Almost everywhere the construction sites start up again.
We all know outdoor work can be physically challenging. Heat wave or not, even the strongest builder will give you a smile for some cooled drinks.
Tip for today
If you have a construction site near you, bring them some chilled drinks.
Should you drink hot drinks in hot weather?
It does seem illogical that drinking something hot would make you feel cool. But there is actually hard science behind the old wives’ tale after all.
According to research, drinking hot drinks on hot, dry days can reduce body temperature and can thus cool you down. … IF the circumstances are ideal.
Drinking hot drinks makes you sweat disproportionately more. This overreaction CAN cool you down IF the sweat can evaporate off your body. If not (because of the clothes you are wearing or due to the weather), then the hot drink will probably just make you sweatier and hotter.
Since construction workers are usually dressed, I suggest you stick to refreshing cold beverages.
