 Heat can affect anyone. However, it is more likely to affect young children, elderly people and people with health problems. Consult a physician if you have any questions about how your medication may affect your ability to tolerate heat. Heat cramps, exhaustion and heat strokes are very serious conditions that can occur from a heat wave and if not treated they can be life threatening.
How to Prevent Illness during a Heat Wave
- Stay inside as much as possible. If air conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor, out of the sunshine.
- Remember, electric fans do not cool the air, but they do help sweat evaporate, which cools your body.
- Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing when out in the sun.
- Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity.
- Drink plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, which dehydrate the body. Water is the best liquid to drink.
- Eat smaller meals, more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein, because they raise metabolic heat.
