How to cope with the heat? Buteyko Method Techniques

The main issue associated with overheating is that it triggers hyperventilation (over-breathing). If you breathe through the mouth or heavily through the nose, these health conditions and possibly others can worsen. To prevent this, avoid mouth-breathing and try to breathe silently through your nose.

Skin:
Heat escapes through the skin, which is the largest organ in the body. Help your skin get rid of heat excess by doing the following:
– Wear loose, light clothing made of natural, breathable fabric.
– When away from direct sunlight, wear clothes minimally. To protect yourself from excessive sun exposure, wear wide hats instead of using sun block.
– Swim in natural lakes, rivers, and other natural water reservoirs.
– Start a day by taking a cold shower; if needed, do this several times daily.
– Do Sasha’s facial as often as needed.
Learn how to turn extreme temperatures (hot and cold) into your allies.

Food:
Prioritize water-filled foods – cucumbers, other raw vegetables, or fruits such as watermelon or grapes. Of course, it is preferable to eat organic.

Water:
Drink plenty of water. Add ice and a pinch of unrefined salt to your water, turning it into ice Buteyko tea. This will help you to stay hydrated.

Night time:
– Sleep with mouth tape to prevent heavy mouth breathing and snoring.
– During the daytime, keep the curtains or blinds shut down to keep the room cool.
– Use natural, breathable bedding made from bamboo, silk, or cotton.
– Sleeping naked helps to keep a body temperature on the low side.

Physical activity:
– Exercise outdoors early in the morning when the temperature is not hot.
– Exercise in an air-conditioned gym
– Don’t quit exercising because it is hot. Keep building your CO2!

And remember: the higher your Control or Positive Maximum Pause is, the less affected you will be by hot or/and humid weather. Learn about CO2 levels in the lungs supportive of optimal health.
