Why heat puts a strain on our bodies

Physical effects of high temperatures

Above 30 degrees, our body starts to sweat – in the truest sense of the word. The blood vessels dilate, the circulation is strained and blood pressure drops. The heart has to work harder and concentration decreases. Frequent consequences are headaches, dizziness, tiredness and sleep problems.

Who is particularly at risk

Children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with pre-existing conditions are particularly susceptible to heat stress. But healthy adults also feel the strain, especially during physical activity, in poorly ventilated rooms or when traveling.

Cooling down in summer: 7 everyday tips

1. clothing that breathes

Light, light-colored clothing made of cotton or linen helps to regulate body temperature. Tight and synthetic fabrics retain heat and should be avoided.

2. drink properly, but how?

2-3 liters a day are a must. Still water or unsweetened tea is best. Ice-cold drinks only cool you down briefly and also upset your circulation.

3. cleverly cool rooms

Ventilate well early in the morning and in the evening. Darken windows during the day and keep them closed. Fans improve the indoor climate, even with a damp cloth in front of them.

4. cold showers: yes or no?

Lukewarm water helps better than ice-cold water. It does not signal a counter-reaction to the body and cools gently. Cold showers over the forearms, neck and feet have a refreshing effect.

5. adapt movement instead of suspending it

Exercise in hot weather is stressful. Exercise early in the morning or late in the evening is best. If you can, postpone intensive tasks to cooler days.

6. the right foods to combat heat stress

Light food with plenty of water: cucumbers, melons, salads. Salt helps to compensate for mineral losses. Avoid heavy, fatty dishes.

7 Smart helpers like the ChillNeck

Targeted cooling of the neck can help shut down the whole body. The ChillNeck does just that, without any electricity or chemicals. Simply put it on, relax and noticeably cool down.

ChillNeck. What’s behind it?

How it works

The ChillNeck contains a phase-change material (PCM) that slowly melts when it comes into contact with the body and cools constantly. No electricity, no rechargeable battery and often tap water or shade is enough to recharge it.

Why it helps when it gets hot

There are large blood vessels in the neck. If this area is cooled, the perceived body temperature drops significantly. This increases well-being and noticeably reduces heat stress.

Sustainable, reusable, electricity-free

The ChillNeck can be reused hundreds of times. It is free from harmful substances, works without electricity and does not require freezing. A smart tool for everyday life, travel, sport or work.
