The conclusion we must draw is that we should never go beyond what does us good. Brief spells of indirect sunlight are more beneficial and healing than the more common sunbathing. Moving around in the half-shade is a healthy exercise. People who suffer from high blood pressure and heart trouble should never expose themselves to intense heat or strong sunlight. Doing so could lead to sudden death.
When it is extremely hot you must be careful to avoid cooling down suddenly. Bathing in very cold water, for example in a mountain lake or a river with glacier water, can pose a great risk. Although I have mentioned the matter of drinking before, I would like to reiterate in this context that it is bad for us to drink water that is too cold. So, if you are on a mountain tour and nothing but cold water from a spring is at hand, add a little thirst-quenching Molkosan but no sugar and sip the water slowly while insalivating well. In this way you will avoid the chilling effect your body would otherwise experience and your thirst will be quenched much better than if you had taken a sweet soft drink. It is thus worthwhile putting a small bottle of Molkosan in your rucksack when going on a hike in the summer.
