1／常備消暑茶療
烈日當空，人總想來一杯凍飲以解暑氣，但其實當人處於炎熱狀態，再快速喝一杯冰凍飲品，其實會為身體帶來負擔。想消暑解悶熱，不如在外出前預先準備微涼的清熱茶療，倒入保溫瓶中，既環保又可長期保持涼快，隨時為你消除暑熱，減低中暑的機會。

做法：
所有材料洗淨。西瓜翠衣及冬瓜切塊備用，鍋內加入2000毫升水，加入所有材料，武火煮至水滾，改文火煮30分鐘， 調入適量冰糖，放涼後倒入保溫瓶裡。

2/ 呼吸道不適按太淵穴
人多擠逼空氣不流通，又或是因空氣混濁而出現咳嗽、氣喘、呼吸困難或鼻敏感的症狀，可即時按壓天突穴紓緩呼吸道不適。太淵穴為肺的原穴，有改善呼吸系統的功能，可紓緩咳嗽、呼吸困難及鼻敏感症狀。

3/ 自備濕冰巾消暑
炎熱天氣下，不少人都會用退熱貼為身體散熱，其實一條濕毛巾也有消暑的作用。近年冰巾大行其道，價錢又便宜，不妨在家中先把冰巾浸濕，再放入密實袋中，覺得炎熱時就可用冰巾輕抹頸後及額頭，也可抹去黏笠的汗水更見乾爽。當冰巾開始乾時，可以將冰巾放入密實袋中再注少量清水，又可重複使用。

4/ 夏日要穿得對
要清涼不一定要穿得少，選擇薄身的綿質或麻質衣物更見通爽，而長袖衫及鬆身長褲更可保護皮膚不受猛烈太陽曬傷。另外，也不妨帶定太陽眼鏡及可遮擋UV的雨傘更穩妥。
