炎夏迫近，我們如何避免中暑呢?下面我們奉上在炎炎夏日保持清涼的最佳計策，其中的一些可能會讓你大感意外哦。
POP YOUR SHEETS IN THE FREEZER
把你的牀單丟進冰箱冷凍起來
It may sound like a recipe for a sleepless night, but wetting your bed sheets and chilling them in the fridge or freezer three to four hours before you go to bed can work wonders.
這一招乍聽之下似乎是爲了治療失眠症的，其實不然，在入睡前將溼淋淋的牀單放進冰箱，讓它冷凍結冰，這招會產生意想不到的效果喲。
USE MONKEY MAGIC
運用猴子的魔法
It's a centuries-old trick favoured by monkeys: cool down by licking your wrists.
這是一個有千百年歷史的老方法，猴子們很喜歡它：通過舔自己手腕的方法讓自己涼快下來。
It may sound ridiculous, but it works.
這也許聽起來很滑稽，但是效果確實不錯。
Failing that, the same effect can be achieved by dunking wrists under a cold tap for a few seconds.
如果做不到這一點，將手腕放在水龍頭下，讓涼水衝幾秒鐘，也能獲得同樣的效果。
SECRET TO A COOLING SHOWER
淋浴降溫的祕訣
If you get under an ice cold shower, your body will fight against the cold, trying to warm up by shivering, reducing blood flow to the skin and increasing the metabolic rate. When you get out and into the hot air, this will work against you and you'll heat up very quickly.
如果你去衝冰水浴，你的身體會與水的低溫相對抗，身體顫抖試圖暖和起來，這會減少皮膚毛細血管中的血流量，會增加新陳代謝率。當你走出浴室，再次置身於高溫環境中時，這些身體反應會持續作用，讓你很快又感到熱起來。
Instead, take a lukewarm or tepid shower.
相反，你應該用溫吞或微涼的水來淋浴。
FEAST ON A SPICY CURRY
享受火辣的咖喱
Curry is an unexpected cooler during a heatwave, especially one made with light, easily digestible proteins such as chicken or fish. Curry contains capsaicin, a heat compound found in chilli peppers, which stimulates sweat production.
在酷暑夏日，咖喱是一種人們意想不到的降暑食品，特別是用脂肪含量較低、容易消化又富含蛋白質的肉類(如雞肉和牛肉等)做成的咖喱。咖喱富含辣椒素，這是一種能在辣椒中找到的熱化合物，能刺激人發汗。
Sweating helps cool you down for two reasons: first, the skin is naturally colder when wet, and second, as sweat evaporates it removes heat from the body.
出汗能幫你解暑，原因有二：首先，當皮膚變溼潤的時候，溫度自然降低;第二，出汗能帶走體內的熱度。
HAVE A (CAFFEINE FREE) HOT DRINK
來杯熱飲(要不含咖啡因的喲)
Hot drinks can have the same effect on the body as curry — causing us to sweat and so cool down. They will make you feel warmer at first, but it's a vital source of fluid and the more you sweat, the cooler you will get.
熱飲料與咖喱一樣可以起到降暑的效果——通過讓人體發汗來讓我們涼快下來。他們首先會讓你感到體溫上升，不過體溫上升是刺激人體出汗的重要途徑。你出的汗越多，你就會感到越涼爽。
