In late July 2026 Romanian health officials issued a series of recommendations to help the public cope with extreme heat. On 29 July, the advice focused on diet, urging people to limit consumption of hot peppers, garlic, asparagus, beetroot and spinach when temperatures soar above 35 °C, as these foods can aggravate dehydration and raise perceived heat. Instead, water‑rich fruits and light meals were promoted.

The following day, the guidance expanded to address heat‑related physiological issues such as hyperhidrosis. Experts outlined causes and treatments for excessive sweating and highlighted sauna use as a possible method to improve heat tolerance, citing studies that link regular heat exposure to more efficient sweating and reduced cardiovascular strain. Together, the two briefings illustrate a broader public‑health effort to mitigate heat‑wave impacts through both dietary and lifestyle strategies.
