What are the heatstroke prevention and cooling measures in hot weather?

Go out for sun protection

Try to avoid moving or staying in the hot sun or high temperature environment for a long time. Unless necessary, don't walk or engage in manual labor in the high temperature exposure for a long time after 10 in the morning and before 4 pm. If you have to go out, you should take sun protection measures, such as wearing light-colored loose clothes, wearing cool hats, sunglasses, umbrellas and sunscreen products. If you feel dizzy, choose a cool and ventilated place to rest as soon as possible and replenish water in time.

The elderly, children, pregnant women, the infirm, and patients with respiratory, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should avoid going out during the high temperature period at noon.

Indoor heatstroke prevention

Indoor ventilation can be maintained by sprinkling water on the ground, using electric fans and air conditioners to cool down, but the air conditioner temperature should not be too low. Old people should not stay at home in order to save electricity or get sick, which will lead to indoor heatstroke.

Working and living in an air-conditioned environment, you should spare some time for outdoor activities and heat-resistant exercise every day.

Healthy life

Drink more water, reduce the high-fat diet, increase the intake of foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits, and control the intake of high-sugar and alcoholic beverages and iced products.

Keep enough sleep, and avoid direct blowing of air conditioner and electric fan when sleeping. There are heatstroke prevention and cooling drugs at home, such as ten drops of water and essential balm, which should be used correctly according to the instructions.
