I have a tip on how to stay cool in hot weather. Heat is generated in many ways throughout the day and around the house. Our bodies produce heat through activities like excessive movement and digestion. To stay cooler, consider eating a lighter meal or splitting your food into smaller portions to reduce metabolic heat. You may find a water fast to replace a meal can help too. Going for lighter meals like salads and sandwiches may not only help minimize body heat, but by not using stoves and ovens, you don’t heat up the air inside your house. Alternatively, use crock pots, slow cookers, or appliances like rice steamers or air fryers outdoors. Computers also generate significant heat, so keep your PC or laptop running efficiently by closing unused programs and minimizing the number of tabs and browser windows open.
Some guffaws will help you stay happy today, so the joke of the day seems like the right choice. This one’s called “Expensive Ring.”
In the morning, upon waking up, a woman said to her husband:
“Honey, I just had a wonderful dream. In the dream, I saw you in a big, fancy jewelry store, and you were buying me a gorgeous diamond ring!”
“Strange, sweetie – I had the same dream, but in it, your wealthy dad was paying the bill.”
