Hello everyone,
This heat we are facing lately is something else i don’t know if it’s just me, but the sun is now hotter than it used to be some years ago everywhere just dey hot anyhow morning, afternoon, even at night Sometimes it feels like the heat is sitting on your body and refusing to leave.
Honestly, it hasn’t been easy but I have been doing a few things to make life more bearable in this hot weather the first thing I have done is to reduce my movement during the hottest part of the day. Once it’s around 12pm to 4pm, I try to stay indoors as much as possible if I must go out i wear light clothes mostly cotton and I always carry a small handkerchief or face towel to clean sweat.
I also make sure to drink a plenty of water i used to forget before, but now I take it seriously this sun can drain your energy fast, and without enough water, you can even faint i try to take cold water or water mixed with lime to cool my system i have also reduced how much tea or hot drinks I take during the day I save those for cooler times another thing i have started doing is bathing more than once a day normally I used to bathe in the morning, but now, I bathe again around evening time and sometimes before bed it helps me sleep better and reduces the heat on my skin.
In the house i open the windows early in the morning to allow fresh air in i also close the curtains when the sun starts shining directly into the room so it doesn’t heat up too much i don’t have air conditioning, but I make sure the fan is always working well when the light goes off which is often I use hand fan or just pour cool water on myself and relax with a wet towel.
In terms of food i try to eat light heavy meals during hot weather can make you uncomfortable i eat more fruits like watermelon, cucumber, oranges things that keep me fresh and hydrated i have also started making homemade zobo and storing it in the fridge. It helps cool me down and it’s healthy too.
Sometimes, when the heat gets too much i just lie down quietly turn off every unnecessary light or device that produces heat and try not to stress myself. Because even small stress can feel big under this kind of sun to reduce the heat around me, I’ve also planted small plants around my room and in front of the house itmay be small, but it helps cool the area a bit i believe if more people plant trees and stop cutting them anyhow, this heat won’t be this bad.
In all, I’m just taking it one day at a time the sun no be friend right now, but I won’t let it finish me i pray the weather cools down soon this heat no be joke at all.
Thanks for reading
