Preventing Heat Stroke

When the heat index is high, it’s best to stay in an air-conditioned environment.

If you must go outdoors, you can prevent heat stroke by taking these steps

1.- Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, and a hat.

2.-Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more

3.-Drink extra fluids. To prevent dehydration, it’s generally recommended to drink at least eight glasses of water, fruit juice, or vegetable juice per day.

4.-When exercising . Drink before, during and after even if you don’t feel thirsty.

5.-Reschedule or cancel outdoor activity. If possible, shift your time outdoors to the coolest times of the day, either early morning or after sunset.
