3. Wear light clothing.To keep your body cool, choose airy, loose-fitting, colorful textiles like cotton.
4. Use sunscreen:To protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent overheating, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
5. Take frequent breaks.To avoid overexerting yourself when working or exercising outdoors, rest periodically in a cool, shaded environment.
6. Take electrolytes:Sports drinks or coconut water can help you replenish lost salts and minerals, especially if you've been sweating a lot.
7. Eat light foods.Choose smaller, lighter, easier-to-digest meals whenever possible. Cucumber and watermelon are two great examples of fresh produce with a high water content.
8. Cold showers:Cold baths or showers will help you lower your body temperature. Alternatively, apply cold compresses or wet towels to your forehead, wrists, and neck.

10. Stay updated:Pay attention to heat advisories and weather forecasts. Make appropriate plans for your activities to avoid the hottest hours of the day.

Impacts of extreme heat stroke on the body:

1. Cardiac distress:Heat dissipation is aided by high temperatures, which make the heart work harder to maintain blood flow to the skin.
2. Dehydration:Excessive sweating causes electrolyte imbalances, acute dehydration and even kidney stress.
3. Cognitive ability:Heat can influence memory and judgment, among other cognitive functions. Severe cases can cause severe inflammation of the brain.
4. Mental health:Depression, anxiety and even suicide rates have been linked to higher temperatures.
5. Improved circulation:The more blood that reaches the skin, the harder the heart works. A person's heart rate increases by 10 beats per minute for every 0.5°C increase in core temperature, which can cause dizziness and palpitations.
6. Fatigue:Fatigue occurs because the brain tells the muscles to slow down.
7. Nerve failures:When nerve cells malfunction, symptoms such as headaches, nausea or vomiting arise.

You can protect yourself and others during periods of excessive heat by following these precautions and staying informed about the telltale signs and symptoms of heat-related ailments. During hot weather, it's easy to stay safe and comfortable by drinking enough water, seeking shade, and dressing appropriately.
