Ways to avoid heat-related illnesses
People should take precautions while outside to avoid any heat-related illnesses. Ambulance service MedStar offers the following five hot-weather tips:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water during the day, especially during strenuous activity. Sports drinks are also a good choice.
- Ventilate: Stay where there is plenty of air circulating to keep your body cool. If you are indoors without air conditioning, open windows and use a fan.
- Cover up: Wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing to avoid absorbing the sun’s light and trapping heat. Wear a hat to shield yourself from the sun, but remove any items covering your head if you feel yourself getting warm, as they can trap heat.
- Limit activity: Heatstroke can occur in less than an hour when you are participating in strenuous activity on a hot day. If you are getting hot or light-headed, stop and rest in a cool place out of the sun.
- Check on loved ones: The elderly are especially vulnerable to heat-related emergencies and may not be aware of how hot it can get in their homes. Call on older friends and family members regularly to make sure they are OK.
