay home at this time.
5. Give up caffeine. Yes, we are serious now. And about the iced coffee. Caffeine abuse is associated with increased anxiety. Then it’s time to try all varieties of green tea and refreshing lemonade.
