With the onset of summer, people, for quite understandable reasons, begin to be interested in the question: how to survive the heat without harm to health.

Clothing is of no small importance, so today we propose to discuss what is best to wear in June, July and August.

On hot days, it is recommended to wear light-colored clothing that attracts less sun rays.

Preference should be given to natural fabrics such as cotton and linen.

Wide-brimmed hats, umbrellas, sunglasses and veils protect not only from high temperatures and overheating, but also from ultraviolet radiation, which accelerates skin aging.

Why is this important? The fact is that UV rays break down the oil molecules in the skin, forming peroxide and damaging cell membranes, causing the skin to become dry.

In this regard, the clothing of some peoples is of particular interest, for example, the Turkmen, who in hot weather can wear fur hats, wadded robes and boots.

Don't be too quick to be horrified: these wardrobe items create a kind of protective barrier that prevents moisture loss.

When a person opens such clothes, air currents are formed that effectively cool the skin. Thus, traditional clothes allow local residents to survive in regions with hot climates.
