Heatwave health risks: Exercise and diet tips to beat fatigue, weakness in summer

Low energy can hinder productivity, physical activity, and immune function. Mentally, it can cause mood swings, difficulty concentrating, and increased stress. Overall, low energy levels can greatly impact daily life and well-being. Lethargy and low energy levels can be due to an array of  factors, especially during hot weather.

Here are 7 lifestyle hacks to help you beat the heat and keep your body energised throughout the day:

Water, the saviour: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to compensate for the fluids lost through sweat. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses, and include electrolyte-rich drinks to maintain your body's salt balance. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and headaches, so keep a water bottle handy and take regular sips.

Opt for light and nutritious meals: Choose light, easily digestible meals rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Heavy, greasy foods can make you feel sluggish and uncomfortable in the heat. Foods like watermelon, cucumber, and salads are refreshing and also help keep you hydrated.

Get proper sleep: Make sure  to get 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. The heat can interfere with sleep patterns, so keep your bedroom cool and dark, and establish a regular sleep routine. Good rest is essential for recharging your body and mind.

Exercise smart: Engage in physical activity during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late evening. Low-impact exercises like walking, yoga, or swimming can help boost your energy levels without overheating your body.

Wear light, breathable clothing: Wear clothes made from natural fibres like cotton or linen. These materials allow your skin to breathe and keep you cool, preventing overheating and excessive sweating.

Take cool showers: A cool shower can refresh your body and lower your core temperature. It also helps wash away sweat, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and more active.

Limit caffeine and alcohol: Both caffeine and alcohol can contribute to dehydration. While a morning coffee can give a temporary energy boost, excessive consumption can lead to energy crashes later in the day. Prefer herbal teas or natural juices instead.
