Fresh foods, such as lettuce, cucumber, and celery, have a high water content which helps us to hydrate when we eat them. When it\u2019s particularly warm try to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and avoid eating meat. When our bodies break down meat we use extra energy, which causes us to sweat, otherwise known as the \u2018meat sweats\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/salad.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@elletakesphotos?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Elle Hughes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/flat-lay-photo-of-fruits-and-vegetables-1660027\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Go outside<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is a gentle summer breeze, then make sure to take regular breaks and go <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/top-day-trips-just-outside-of-amsterdam\/\">outside<\/a>.

Not only will the breeze help to cool you down, but regularly breathing fresh air increases productivity as it de-stresses the body and clears the mind.
