7 ways to deal with the increasing temperatures in Singapore

7 Apr, 2016

Warmer days are nearing, so here are some tips that may help you to get through this hot season.

On April 1st, the Straits Times reported that March has been the driest month so far!

With the days getting warmer and warmer, it's important to adopt measures to help cope with the insane weather.

Not to worry, we've come up with a few tips that might do the trick.

Carry a bottle of water around with you

Carry a bottle of water around with you

Dehydration is commonly linked with the hot weather because of our increased tendency to become thirsty in short periods of time.

Since our bodies are meant to function best within a certain range of temperatures, it needs to cool off if it gets too warm. Therefore it is necessary to carry a bottle of water around everywhere you go.

Drink coconut water

Drink coconut water

Known as one of the most refreshing drinks around, it's no wonder this tropical drink is on the list!

Aside from the many health benefits that it provides, coconut water is proven to be useful in rehydrating the body by replacing the water and minerals lost.

Take more fruits

Take more fruits

Fruits are like the candies of vegetables, am I right? Except for the fact that unlike vegetables, they're good for you!

Fruits contain water and fibre which not only helps with rehydration, they also taste good. So grab yourself an apple before you start knocking on the doctor's door!

Spicy food/dishes

Spicy food/dishes

Bad news, this well-loved nationwide food type is unfortunately on this list.

Intake of spicy food increases our body temperature which is not helpful for this hot season. Every effort should be made to keep your body temperature low which means, ditch the chilli padi!

Increase indoor activities

Increase indoor activities

This one goes without saying.

Indoor activities such as board games can also help in family bonding. Alternatively, there are indoor swimming pools or even the movies, if you're not the stay-at-home type!

Apply sunblock

Apply sunblock

Application of sunblock is so important whether or not it's really sunny outside.

As everyone is different, it is important to get a sunblock where the SPF matches your body's tolerance in the hot weather. For more information on SPF levels, click here.

Adopt lightweight clothing

Adopt lightweight clothing

Lightweight clothes such as cotton or linen are like best friends of clothes for the hot season.

Heavy clothing such as denim tend to trap sweat which may cause a layer of heat between the cloth and your body, apart from the already hot weather.

Mummies, share with us on your tips on dealing with the hot weather below!
