\n Don\u2019t jump into a cold shower after sun exposure<\/strong><\/p>\n \n The expert warns UK<\/a> travellers coming to Spain<\/a> that a\u00a0sudden temperature drop can “shock your system”.\n<\/p>\n \n She has, instead, recommended cooling down gradually, using lukewarm water and cooling cloths.\n<\/p>\n Don\u2019t rely on fans alone<\/strong><\/p>\n \n While they can be a useful tool, fans can also circulate hot air once the room temperature exceeds 35C.\n<\/p>\n \n These should be combined\u00a0with cold water bottles, mist sprays, or damp sheets for better results.\n<\/p>\n Avoid rich, salty meals during the day<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Digesting heavy foods can sometimes raise\u00a0your body temperature. Travellers should try eating\u00a0light, water-rich snacks like fruit, salad\u00a0and yoghurt.\n<\/p>\n Don\u2019t leave bottled water or tech in direct sunlight<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Plastic bottles may leach chemicals in extreme heat, and devices left on sun loungers can overheat quickly or become damaged.\n<\/p>\n Don\u2019t walk barefoot on pool tiles or roof terraces<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Surfaces can reach “scorching” temperatures and cause burns. The expert has called on Brits to always wear sandals or flip-flops, even for short distances.\n<\/p>\n Recommended Reading:\u00a0<\/p>\n Avoid napping in non-air-conditioned rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Sleeping in extreme heat can increase your risk of heat exhaustion.
