To help prevent heat exhaustion or heatstroke: drink plenty of cold drinks, especially when exercising. Take cool baths or showers. Wear light coloured, loose clothing. Sprinkle water over your skin or clothes. Avoid the sun between 11am and 3pm. Avoid excess alcohol. Avoid extreme exercise. This will also help your body keep itself cool and prevent dehydration.

To help prevent heat exhaustion or heatstroke: drink more cold drinks, especially if you're active or exercising. Wear light-coloured, loose clothing. Avoid the sun between 11am and 3pm. Avoid excess alcohol. Avoid extreme exercise. If you're inside on a very hot day, close curtains, close windows if it's hotter outside than in your home and turn off electrical equipment and lights that get hot. This will also prevent dehydration and help your body keep itself cool. Children, older people and people with long-term health conditions are more at risk of heat exhaustion or heatstroke.

To maintain a safe body temperature, your body has to get rid of excess heat.
Staying hydrated is key to maintaining a healthy body temperature, particularly during exercise.
Drink plenty of fluids the day before and the day of physical activity.
During exercise, keep a drink handy that contains salt, electrolytes, and small amounts of sugar, such as Gatorade or Powerade to replenish those substances you have lost while sweating.
If you spend most of your time in the air conditioning and suddenly try to run five miles outdoors, your body might not be ready for that kind of heat exposure.
It’s safer to gradually expose yourself to activity outside during the summer.
People who are obese are at much greater risk for heat-related illnesses.
Carrying excess weight can affect your body’s ability to regulate its temperature and cause you to retain more heat.
Limit sun exposure when you’re outside by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and light, loose-fitting clothing.
Keep in mind the time of day you’ll be outside, as early mornings and late evenings are the coolest times of the day.
And always check the heat index, or the combination of the temperature and humidity levels, on a mobile app or online.
