Sweat it out, to cool it down!

Most pregnant mum-to-be by now are experiencing episodes of "hot flushes" or/ and " rising body heat". You probably sweat easily, or may even feel tired easily due to the internal body heat.
If you're thinking of surrounding yourself with air-conditioners, think again.

Putting your body under air-conditioner environment for prolong hours, you may increase the chances of:
- sinus 
- catch a flu or virus
- chest tightness
- all other muscles and joints aches
Staying in cool room doesn't mean the heat has gone off.


Alternatively, a good way to release your body heat is through sweating.
Some good activities during pregnancy are highly recommended:
- walk
- swimming
- yoga ( sun salutation) * i will touch in this in the next post.

Basically, any low-impact exercises are suitable. Keeping your body active is essential to stay healthy. Through sweating, you will not only reduce body heat, internal toxin will also be expelled out from the body.


Do remember to drink lots of water to replenish!
