BEST WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM HEATSTROKE

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol, as they can dehydrate you.

Wear Light Clothing

Dress in lightweight, loose-fitting, and light- colored clothing. This helps your body regulate its temperature more effectively.

Use Sunscreen

Apply sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from sunburn, which can make it harder for your body to cool down.

Limit Sun Exposure

Try to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you need to be outside, seek shade whenever possible.

Use Fans or Air Conditioning

Stay in air-conditioned places as much as possible. If you don't have air conditioning at home, spend time in public places like shopping malls, libraries, or community centers.

Eat Light Meals

Consume smaller, lighter meals that are easier to digest. Avoid hot and heavy meals that can increase your body's heat production.

Check for symptoms

Be aware of the signs of heatstroke, such as high body temperature, altered mental state or behavior, nausea, and flushed skin.
