Tips for staying cool
• Wear light, loose fitting clothes.
• Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol. Drink plenty of water regularly and often; your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty.
• Avoid caffeinated drinks (tea, coffee, colas) and high-sugar drinks.
• Eat smaller meals. Choose salads, fruits or vegetables.
• Keep athletic activities to a minimum. Go swimming instead of jogging.
• Suck on ice chips.
• Slow down. 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 and 7 a.m.
• Stay indoors as much as possible. If air conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor, out of the sunshine. Try to go to a public building with air conditioning each day for several hours.
• Put a wet towel or cold pack on your head.
• If you don't have air conditioning, make sure rooms are well-ventilated.
