The scorching temperatures have reached Kosovo and Europe, leaving many confused about what to do during these days.
We know that it is important to drink plenty of fluids during the heat: it is essential that we remain hydrated to protect our kidneys.
But there's a debate, writes Periscope, whether we should drink cold or hot.
The theory behind the selection of hot drinks is that it temporarily heated them up. This causes your body to sweat and thus cool [not to contract the disease but to have the colder temperature]. The human body can produce up to two liters of sweat in an hour, the most effective way to reduce body temperature.
But if that liquid [the bag] isn't replaced then you'll soon become dehydrated so some recommend you escape hot drinks. Some say that you should not consume too much tea or coffee, since they contain caffeine that causes dehydranation. /Periscope
