Ditch icy drinks
We naturally reach for a glass of cold water when in a hot climate. While that delivers an instant cooling sensation in your mouth, your body absorbs fluid more quickly if it’s the same temperature as you. It takes energy to warm a cold drink to your body’s temperature –

on a sweat. It also opens up blood vessels in the skin, allowing more heat to escape from your body.’
Slip into sheepskin boots Yes, really! Ugg boots were first worn by Australian surfers to regulate the temperature of their feet. Wool is full of air pockets that allow air to circulate and your feet to breathe. Think of Ugg-style boots as akin to a flask, keeping their contents cool or warm in reaction to the temperature of the feet. We recommend that the boots are worn without socks so that the wool’s natural thermoregulation properties aren’t hampered!
Have a paddle Dipping your feet in cold water is one of the best ways to achieve instant cool. Your feet and fingertips contain special vessels designed to allow a lot of blood to reach the surface of the skin – and with it a lot of heat. You can lose a degree and a half of heat from body temperature in just 20 minutes this way.
Have a warm shower

Strange but true, having a
tepid shower will actually lower your body temperature far more effectively than a cold one. To cool down, the body delivers heat via the blood to the surface of the skin, where it then evaporates. A very cold shower can shut down that blood supply as the body acts in self-defence to preserve heat.
Wear black clothes In fact, wear whatever colour you fancy because, contrary to popular opinion, dark fabric doesn’t make you hotter. Intrigued by Bedouin tribes wearing black robes in hot deserts, scientists conducted a study and discovered that the amount of heat felt by a person standing in the desert is the same whether they wear a black or a white robe. The heat absorbed by the black fabric is lost before it reaches the skin. Bedouin robes, the scientists noted, are worn loose. Inside, the cooling happens by convection, either through a bellows action, as the robes flow in the wind, or by a chimney effect, as air rises between robe and skin.
