Many things in life change. But some don\u2019t. And the Texas heat is one of those things that just won\u2019t ever go away.<\/p>\nMany things in life change. But some don\u2019t. And the Texas heat is one of those things that just won\u2019t ever go away.<\/p>\n
…But fortunately you live in an innovative country, one where people\u2019s creativity never ends.<\/p>\n
So that means even in a Texas disrupted by coronavirus, you can still keep cool.<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s today\u2019s list of suggestions:<\/p>\n
1. Create an Outdoor Cool Area<\/strong><\/p>\n You can do a lot here. Install a simple water misting system. They\u2019re affordable. You can get them on Amazon for $50 – $100.<\/p>\n Buy a cheap kiddie pool for both your young ones and your feet.<\/p>\n Use umbrellas, sheets, a retractable awning…whatever you can come up with for shade.<\/p>\n 2. Sleep in Cotton Blankets<\/strong><\/p>\n Cotton? Yes. Cotton.<\/p>\n Cotton has a lower thread count, which means lesser weaving per square inch and more breathability.<\/p>\n And the lower the thread count you get with cotton, obviously the better.<\/p>\n So add cotton blankets to your home if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n 3. Foods You Can Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes. You can eat foods that help you keep cool. Staying cool isn\u2019t just about drinking lots of water and using ice packs.<\/p>\n Frozen treats are an obvious choice. But they can make you pack on the pounds.<\/p>\n To eat healthy and stay cool, eat cucumbers, apples, peaches, lemons, leafy greens, and citrus fruits.<\/p>\n Spicy foods also make good sense during hot weather. That seems odd at first, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n Well, the truth is that if you eat spicy foods, they can trigger sweating. It\u2019s because of capsaicin, which you find in abundance in chili.<\/p>\n However, when you sweat, the air around you has to have lower humidity.<\/p>\n If it\u2019s extremely humid out, your sweat doesn\u2019t have anywhere to evaporate to because the air\u2019s already moist.<\/p>\n 4. Go on a Cave Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n Seriously? Who thinks of this in Texas, and especially so during the pandemic.<\/p>\n Texas has several caves you can visit: Wonder World Cave, Natural Bridge Caverns, Inner Space Cavern, and Cascade Caverns, among others.<\/p>\n The average cave\u2019s temperature hovers around 70 degrees.<\/p>\n So that\u2019s a good way to stay cool and have fun.<\/p>\n
