hypothesize

“There’s research that has been hypothesized that the brain functions better in colder compared to hotter environments due to available glucose used by the brain, which is lower in higher temperatures as the body expends more energy to cool the body down,” says family medicine physician Kim Yu, MD.

“Heat stroke is also critical to recognize, as it can be fatal,” she adds. “Symptoms include feeling confused, a throbbing headache, nausea or vomiting, very hot, dry skin, loss of consciousness or seizures and rapid pulse.

暑い中に長時間居ると確かに頭痛あるなぁ。
hypothalamus
意味 [C] [解剖] 視床下部.
Your body’s temperature is regulated by an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. It can turn your body’s temperature up or down by determining how hot or cold your skin is, and pulse points have the biggest influence on the inner workings of this.

首に保冷剤当ててこまめに左右入れ替えるだけで、風呂上がりでもすぐクールダウンできるからね。直接冷やすの効く。
今年の暑さ対策で一番のヒットは、保冷剤常備するために冷凍庫（車載用の小さいやつ）を買ったことだな。在宅なのですぐに取り換えられるし、寝てる間エアコンなしで生きられたのは保冷剤のおかげ。
no-brainer
意味 [C] (くだけて)[単数形で]すぐにわかる [できる] こと; 朝飯前のこと.
It might sound like a no-brainer, but keep your windows and blinds closed on hot days. It can be tempting to let in fresh air, but when you do this, you’re letting in hot air and direct sunlight that will raise the temperature of the room, and it can take hours for that heat to dissipate. When the sun begins to set and the temps get below 75, feel free to crack a window, since this can encourage the indoor temperature to drop.

With heat comes sweating. Since our cells are approximately 70 percent water, dehydration can lead to a loss of strength and stamina, flushing, fatigue, and fast breathing. No, not exactly your ideal work setup.

enticing
意味 魅惑的な, 心惹かれる.
Avoid heavily caffeinated drinks since these can dehydrate the body. But is plain water doesn’t do it for you, try adding a splash of fruit juice or fresh mint to make it more enticing to drink. (Bonus: Peppermint is known for its cooling effects!)
