Stay cool in summer

Stay cool in summer

The summer’s off to a sizzling start. With the sun beating down on our head and the temperature soaring unbearably, here are a few tips that will help you weather the heat:

DRESS FOR THE HEAT I

Wear lightweight, light-coloured clothing. Light colours will reflect away some of the sun’s energy. It is also a good idea to wear hats or to use an umbrella.

DRINK WATER I

Carry water or juice with you and drink continuously even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate the body.

EAT SMALL MEALS I

Eat smaller meals and eat more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein which increase metabolic heat.

AVOID USING SALT TABLETS I

Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician.

SLOW DOWN I

Avoid strenuous activity. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually in the morning between 4 am and 7 am.

TAKE REGULAR BREAKS I

When engaged in physical activity on warm days, take time out to find a cool place. If you or someone else experience symptoms of a heat-related illness, stop all activity and find a cool place to rest.

HAIRY TALES I

Keep your hair off the neck, either by cutting it shorter or by twisting it up into a big clip or a ponytail.
