Servus! We have around 34 degrees in Munich today, and in England (where I come from) there is also a Hitzewelle<\/strong> where it is around 30 – 31 degrees. After melting today at work it gave me the idea to write this post to help you guys with a few tips on how to manage the heat and learn a bit of German at the same time!<\/p>\n

– Trinken Sie genugend Fl\u00fcssigkeiten!<\/strong>
\nDrink enough liquids!<\/p>\n

– Lassen Sie die Vorh\u00e4nge zu w\u00e4hrend des Tages<\/strong>
\nLeave the curtains closed during the day<\/p>\n

– F\u00fcllen Sie eine W\u00e4rmflasche mit eiskaltem Wasser auf und legen Sie es in das Bett um besser zu schlafen<\/strong>
\nFill a hot water bottle with ice cold water and put it in your bed to help you sleep better<\/p>\n

– Nehmen Sie ein kaltes Fu\u00dfbad<\/strong>
\nTake a cold footbath<\/p>\n

– Trinken Sie keine eiskalten Getr\u00e4nke oder Alkohol<\/strong>
\nDon’t drink ice cold drinks or alcohol (ice cold drinks make your body think you are cold, and actually produces heat! That’s why it’s better to drink drinks at room temperature or even hotter. Alcohol can lead to dehydration which of course won’t help during a heatwave).<\/p>\n

– Nutzen Sie ein Feuchtigkeitsspray<\/strong>
\nUse a facial moisture spray<\/p>\n

– Essen Sie lieber \u00f6fter und daf\u00fcr kleinere Mahlzeiten<\/strong>
\nEat smaller meals more often (rather than eating big meals where your digestive system has to work harder, your body will not have to work as hard and therefore won’t produce as much heat with smaller meals, also eating more often will prevent fainting as when it’s hot you usually eat less than normal).<\/p>\n

In Germany the room temperature at a work place shouldn’t be over 35 degrees. If the room temperature goes over 35 degrees the employees have the right to move to a room that is cooler, or go home. If the employees go home it is called Hitzefrei<\/strong> (literally translates to “heat free”).<\/p>\n

Do you have any other tips to stay cool in the heat? What’s the weather like where you are? I hope you enjoyed the post and I’m looking forward to reading your comments.<\/p>\n

\nStay cool!<\/p>\n
