i always make sure to store a 2 big pails of water at night and use it for bathing in the morning. refill the same afterwards and bath again in the afternoon.

2 baths in a day is enough for me :-)

2) you are so busy...do you have time for 1 bath? :)

First bath before going to the office

Noon

second bath when you get home from the office

Afternoon

third before going back to the office

fourth is taken after you arrive home from the office

Evening

fifth before you step out for a night out/dinner/coffee/workout/exercise/etc.(in my case i do my work out at night time)

the final bath before hitting the bed.

In my previous work/company, where I used to do field work (cargo business) and we were always under the heat of the sun, I always:

1) keep and drink cold water/juice (avoid softdrinks)

2) moist/wet a face towel and wrap it around my head and neck

3) wear something cool that will cover most of your skin but still thin to let the air pass

4) wear my Oakley

5) etc.

Best is to make ur mind ready to bear the heat or go to Iceland.

Take lot of water

lot of minerals.. i mean lot of juices

lot of salads

stop hard drinks.. ONLY BEER

Take regular baths

Never switch off ur Car AC as petrol is damn cheap.

Install intelligent AC in ur home & have ur room chilled to 16 Deg even before u reach home

Guys... anything else i might have forgotten... plz add

Lal786 if you go out make sure you have plenty of water, I always take a bottle that has been frozen as it goes warm really quickly just from the fridge

air conditioning, stay indoors except early morning and late evening when it is more bearable.

If all else fails do what Bakamuna suggests, build an igloo ;)
