5 tips to prevent heat stroke amid soaring temperatures

Soaring temperatures can increase the risk of heat stroke. Here are five essential safety tips to help you prevent heat stroke in summer.

Avoid heavy exercise during peak hours

Avoid doing intense workouts and exerting yourself during peak hours. Step outdoors for exercise in the early hours or late evenings. 

Stay hydrated 

Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to prevent dehydration. Drink water and fruit juices to stay refreshed and energetic. 

Avoid alcohol consumption 

Avoid alcohol consumption, as it can affect the body's ability to regulate temperature.

Opt for light fabrics 

Opt for light clothing and fabrics such as cotton and linen, as they help the heat escape the body and keep you cool.

Avoid hot and heavy meals

Include cooling and hydrating foods in your diet, such as cucumber, watermelons and curd, which help reduce body heat and maintain an optimal temperature.
