濕度是如何影響你的身心健康的

It's not just the heat that can negatively impact your body and affect your health during the warm summer months — it's also the humidity. Humidity is the concentration of moisture or water vapor in the air (via Bustle). The ideal moisture level for maximum comfort and health is between 30% and 60%. If there is too much moisture in the air, however, the humidity will be high and uncomfortable.

在炎熱的夏季，不僅僅是高溫會對你的身體造成負面影響，影響你的健康，還有濕度。濕度是空氣中水分或水蒸氣的濃度。最舒適和健康的濕度水平是30% 至60% 之間。然而，如果空氣中有太多的水分，濕度就會很高而且不舒服。

That's because too much humidity can alter the body's perception of heat and make it difficult for it to cool itself off. "You may feel more uncomfortable on a humid day because your body is not as easily able to evaporate the sweat on your skin, due to the moisture in the air," Christina L. Belitsky, a physician assistant with healthcare provider Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care, told Bustle. The evaporation of sweat is what allows your body to cool down in the first place. If this is unable to happen, however, your body can overheat and become dehydrated.

這是因為過多的濕度會改變身體對熱量的感知，使其難以自行降溫。“在潮濕的天氣里，你可能會覺得更不舒服，因為空氣中的水分使你的身體不能輕松地蒸發(fā)皮膚上的汗水,”醫(yī)療保健提供者 Northwell Health-GoHealth 緊急護理醫(yī)師助理克里斯蒂娜 · l · 貝利茨基(Christina l. Belitsky)告訴 Bustle。汗水的蒸發(fā)可以讓你的身體在第一時間降溫。然而，如果不能做到這一點，你的身體會過熱并脫水。

You can stay cool in the heat and humidity by following a handful of simple and effective tips and techniques. For instance, one way to beat the heat and humidity is to drink and eat cold foods and beverages (via Temperature Master). Eating salads and fruits or drinking cold water and sports drinks can actually lower your core body temperature and help keep you hydrated so you don't accidentally overheat.

你可以通過以下幾個簡單而有效的方法在炎熱和潮濕的環(huán)境中保持涼爽。例如，其中一種方法就是食用冷飲。吃沙拉和水果或者喝冷水和運動飲料，實際上可以降低你的核心體溫，幫助你保持水分，這樣你就不會過熱。

Wearing clothes made from cotton can also help you stay cool. Cotton is a light and breathable fabric that can easily allow heat to escape. It's also a moisture-wicking fabric, which means that it can actually help keep you dry by moving moisture away from your skin. When it comes to indoor humidity, however, you can help cool yourself off by turning on a fan or cranking up the AC. If you have air conditioning in your house or apartment, you can beat the humidity by setting the temperature to 65 degrees. This will help make it cool enough so that you won't sweat and overheat. If you don't have air conditioning, putting a fan in your doorway can help create a light breeze, which will have a similar effect.

穿棉質(zhì)衣服也可以幫助你保持涼爽。棉布是一種輕薄透氣的織物，可以輕易地散發(fā)熱量。它也是一種吸濕排汗的織物，這意味著它可以通過將水分從皮膚中移開來保持你的干燥。然而，當室內(nèi)濕度變大時，你可以通過打開風(fēng)扇或者開空調(diào)來降溫。如果你的房子或者公寓里有空氣調(diào)節(jié)，你可以把溫度設(shè)置到65度，這樣就可以避免潮濕。這將有助于使它足夠涼爽，你就不會出汗和過熱。如果你沒有空氣調(diào)節(jié)，在門口放一個風(fēng)扇可以幫助制造一陣微風(fēng)，也會產(chǎn)生類似的效果。
