In the hot summer, we tend to rely on air conditioning. It may be cool and comfortable, but it also slows down your metabolism and is not good for your body. Would you like to reset your body, which has become so dependent on air conditioning? Exposure to the natural breeze and sweating can help free your mind and are recommended.
