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.
