Honestly, I'm with you and I was gonna come on here and say something similar but my buddy is an electrician who works on new buildings and he deals with so goddamn much heat in those buildings that he can hardly function when he's not working. I'm all "go outside, drink electrolytes and lots of water, go swimming" but for some people this reality is hell.
Humans are adaptable. We live at the poles. We live in the deserts. I've enjoyed time in the Arctic and the Sahara.
I get what you're saying, but people also spend most of their lives in a 68-72 F / 19-21 C degree bubble. That trains the body only to accept homeostasis. Of course, three hours at 110 F one rooftop can be rough, but it's also a lot worse of that's 40 degrees away from what you spend 99% of your time at.
Less AC. Be outside more. Cold showers and mid-day workouts.
