Hurrah for the warm weather, long sunny days, ice cream vans, paddling pools and picnics in the park. Summer is upon us at last and there are many reasons to be happy! Sadly, for some, the heat and humidity are just too much to cope with. Many of us Northern Europeans are just not genetically built to tolerate the rising temperatures. Our bodies have been programmed to conserve body heat during long cold winters and our homes are designed to keep us warm not cool. One of the consequences of this can be sweating excessively. At times this can be localised to specific areas of the body but in other cases it can be an all-out body meltdown. Either way, its likely to make you feel highly uncomfortable, embarrassed, socially awkward, and professionally challenged. It can interfere with everyday activities in both an emotional and physical level and can become such an inconvenience that its enough to wish summer would hurry up and end.
