How to Avoid SunStroke?
By
taking a few extra precautions, you can avoid SunStroke.
Wear
lightweight clothes. Loose, light-colored clothing so you won't
absorb so much of the sun's rays.
Drink
Plenty of water or a sports drink, which can replace sodium lost from
sweating.
Carry
an umbrella. Carry an umbrella, or top your outfit with a hat, to
protect yourself from the sun's rays.
Avoid
caffeine. Avoid or limit drinks with caffeine or alcohol, as they can
cause dehydration. Remember, if your urine is dark yellow, you're
probably not drinking enough liquids.
Plan
around peak hours. If you plan to exercise or work in the sun, be
sure to do it in the cooler part of the day, before 10 a.m. or after
4 p.m. Alternately, take it easy on hot days.
