It's getting hot in Germany.
Still, everyone has to shop.
You should definitely bear this in mind when shopping in the heat.
Frankfurt - Next week it should be up to 40 degrees hot in Germany.
A real furnace.
But that doesn't change the fact that you still have to go shopping at Aldi, Lidl, Rewe and Co. for your daily needs.
Especially in the heat, this can lead to health problems, but also to logistical problems.
In order to be prepared for this, there are a few tips for the right behavior when shopping in summer.
You should take note of these.
Heat tips when shopping: You should keep this in mind for your health
For older people in particular, hot days can be very exhausting and hard on the body.
You should therefore use times for shopping when the heat has either not yet fully built up or has already weakened again.
This is particularly the case between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The best way to find out when it is particularly cool is to look at the regional weather forecast.
According to the
Apotheken Umschau
, a very underestimated factor is fluid intake.
Especially on hot and sunny days, even in the morning or in the evening, you should always have water or a spritzer with you in the car to provide your body with enough to drink.

Speaking of the car, this is also preferable on such days, as it offers comfortable transport and sun protection.
A fully packed bike and then even longer distances can take a toll on the body, but also on the purchases.
If you cannot find a shady parking space, a cover is recommended.
It allows the car not to overheat.
Go shopping early or late
Sun protection for the parking lot
take a drink with you
No great physical exertion
Heat tips when shopping at Aldi, Lidl and Co. - You should consider this when making your purchases
In addition to the health aspect, according to
chip
, it is also important to think about the purchases, because a lot can go wrong here and, in the worst case, also have an impact on your health.
It is best to always use a cool bag for fresh goods so that they cannot spoil, otherwise the purchase will quickly become a disappointment.
The subsequent transport home should also take place as quickly as possible in order not to interrupt the cold chain for too long.

According to the state-supported portal
Lebensmittel-Info
, care should be taken when shopping to ensure that the cold chains are not broken.
It is better not to take goods that are stacked too high or lying next to the shelf.
Ice cream products should only be bought if the transport route is very short, otherwise they will melt.
Tips for grocery shopping in the heat:
Always pay attention to the cold chain
Bring or buy a cool bag
Only transport fresh and perishable food over short distances
Fresh and perishable foods should also be eaten as soon as possible, because heat also shortens their shelf life here.
