how to cool body - #22700

Sai

I am starting to feel really worried about how to cool body during this crazy heat wave. Like last weekend, we went to a family BBQ, and I thought I could handle it but wow, I felt so overheated and almost dizzy after just an hour outside. I've been trying to drink more water, like, really gulp it down, but it doesn't seem enough. I even put a wet cloth on my forehead but that didn’t help much either. My friend said running cool water on the wrists can help cool body temp, but is that really true? I also heard about ice packs but wasn’t sure where to put them for the best effect... I tried under my armpits, but it was kinda uncomfortable! There’s just too many tips online about how to cool body that I can’t figure out what actually works. I mean, should I just stay inside all summer? Like, I love being outdoors but this heat... it’s so unbearable! Anyone have tips on how to cool body effectively without feeling like I'm melting? I need advice from people who know what they are talking about, please!
