PERSONAL COOLING<\/h1>\n
When trying to stay comfortable in summer a great place to start is with your body. Click the tips below for more information about how your body deals with temperature and how to make that work in your favour.

This process is called acclimatisation and plays an important role in how you tolerate heat and cold. <\/p>\n<p>Acclimatisation occurs over a period of about two weeks in healthy people. The process is faster in response to heat, but slower in the cold. <\/p>\n<p>Your physical condition, age, and other factors also affect how your body copes with heat and cold. For example lean people tolerate heat better than obese people. <\/p>\n<p>As a person ages the body\u2019s response to temperature change (i.e. sweating in high temperatures and shivering in low temperatures) is delayed and reduced.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-649-1\" data-target=\"#84f3937773c4354df\" href=\"#84f3937773c4354df\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">CIRCULATE AIR ON YOUR SKIN<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"84f3937773c4354df\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content\">\nEvaporation of sweat is the most effective bodily cooling process. If you have air circulating next to your skin, it will help to evaporate the perspiration, and this will make you feel cooler. Typically, the air flow created by a fan provides a similar improvement to comfort as reducing the air temperature by around 3\u00b0C. Wearing short sleeves maximises this benefit.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-649-1\" data-target=\"#e809cd87acff69080\" href=\"#e809cd87acff69080\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">DRINK PLENTY OF WATER<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"e809cd87acff69080\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content\">\nStaying hydrated is key. If you don\u2019t drink enough water, you can start to become unwell, with symptoms of headache and tiredness. Remember, beverages with alcohol, caffeine and high sugar content are not as effective at keeping you hydrated.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-649-1\" data-target=\"#298b23e10ecb3664e\" href=\"#298b23e10ecb3664e\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">BEWARE OF HEAT STRESS<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"298b23e10ecb3664e\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content\">\nHeat can cause illness such as cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stoke.

You can also carry around a wet face washer on the back of your neck, or bathe your feet in a basin of water. At night you can try spraying your sheets before going to bed, or have a damp towel handy.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-649-1\" data-target=\"#f77fc4a53073fc682\" href=\"#f77fc4a53073fc682\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">TAKE A LUKEWARM SHOWER OR BATH<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"f77fc4a53073fc682\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content\">\nA very cold shower or bath will lower your body temperature so quickly that the body will scramble to raise it again to regain homoeostasis, or balance. As a result it\u2019s better to use lukewarm water (between 20\u00b0C and 30\u00b0C) rather than very cold water. This should be cool enough to lower the deep body temperature but warm enough not to restrict the blood flow to the surface of the skin.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-649-1\" data-target=\"#5592665936d6a217b\" href=\"#5592665936d6a217b\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"5592665936d6a217b\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content\">\nNatural fabrics like linen and cotton absorb sweat and allow air circulation to your skin. They\u2019re much better than man-made fibres like polyester, which can leave you hot and uncomfortable. <\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the colour of your clothes, white is good if you\u2019re out in direct sunlight a lot – it will reflect the heat better than any other colour. So wear lightweight, lightcoloured, loose clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible when outside in the sun. But if you\u2019re spending time in the shade or indoors, black or dark short sleeved clothing is more effective as it radiates out heat into your environment, cooling you down.<\/p>\n<p>Dampening your clothes can also help. In order for the water to evaporate (changing its state from a liquid to a gas) there needs to be an input of heat energy. This energy will come from the heat of your body, which produces a cooling effect to your skin, lowering your body temperature. If you use a fan as well, the air blowing over your skin speeds up the process of evaporation, helping you to feel even cooler.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-649-1\" data-target=\"#e1913a935bbdc78e0\" href=\"#e1913a935bbdc78e0\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">REST DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"e1913a935bbdc78e0\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content\">\nRushing around or exercising vigorously in hot and humid weather can be challenging and even dangerous. Try to schedule outdoor activities such as gardening or trips to outdoor shops and markets, for earlier or later in the day, and avoid physical exertion during the hottest part of the day between 11am \u2013 4pm.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-649-1\" data-target=\"#0d37cdf898234a4e1\" href=\"#0d37cdf898234a4e1\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">VISIT COOL PUBLIC PLACES<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"0d37cdf898234a4e1\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content\">\nIf your accommodation is too hot, consider going to a cool public place such as an air conditioned store, shopping centre, movie theatre, gallery or public pool to keep cool, or visit a friend or family member that has an air conditioned home. The Free Bus in Wollongong also has air conditioning.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"\n<title>Personal Cooling -
