This summer is definitely a scorcher.

This year alone, there were 947 record warm daily high temperatures recorded across the U.S., according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. (NOAA)

Even though it is the perfect time to work on that summer tan, it is important for you to learn how to keep cool...

Especially if you’re going through menopause!

Did you know that hot flashes, one of the most infamous symptoms of menopause, can be triggered by high heat?

If you’re not careful, overheating your body can also cause more serious symptoms like heat stroke or hyperthermia.

So, to help you beat the heat and stay cool this summer, we will not only be sharing tips to help keep you cool without AC, but we’ve also included some effective hacks to stave off hot flashes too:

Tips to stay cool without AC

Cool your pressure points — a suitably placed towel, cooling pad or a bandana soaked in cold water will do nicely to lower your temperature. Major pressure points that are important to keep cool are your ankles, wrists, neck, or elbows.

Switch up your fan game — placing your fans in the right spot can be a huge game changer if you’re looking to keep cool. Window fans that are pulling in air should be placed on the first floor, at the shadiest and coolest part of the home. A fan that's expelling the hot air out of the house should be placed at the sunnier, hotter side of the 2nd floor.

Block out the light — try to keep your windows closed during the day and open at night. Additionally, investing in blackout curtains can help trap cool air inside and prevent heat from coming in. Blackout curtains have been said to reduce heat transfer through windows by as much as 24%.

Keep ice bottles handy — reaching for a hot water bottle might be the last thing you want to do, but trust us when we say it can help cool you down.
Fill your hot water bottle (or a regular bottle) with tap water and put it in the freezer till it ices up. These handy ice bottles can help lower your temperature when you sleep when you place them at your feet, one of the most sensitive parts of your body.

Munch on foods with high water content — a tasty alternative to drinking water is filling up on foods with high water content.
Fruits & vegetables like melons, cucumbers, lemons, grapes, leafy greens and berries are good choices and can be even blended with ice for a cooling & refreshing blended smoothie.

Tips to stave off hot flashes

Having a well-balanced diet — filling up on protein and healthy fats from fishes and cutting down on processed foods and sugar is a great way to start.
Protein and fat can help maintain healthy levels of hormones and nerve function, so consuming your fill of protein from omega 3 fatty-acids from cold water fish & ground flaxseed are great alternatives.

Avoid Trigger Foods — every person’s trigger food is different, and they are more likely to cause hot flashes if consumed at night. Common triggers include caffeine, alcohol and foods that are sugary or spicy. One way to keep track of your triggers is by keeping a symptom diary.

Try relaxing activities — having high stress release of a substance called epinephrine, which increases body temperature and sweating. Which is why relaxing yourself with activities you love doing may help reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes.

Here are some popular relaxation activities include:

• yoga
• mediation
• tai chi
• acupuncture
• massages
• breathing exercises

Add phytoestrogens to your diet — phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant compounds that can help balance hormones during menopause. Foods rich in phytoestrogens include turmeric, moringa leaf extract, tofu, tempeh, flaxseeds, linseeds, sesame seeds and beans.

Consume enough water a day — dehydration might be a possible trigger for hot flashes as well. Hydration affects your hot flashes because the body’s thermostat is also the key sensor for your level of thirst. So if you feel thirsty, the hypothalamus may respond by kicking up your body temperature via a hot flash in an attempt to get you to drink more water.
